date again. Just date—not necessarily fall in love, get married, get laid—I’m a cautious woman. I don’t want to find another sociopath.

BUT someone to go to the opera with (besides my daughter) would be nice. My son is leaving the nest, and it’s time I re-invented myself a bit. With this nearly 20 lb weight loss I’m feeling a little more confident and ready to have an adventure.

My psychologist has been nagging at me to try match.com. I did try it not long after the DDD, but it was an abysmal experience. Of course, I was no where ready to be dating at that time, so I won’t blame match.com for the problem.

So, I screwed up my courage and signed back on last night. I’m still buffing up my profile, and trying to find a picture to post. I would NEVER have done that before, but I’d rather know on the front end that someone likes my outsides than to have them disappointed.

I used to worrry about the students discovering my profile. But why? Don’t most people want to meet people, and in this day it’s not such an easy thing for a single parent. I think I’m going to have to own that I want to meet people, and leave it at that.

I’ll keep you posted!
