Match or No Match?

There's something to be said about online dating sites.  From what I can tell there have been quite a few marriages and happy families made from Match or e-Harmony (at least that's what the commercials say...).  And pretty much everyone with a husband or serious boyfriend already, is convinced it's the miracle "cure" for us singles.  Just go on create a profile, and Bam!  There's your future Prince Charming.  

And I must admit I've tried; admittedly, not very hard.  I posted a few pics, made a few witty (to no one else but me) remarks, and complained when I didn't get a date.  But it's mostly because I just don't get it.  This may just be me, but I think people are judgemental in general.  The first tiny grammatical error or missed comma, and I'm judging him for being an idiot.  Then there's what we choose to post.  You (or I for that matter) can post anything we want up there, and who's there to verify it?  I can post a resume to rival the Dalai Lama and photo that looks like Cindi Crawford and who's to say I'm not beautiful and brainy?

I've said it before that I have visions in my head of meeting someone the old fashioned way.  Bumping into him on the street or being introduced at a function or at work.  But obviously, that's not working for me.  So maybe I need to try a little harder with this Match stuff even though I don't believe in it all that much.  

I read a quote recently that said something to the effect of, once you find that one special person, you'll wonder why everything was so difficult in the first place.  I certainly hope that's the case.  I just wish the wondering would start sooner rather than later...
