A weekend of chocolate is almost over. I was pretty good and avoided stuffing myself with novelty chocolate shells. Most of my time was spent ignoring the pile of essays I've got to mark and instead catching up on all the episodes of Glee I missed during term time (am I the only one who wasn't rooting for Mr Schu to get with OCD girl?)
Other than that, I also spent a bit of time delving into the world of matrimonial sites. I decided creating profiles on three different sites might help with the husband hunt. Now, I've tried this before with catastrophic results. I'll tell you about it some day. So I wasn't feeling too confident but nevertheless I rambled on about myself for a few paragraphs (the usual sales speech), uploaded some pics and decided to give it a shot because I'm pushing 29 and dang, this is getting harder.
Despite the usual players, I found myself messaging two seemingly ideal candidates/potential husbands/frog princes. The first guy got my sense of humour straight away and we hit it off over our shared love of shoes and the fact that he has more pairs than I do - 46 vs my rather measly 32 (I know what you're thinking. I thought it too.) The second guy seemed a lot more ideal in terms of what I know my family will love. He seemed nice. Both wanted to talk over the phone instead of messaging via the site but I decided I needed a day to think about it. Also, after two hours of being on-line, I needed to log off and go live in the real world. Little did I realise that this innocent act would be punishable via a blocking. I logged in today only to realise Mr Hasty (second bloke) had sent me a message saying he didn't believe I was serious about marriage and had wasted his time so therefore he was going to block me...
What's eating this frog? I reckon his bitterness and impatience is the result of past experience but what miffed me the most was that he didn’t even wait for me to reply to his previous message before going off on a tirade about how serious he is in wanting to settle down and doesn’t have time for the likes of me...
At least I've still got Mr Shoe Lover.
The delicious chocolate frog above can be found over at http://www.chocolatesmith.com/. If only matriomonial sites were as tasty.
Assalaamu Alaykum,
ReplyDeleteOh dear, nevermind. If Mr Hasty is SO hasty at making judgments, I'm sure you're better off without him.
On an even brighter note, what a lovely blog start! ONLY 2 posts and I can't wait for more! In sha Allah.
I love that bookshelf that you have too. It's so appealing to me because you don't have Harry Potter books or the Kiterunner with 5-star ratings! Looking forward to seeing more there too!
Thanks so much for stopping by at my as I'm so glad to have found yours.
ws, thank you for your sweet note. admittedly i was annoyed with mr hasty for about half an hour but then i saw the funny side! i'm afraid i do love the harry potter series! just not enough to give them 5 star ratings (although you should have heard my defence of j k rowling at a staff meeting when we were deciding what to teach as part of our new syllabus). but yes, i need to add a ton more books to that shelf. i seem to read mostly 19th century literature but that's probably because i have to. i really need to read more contemporary fiction :/
