Matchmaker

So yesterday I gave in and spent $1700 on a matchmaking company that will supposedly help me find a husband. Ridiculous, I know, that it should come to that, but guess what... it did. So here's hoping... Of course, after I paid them and signed the contract, THEN I decided to do some research, and found out that the company has an "F" rating by the BBB. Wonderful. But who knows, I guess it could work. They're in the process of planning my first date with "Rob" right now.

I'm almost 36 now, and I recently had a bitter reminder of just how single and lonely I am. And it brought back to the surface how much I really want to find someone to share the rest of my life with. I signed up to do this 8-week Jewish young professionals group. It's been pretty fun, but I don't think my husband is there. Tonight I'm going to a Jewish organization for a Shabbat dinner for 30's and 40's. Who knows, maybe he'll be there...

When I told my mom about the matchmaker, what did she say? "Oh good, I'm glad you're finally making an effort". I was like, what do you mean, FINALLY?? I've done so much - I'm on 3 dating websites, I've gone speeddating, I've been set up, I've tried playing on a coed softball team, I've done this Jewish young professionals thing... So then she agreed to take the word "finally" out of the sentence. Ugh.

Here goes nothing - a new chapter in the single life of R! Here's hoping it works this time...
