Facing Eharmony

I have been a member of the dating website, Eharmony.com now for almost 18 months. I have learn alot of people and myself in that time period.

1. The human face is the best feature of a person.
I think I have looked at profiles for over 1000 people over the last 18 months. I look at the faces and see the beauty that is there within. Also, that i is the only human physical feature that holds any real meaning to me. Through the face are the mouth, the ears, the eyes, and the brain. The mouth is the doorway to the thoughts of a human being and the place where joy can begin. The ears are the highway where thoughts and dreams are given to one another and shared. The eyes, where the soul of humanity is visible and allows others to see the true person within. And the Brain, the one place I hope and pray is working for each and every person who has one/

I know this seems like sentimental mush, but I think that human faces are the only feature I really have to know about know. I can live with the rest of the body, but the face is there and you will see it everyday for the rest of your life, if you can love that face, then how can you see the expression of humanity that are contained within.

2. I apparently have a thing for teachers?!
What I found was that most of the time, I was being matched with people who were also teachers. Now, don' get me wrong, I see beautiful and wonderful people in my profession everyday, but does that mean that's all I want? I know people from the same industry often get together, but I look at my family and I don't see it. I find it interesting to talk to people from different walks of life and enjoy hearing about their lives. Teachers as friends is great, but to be married to one when i am one, I am not sure if that is what I want in my life or not. It does not count against someone, until I decided on it one way or another.

3. Keeping up with it.
I reached the match limit today of 540 possible matches. What!? I sometimes find the whole process overwhelming to the point I just want to say, Screw it, I'll be a monk. I find I spend more time cleaning out the matches box then actually reading the profiles. To Date: I have closed 730 matches from other people in 18 months. I am closing about 2 matches a day, if I checked it everyday. I see why people like the bar more then online dating, quicker responses.

4. I'm still here
Still is the strange conclusion I've reached, I am still here and I am going to keep trying. I know my life is a little nuts, but the choice to give up and not even try looking makes me remember one of the reasons I am looking, I am tried of letting life decide for me. It is better to try and fail then to watch the game and say its terrible without any experience with it. Anyway, enough with my reflection. its late and I have a show to rep tomorrow.

Until next time, May the dreams you seek be joyful and wondrous....or at least interesting.
