Climbing in Skirts

So, I am still in. Many others have bailed. I can't spill all the details on what has happened since January. I can't tell you how far I have made it in the quest (you will just have to wait until I am done). I can tell you the following:

1. Most of the dates have been on Wednesday night. Totally coincidental. I am not trying to make Wednesday the new Friday.
   
2. The common location would be in a coffee shop (some in the same coffee shop).
3. Average date is 2 hours and 15 minutes (I haven't been able to go on a lunch date yet so the date is supposed to be at least 2 hours).
   
4. Most dates were found on the internet.
5. Most dates have ended with an awkward hug and no repeat date.
6. I have conducted internet research on almost all the dates prior to meeting them.
7. Most dates are younger than me and do not own property.

Stay tuned. One of these days I will post all the details.

So, yeah I know the Internet houses some deep dark stuff that's not meant to be read by people, but if you're advertising then I might some day come across your information so do me a favor and be aware of that when you post stuff.

On that note, Yeah I was doing it today, I was internet stalking. Insert shameful face here. It's just that some of my friends have had such good luck that I thought I might find something magical.

Maybe this is too private, but what the heck: I was on a friend's myspace page flipping through their comments section. Let it also be noted here that I've quit the myspace because of incidents like this that I was afraid of happening. In the comments section I found pictures of someone I thought I'd never see again. It was the ex-boyfriend that cheated on me.

I guess the most disturbing thing wasn't the picture; it was that the picture was recent and it was with the girl he cheated on me with (and her head is on his shoulder in the picture). ACK! It's not like I'm still holding a candle for this guy, I mean let's face it, he did cheat on me, but that's not something you'd expect to see out there randomly in the interweb business. Or maybe it is, and I guess what I'm saying is that it just caught me off guard.

It is all starting to make sense; i.e. he cheated on me with her, now he's with her, hmmn funny how that works out sometimes. (Not like I didn't see that one coming a mile away.)

I could go all crazy and be like "Did you cheat on me more than once? How long were you cheating?" but I'm starting to ask myself what would be the use in that? I guess in some ways seeing that picture is a little more closure for me. I've been so angry for so long, but now I get it a little more.

I'm starting to freak myself out here. Re-reading this is starting to sound like a something out of that movie "Mean Girls" or something, but where else can I post stuff like this, no one's really going to read this anyhow.

Let me tell you friends, if you're not prepared to find the worst, then don't go looking, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. Now let's just hope that I remember this valuable lesson next time I decide to go interweb stalking.
