You don't seem like the eHarmony kind of girl. The only people I know who have tried that are right-wing Christians (and myself when I saw friends getting dates left and right).

There should be a music geek dating service. You put in your top five bands and you get matched with someone who has similar taste. No more blind dates with boys who only have Kenny Rogers and Lionel Ritchie in their cd player.




(no offense to Kenny, I'm just sayin')


Though some people (myself included) would be impossible to pin down on this, and dating a music geek seems like you would eventually want to kill them.

Although, I don't know if I could be with anyone who blanket dismissed the Rolling Stones, almost everything else could be tolerated.


i don't think i've dated someone who was more of a music geek than me... probably because i would most likely end up killing them. lately i've been meeting dudes who are so not into my music, but are open-minded... but it gets frustrating after awhile.

Edit: That's not exactly the one I was thinking of. There was one web site posted on Obner a few weeks ago that matched you by music taste.

Yeah, I mean whatever works eh? He emailed me randomly because he saw I was into Twin Peaks. His was the only "friendster dude" email I ever replied to. We emailed eachother for about 2 months before he came & visited me (at the time I wasn't even sure he was into me in a "more than friends way"). He was even more wonderful in person than I thought he'd be--and I had high hopes and a good feeling about it--and we hit it off right away. The only "surprize" was that he's taller than I thought he'd be. Everything else is history. It's all kind of weird, but I really am just too happy to bother questioning how it happened. Let's just say I feel really lucky.
[/blatant mush]

Best of luck to you. :)

lol. normally one would think it'd be easier to meet someone in a big city since there's so many people. especially when you go out a lot... however, i never seem to meet anyone of "quality." i thought i met someone cool but i'm already irritated with him. so i'm just going to give up on dating.

i'm just going to continue dating my music because music seems to be the only thing keeping me happy these days. :roll:

quality over quantity anyday.

You better hope temps stay in the 70s until then. Five days in the trunk of your car can dehydrate her in no time.

t, I know a few women who've had eharmony tell them they were 'too independent' or some such, and thus unmatchable. Those folks have a very particular idea of the kind of relationship they're trying to get people into (which is great, if it happens to match what you're looking for) and I suspect it may not have so much in common with the kind of relationship you're trying to get into.

You rock. Be picky.

I have no problem being picky nor for anyone else being so for that matter. Lemme give you an example of some responses from three separate candidates:

CANDIDATE #1:
Quote:
. I can't stand someone who is overweight.

Well, obviously I'm not a fit for him.

CANDIDATE #2:
Quote:
. I must have a partner who mainly enjoys staying in together and having quiet evenings alone or with close friends.

A couple of guys provided this as one of their MUST HAVEs -- sorry, but being a homebody doesn't sound like my idea of a good time. While, I do enjoy spending some of my time at home, I don't like it on a consistent basis.

CANDIDATE #3:
Quote:
. I can't stand someone who uses illegal recreational drugs.

I'm not an addict, but c'mon...."can't stand"? What's wrong with an occasional hit? This was a CAN'T STAND on at least three candidates' lists.

My gut instinct for candidates 2 and 3 is to close the match and say I'm not interested. But, then I think..."Well, maaaaaaaaaybe I could stay at home alone a lot of the time with the right partner"...."I don't HAVE to smoke out now and then." That would mean I'm selling myself out -- giving in to what other's expectations of me should be, right?

Shit, maybe I'm not meant to be in a relationship.

Eharmony wants you to settle down and sober up! Resistance is worthwhile!

Seriously, eharmony is a christian site. that old fuck in their ads has masters of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. My friend met his gf from this site. They are both at least pseudo-Christian, and my friend told me they ask you questions about your spirtiuality and so forth. But you must know that already...and you may also have some spirituality.

Yeah, the "must haves" are pretty crazy. I had a guy close me out because I didn't want to stay home and raise a lot of kids. I feel like eHarmony is good for people who are looking to settle down right now or are looking for marriage/kids, etc. There's nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't work for flakes like myself.
