I went to the gym yesterday and was worried that I might see one of the online men that I havent responded to yet and he might come ask for a response. What is with my imagination and why is this online dating site ruling my life after only a few days?
How do sell myself if you cant meet me? I can say whatever I want about me, leave out the negative, and load only great photos; this site is making me feel shallow. All of the personal desriptions are starting to sound the same so in the end I really was focusing on photos...which were all kind of the same too. Eventually I send my first "winks" just because their profiles were funny and different. I hope at least one of those guys likes my photos.
Thus far I dislike the online dating experience but have made the commitment so will continue on. Hopefully I will change my mind when I actually start going on dates. I think it is going to be good for me to be pulled from my comfort zone which I guess most of my 2011 goals are going to do. Cheers to begining this year off balance!

Match.com
I created a list of my projected accomplishments for 2012, emailed them to woman of my family, they sent me theirs, and we read, critiqued and questioned each others goals. We all plan to share our updates and progress with each other quarterly with expectation of negative and positive feedback.
this is the first time I have ever shared my true goals and insecurities with a group and am in the hopes that it will help make this the first “successful” year of goal achieving. Because my accomplishments and failures will be known by those in my life with no problem communicating their disappointments and approvals I will try harder to succeed.
The first goal on my list, “Get a man”, learn to date outside of my drinking time and social circle and learn to communicate and share my life with someone other than my cousin. I want to be in a long term relationship and stop having one to several night "relationships" with sometimes complete strangers.
The first step to accomplishing this goal was to set up a match.com account. I foresee this resulting in a lot of mostly unsuccessful and awkward dates which I hope will assist in adopting better communication skills in uncomfortable situations. ultimately the newfound communication skills and connections will lead me to a successful relationship.
After several long frustrating hours of writing and clicking check boxes about myself I had an active online matchmaking account. At the point when I felt I needed a break my sister jumped on and decided to help with my online dating adventures, then my mother joined, then my other sister, and don’t forget about Papa Pete’s input. Family mission - find Cassy a man. I guess it is important for my family to like the man and vice versa so why not have my family help find him?
I sure hope that my family wants to help me achieve the rest of my goals.
