Why is it Getting Harder to Find Time to Write?

Why is it getting harder and harder to write this blog?  Maybe because I really have nothing new to say. 

Dating is turning into a royal pain in the butt.  I've been contacting (with a message or a wink) mainly Jewish men who are between 60 and 72 and have a graduate degree.  It really helps if their interests coincide with mine.  Only a few have responded.  Most communications fizzle after one or two back and forths.  A few who are interested (and somewhat interesting) write for a bit and then say that we live too far apart.  The man I met for lunch last week wrote back -- but he is older than I want (in reality, though not in the age he lists on the site) and we have nothing in common -- so I told him that I didn't want to pursue our "relationship".  And, the ones who are contacting me seem like such losers: high school educated, live somewhere not at all near me, and share absolutely no common interests -- so why are they contacting me in the first place.

Cyndee, a woman I met at one of the meetups and then had dinner with a couple of weeks back, says I should invest in one of the pay dating sites because the quality of men is better.  I just don't know if I am ready yet.  This is depressing -- especially since I am not thrilled with the group meetups either.  I am not and have never been a person who walks into a room full of strangers and is able to network.  I hate cocktail parties -- absolutely want to fade into the wallpaper when I am at one.  And now the lack of this socialization skill is coming back to haunt me.

Maybe I should say chuck it and sign up for J-date or Match.com.  But I don't feel ready.  Why pay to be on a site if I am not going make an attempt.  I don't know!

Help me, help me, help me!
