A girl I sent a message to on Sunday wrote back! She said:

Thanks for your interest in my profile! I liked yours as well. I completely understand not wanting to be defined by your job. I work as an accountant, but I definitely don't fit the stereotype.

I tried to explain to her in my first Email that she shouldn't hold it against me that I did computer programming stuff, because people think you're some kind of nerd if that's the case.

Her name is Stephanie. She had photos too. I could see her whole body in them. She's no model, but at least she's not super fat or anything like that.

I got a message back on Yahoo! Personals from some girl named Amy I contacted a month ago! She wrote that she didn't check her Yahoo! Personals very often, and would I send her a photo to her real Email address (I thought I posted it online). I Emailed her my photo.

I am happy to report that I sent out messages to 10 more girls on Yahoo. And then I cancelled my account, so there won't be any more Yahooing for me, at least not in the near future. Maybe I'll try Match.com next. They seem really big.

But first I'll wait to see if anything develops from my recent contact attempts.

I should also mention that when I quit Yahoo! Personals, it turns out that I have until the end of my billing cycle to keep using it. So maybe what I should have done was quit the first day so I didn't accidentally go into an extra month. I think that the most efficient way to use these online dating services would be to pay for only one month, and send out a whole lot of messages during the one month, then take a month off.

Upon further thought, it would be a waste of a good blog to quit, and I really do need to find a girlfriend. I just need to make sure, in the future, that I quantify what a "few extra pounds" really means. And I need to recognize the fact that a really fat chick can hide her fatness with a photograph of just her head, where you can't see the fat body underneath it.

I apologize for not writing in here for two weeks, I promise that in the future I will keep the blog updates on a more regular basis.

I will now put forth some effort to send out some more contacts to Yahoo! Personals babes. And then I will cancel my account tomorrow so I don't get billed for another month. It's time to move on to a different personals service.

Oh my god, it was totally disgusting. I went to the restaurant where I was scheduled to meet Michelle, and standing outside was this huge disgusting fat girl! It turns out this was Michelle. She must have weighed like 230 pounds or something!

I didn't know what to do. I guess I should have told her to go take a hike or something, but I was too nice of a guy to do that. So I went through with the dinner. It was so embarrassing. The waitress was a hot babe, what did she think of me eating dinner with this disgusting porker?

Michelle was such a liar. Her ad said her body type was a "few extra pounds". A "few pounds" to me means like 10 pounds. 20 pounds is a few. 100 pounds is NOT a FEW POUNDS, it's a FREAKIN' LOT OF POUNDS.

I couldn't wait for the meal to end. What if someone I knew saw me in the restaurant? That would be so horrible. It finally ended and she waddled out, and I walked her to her car, and that was the end of that. I was real stupid for paying for her meal too.

This online dating sucks. I quit.

I called Michelle to make sure we were still going out on Friday, because I didn't want to get stood up or anything. Yep the date is still on, yeah! And we talked for twenty minutes or so, she seems so nice, I can't wait to meet her.

Today was also the two year anniversary of 9/11. This doesn't really have anything to with online dating, I guess it has no place here.

I'm sorry that I haven't updated the blog in four days, but there really wasn't anything to say. I'm waiting to go out with Michelle on Friday. Maybe she'll become my new girlfriend, and then I'll have to close down the blog, because the blog is about my adventures trying to find a girlfriend. Once I find her there won't really be much to write about anymore.

Michelle called ME at 12:30 today. How about that. And once again she sounded really nice and I enjoyed talking to her. I made up to go out to dinner with her on Friday.

Initially I thought on a first blind date it would be a bad idea to commit to dinner and to a Friday night, but it's not like I have anything better to do next Friday anyway, and she sounds really great, and I've seen her picture, so I don't think anything could go wrong.

It's Friday again. I guess I can't call anyone on a Friday night, I'd look like a loser.

I called Michelle tonight, but she wasn't home, so I left a message on her answering machine.

I haven't called Jennifer again yet. Her butch sounding voice, and the fact that she wouldn't drive to our first meeting because it might rain, this all has kind of put me off. Michelle seems a lot better, and Michelle has a picture too (although it was blurry and all I could see was her face).

I just got off the phone with Michelle! She sounds so great! She was sweet and nice, and had a really pretty voice, and she really seemed to like me. I think she did anyway. We talked for about forty-five minutes, and she told me all about her job as a school teacher, and I think her father is some rich lawyer, which is good, maybe I can marry into money, then I won't have to work ever again.

Unfortunately, about after forty-five minutes or so, she had another call and it was her mother and she said she had to take it, and I said no problem I'd call her back some other time.

So that's it... I guess I have to call her back or something.

Michelle left me a message on my answering machine. I wasn't home, and I got back too late to call her. But so for, she sounds great!! She has a really sweet sounding voice, so much nicer than Jennifer, who sounded kind of butch.

I can't wait until tomorrow when I can call her back.
