Day Zero - 30 Day Journey into Online Dating

I was the host of a local TV interview show covering the local independent filmmaking scene. Back then, I was married, and had been for 17 years.

But after the show was canceled, I found myself divorced... essentially 'Single' again - something I never thought would happen. Yet here I am.

The cast and crew of the show recently met at a local bar to talk over old times, and almost as one they couldn't believe I was un-attached - not actively dating someone. They asked me why I hadn't tried on-line dating, and I expressed how 'skeptical' I am about it.

They convinced me to try on-line dating, and made me PROMISE to give it a SINCERE and CONSISTENT TRY for 30 DAYS. This will be my 'journey into on-line dating'.
For my profile, I wrote:
It says I need four sentences. Are we there yet? Skeptical, but promised my friends I would try online dating for 30 days. So here goes.

Mr. Right, but only for that certain someone. I'll know her once I get to know her.

Besides, a profile named "Mr. Right" would make even MY eyes roll. ;?D

I explained the Mr. Average thing best in an email to someone:

"I'm NOT Mr. RIGHT - no one is right ALL THE TIME. But I'm also not Mr. WRONG - not wrong ALL THE TIME. I'm somewhere in the middle."
