Not a blog

Or maybe nada blog. Not much posting been going on here... is it too much anger? It's so difficult to say. Perhaps I need to let my guard down and post more personal things. As an experiment, let's see how that goes:

So it ought not be a shock to most of my readers that my wife of 9 years left me back in February. If it is a shock, I'm sorry I didn't tell you personally, but I've only recently come to terms with it and made peace with my feelings on the subject. We're trying to stay friends, and it's mostly working.

One of the parts of this whole situation that I dislike intensely is that fact that I will at some point have to start dating again, if I don't want to end up the lonely guy with all the cats. Which is not entirely accurate, the again part. I feel like I never really dated, sure I had girl friends, but it was a long long time ago and I was never that smooth to begin with. So I am more than a little terrified of the prospect of meeting new people, being charming, and asking her out. Friday I did sort of take the first step by chatting up two attractive young women, and apparently did not creep them out too much. But I was still awkward, and I'm sure it was entertaining for them.

So there it is, if any one has any advice, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Dr Chompers and I looked over your Match prospects yesterday, and there are definitely a number of low-key date-type prospects there. You should start working on your profile.

Thanks, I'll have to try that.

Dr Yakalumpf, PhD said...

I'm good at profile editing, too.

Cool, I'll have take you up on that.

Watch out! Dr Y has been known to exaggerate one's interests. I have it on good authority that she once wrote how someone liked to spend their day skydiving while sipping a fine merlot, only to land on a jet ski and ride off to a spontaneous beach party...

Dr. C,

I wish I wrote well enough to convey my absolute enjoyment of that comment, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a week.
