Today, I declared I was done with online dating after several disasters. My friend set me up with a friend of her husband's. Turns out he's one of the men who rejected me on the website. He laughed when he saw me and said, "Well, this is awkward" and left. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, I went on a blind date that my friends set up. Not only did my date visibly recoil at the sight of me, she ended up trying to convince me that we're actually cousins. When I told her how absurd that was, she muttered, "Fuck it" and left. FML
Today, I re-joined a popular on-line dating service. I'd first signed up 3 years ago and was matched with a wonderful woman. After about a year, she broke up with me. I was devastated. After two years of trying to win her back, I'd decided it's best just to move on. Guess who they matched me with? FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, after weeks of being hounded to go out on a date with this guy, I finally found the time and invited him over, fully intending to hook up. He stood me up. FML
Today, my "friends" set me up on a blind date with a guy who according to their description, sounded perfect in just about every way. He turned out to be my obsessive ex, and this is their idea of a funny prank. FML
Today, I met my online date at a café. As soon as I walked in, I walked straight up to the wrong person, and launched into a 2-minute ramble about how excited I was to finally meet him. He just blinked and said, “I’m married.” My actual date was sitting right behind me, albeit a similar but not as good looking man. FML
Today, a colleague told me he was pretending to be me on a dating site, and that he has four pending dates. Last time I tried being myself, my first and only date pushed me down some stairs. FML
Today, I removed all my online dating profiles. Apparently my ex-husband finds stalking me online preferable to spending time with his new girlfriend. FML
Today, a friend showed me my husband's online dating profile, which includes photos of him with our kids. FML

How is he rude? He is allowed to not like someone. I doubt you couldn't have handled the situation much better either if you were in his shoes.

You've tried online dating and blind dating. It's now time to try speed dating and if by chance you meet and get rejected by the same guy, then know that the universe is telling you there's only one guy for you, and he isn't interested.

Sorry, man... I appreciate your humor, but if I were her, that could actually deeply hurt because it sounds too close to what I'd think the truth is.

This is where throwing anything in your hand across his face would be justified. Or just give him a nice soundly bitch slap.

So if somebody isn't interested in you and is a bit rude your first reaction is to use physical violence? How would you feel if somebody asked for your number and if they didn't receive a satisfactory answer they ran the back of their hand across your face? Being rejected is not an excuse to attack somebody. Somebody being discourteous is not an excuse to attack somebody. There is really no good reason to be violent unless the other person is. If you are willing to attack somebody over being rejected I would hate to see what you would do if you were already in a relationship and you had even hollow suspicion of infidelity or if they back out of a date.

Don't lose heart, fellow Wisconsinite. There's 5 million people in this state and 7 billion on this planet. He's out there. I guarantee it. :)

Aww :( I'm sorry. There's millions of other guys out there that would at least give you the time of day before blowing you off like that

Good wording

This may not be what you want to hear right now, OP, but I suggest embracing being single. I haven't been on a date in over 6 months, and life is great! Also, with my focus not being on dating, I can see those who are interested, and clearly decide whether or not I want to break my no dating policy based on what I want, since I'm not seeking companionship for companionship's sake.

Not being an ass, but what is the difference between seeing someone who's interested, and dating someone?

Not "seeing them" as in going out, but as in being aware of them.
