I'm a young, single, intelligent, pretty, goofy black woman. I should be able to get a date right? Wrong. Since I've been living here in Atlanta, GA my dating my life has been at an all time LOW! I've been on a few dates and talked to a few guys but no one has been able to hold my attention for more than a few days.
I've been here for a year. I moved here from a very small town. My social calendar was never empty. I guess when I moved here I had a preconceived notion that a Big city meant more men and more dates. I was wrong.
I recently went home, to my hometown, and had a conversation with a family friend. She's about 50 years old and she's married. She has 3 sons, we all kind of grew up together. Their ages are 30, 26 and 21. Anyway, I went over to her house because I hadn't seen her in a very long time. While I was theere she was showing me pictures of her oldest son's kids. Then we went on to talking about her other boys, girlfriends. I kknew the conversation was going to lead to my dating life next. I could here the nosy-ness in her voice. I'd tried to dance around it as mush as I could but she wasn't having it.
"So have you gotten over you commitment issues?" Excuse me. Who told you I had commitment issues? I replied. "Oh girl please everybody knows that! You never keep a man around for no more than 6 months and you always have some bullshit excuse about why you don't wanna keep them around. (Sidenote: She's known me my entire life so she can talk to me like this.)
I was taken aback by her statement. Me? Issues? I had to think about it for a second. I think she's right. I know she's right. Damn!
"Maybe you should try registering for a dating site! So that way you can talk and find out if the guy is worth your time or not." I was appalled at the thought of plastering my face and all my stats on a dating site! I am not a charity case. Geez! I'm alone but not lonely!
but the more I thought about it, the more it made a little bit of sense. (just a little, LOL) Maybe it isn't such a bad idea. i mean there are thousands of ppl on there right?
has anyone had any success on a dating site? Any horror stories?

3 had something to say:
never been on a dating site, and u should stop by my store for dogs one day and have some grape (wine) with me, 572 edgewood Braincell - a store 4 dogs
Thank goodness, I've never needed to register on a dating site...not to say there is anything wrong with them, I'm just glad I'm married and don't have to do the dating thing.
If you did decide to register on one or more, you should try to find a reputable one...can't help you with that either, but the two popular ones that I can think of are eharmony.com and match.com.
Good luck, girlie.
Btw, why do you have committment issues?
@Torrance-thanks for the invitation to your store. I will have to take you up on that one day
@Tilted-The issues come from my father not being around i'm sure.*rolls eyes* but I just don't like feeling tied down. My mind changes with the wind. Commitment just isn't appealing to me, especially b/c my generation don't take monogamy serious at all.The funny thing is I've ALWAYS been this way. It wasn't like I was heartbroken & then turned to ice! I've always had an icebox where my heart used to be! LOL
