Midweek Blues

Today we had to be at school right on time. It was so hard after a snow day Friday and 2 hours late Monday and Tuesday. I drank too much caffeine last night at youth and didn't fall asleep til like 2:30. So I'm tired and I think in turn a little cranky. I'm trying not to be but it is hard.
Nothing good or new on the dating front. The rocker and I are suppose to hang out tomorrow but I don't really want to anymore. I tried talking to him about what was important to me but he didn't get it. I'm hoping that he's lost interest since I haven't heard from him since Monday. Luckily even if I do, a youth thing came up so I have to do that.
I'm beginning to make some generalizations about men now that I've been doing this online dating thing for a month and a half. The first one is 28 is a good age for 38 year old men to find attractive. I've been winked at and contacted by mostly 38 year old me. I personally think that is too old. 35 is my limit and even that seems a little too old. The second is that men use online dating as a numbers game. The more girls they wink at the better chance they have to getting one to respond. 3. They believe that when they email a girl 3 times and she hasn't responded to it doesn't mean she isn't interested. When in fact it does mean she isn't interested. 4. Just because they email you doesn't mean they are really interested. If you mention church, they realize they probably aren't going to get sex and don't send you a second email.
I've talked to quite a few 33 year olds and I've drawn some conclusions about them. 1. They are starting to focus on their bodies again. They work out obsessively and worry about food. 2. The seem to be interested in girl on girl action. Could be all guys and at 33 they decided to actually put it out there. 3. They use different words for things than I'm use to. They use slang that I no longer hear people saying. I could give an example but it is way inappropriate. Could be that I'm just use to teenagers. 4. They actually seem to believe in treating women a certain way. They hold doors open and give really good compliments.
These are all just generalizations and mean nothing but this is what I've learned from online dating. I'm fairly certain it is not for me but I still have a month and a half on match.com. I'm also fairly certain dating in general isn't for me. Not sure how I'm going to find someone to marry and have babies with though. Maybe I'll just skip the husband and adopt.
Now that I've sat down and thought about the things I've learned, the midweek blues have definitely set in. Good thing I have kindergarteners and teenagers to make me feel better.
