Single signals

Last night I was scrolling through the literal hundreds of channels on the direct tv (am currently housesitting) trying to find something to watch (difficult I think!) and I come across a show called: Why am I still single.

Funny stuff right here! Except, oh!! There are way TOO many similarities between those people and me on this show that its...well....frightening!!!!! And, here I am sitting inside on a Sunday afternoon watching....reality television. Yep, maybe this is why I am single? (Side note: but in my defense I do not do this very often AND its blustery and wet out there today!!!)

Truthfully I haven't even thought about dating for a few months. And I realize sometimes that I dont put myself out there enough. Its just "easier" being single! And sometimes I get swept up in everyday life and forget that maybe I should be noticing and noting nice single guys, and going out on dates more often...

Except I don't know how to ask directly if they are single. How ARE we supposed to know?!? Is there a universal signal we as singles are supposed to use? And it must be even tougher for guys. I also dont do so well at letting them know I am single... (Nor do I want every available man that crosses my path to know I am single) I do put on an air of confidence, too much at times, I admit. Sending confusing signals to the potential dates that drift my way.

Perhaps I should black sharpie across my forehead that I am looking? How else are the single guys that are also looking going to find me? Theres nothing better than flirting over vegetables in the produce section but.... they dont seem to grocery shop the same times that I do. I look avidly in the woods each weekend. Nope, not there either. Ebooks are hitting the local libraries pretty hard so no page turners there(plus there are definatly undesirables that live between those shelves year round...) Going to the bars is not an interest of mine. And guys in this town dont like to dance without being shnakkered up first!! (Hint to you single, mildly sober guys out there....you can usually find me out on the dance floor!!!!)

It does not help things that I have an absolute no tolerance policy for drugs and heavy alcohol use, want someone near my own age, with minor knowledge of healthy eating is much appreciated with my current daily challenges with diabetes.

I am timid about it, and dont neccessarily want to put everything out there on the web. But, I am seriously contemplating internet dating.

So, my question to you all. What do you think about dating through the Internet?

So here I go back to this show.....really, I can't be like this
lady who when she is uber nervous out on a date cannot stop talking and giggling on the cusp of annoying.....(actually I am the exact opposite and tend to go all quiet tee hee hee.....) Okay shall work on that....

Goal for the week: To ask a guy if he is single. Stay tuned.

Du er enkel? ("are you single" in Norwegian ;)
