The gym
boy has a three-year old girl and is divorced. Just my luck. He told me his
full name in conversation. The stalker that I am (a girl has to do a background check), I did a search on Google of his name
and I found his LinkedIn profile. There is a section “recommendations” and upon
reading it, he recommended an optometrist for Lasik. This is where I learned
that his three-year old daughter got her eyes checked. Even better, he attached
a YouTube clip of his Lasik surgery. It was def him. It ends with a picture of
the surgeon, himself, and his ex-wife.
Everyone was labeled on the picture (it did say "ex-wife"!). I sure attract the winners!
It’s
disappointing because he was my type. He was so nice and would always say hi to
me first and talk to me after his workout. At least
I found out now. Thank you, Internet!
Are there
any single guys out there with no history of divorce, a child, or a wife on the
side? A single girl needs someone with a clean slate! I get the leftovers. Good thing my gym membership ended.
Keepin’ it real,

I am coming to grips with this myself, but I've found that the older I get, the more impossible it is to find someone who is completely free of baggage. So while I would prefer to date a "clean slate," I have to come to peace with the fact that practically no one is like that anymore, and I could be missing out on some awesome people if I rule them out when I find out what their baggage is.
ReplyDeleteThink about it, sweetie. If this guy was really awesome and the only bad thing he has going for him is that he was divorced and has a kid, you could do a lot worse. You never know!
That is true. It was just a turnoff for me. I can't imagine myself dating a guy with a kid. Divorced, I can deal. I did notice that more people around my age are divorced and/or with kids. It is what is in the pool. I can't bring myself to that idea though.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. It has always been a huge turnoff to me. I'm doing the best I can to accept it, though. I am also by no means perfect, so I can't expect anyone else to be perfect, either, or I'll be alone forever!
