DD got a new job, which thrills me to death. But until she can drive I have the fun of chauffeuring her back and forth to work, which turned my routine onto its head. I've also tossed my hat into the online dating ring, which I am already beginning to think was a mistake. Too many people want to play games, and I am just not in the mood for that.
People say things about themselves to make themselves attractive, but on meeting them you discover they are nothing like the way they described themselves. Kind of like the Rugged wear in the picture.
Maybe it is harder for me being older, maybe it's just Asperger's but I expect honesty from people, and the games just turn me off to the whole idea of meeting someone online. Then again I really don't have the social skills to meet people any other way at the moment, so I will look at some of the articles that keep being posted about Aspergers and Dating. The problem with most of those is they are written for teens and young adults just starting their lives, while I am older and starting over. My marriage lasted 25 years because we were both Aspies and were weird in the same ways, but when it fell apart it did so spectacularly. In 10 years of dating, I seem to keep finding Mr. Wrong. Even my DD has told me I have terrible taste in men, and she verified that she included her father in that assessment.
Well, I'm just going to keep looking anyway. Maybe I can prove her wrong by finding Mr. Right.
