$ingle lady #5's BiG NiGhT

So I went on my date last night. Overall I'd rate it an 8 based on the fact that I laughed 75% of it, there were no awkward silences, and he was pretty talkative. He obviously did some light google stalking. Within the first 5 minutes he asked where I went for undergrad, I replied "Richmond" and he responded with "THE SPIDERS! They had a big upset back in 1987." Someone did some homework... Any way whatev he was pretty cute... an 8 on the SPS.

Signs the date went well / Pros of Michael
-He paid
-He gave me a hug at the end
-He touched my leg at least at least four times.
-He likes sports.
-He is Catholic.

Signs the date went not so well / Cons of Michael
-There was no follow-up "Lets do this again!!!"
- I have a small bladder and went to the bathroom twice- 20 minutes
apart. I hope he didn't think I was texting my friends.
- Some how my CPA flashcards became topic of conversation and he
started quizzing me.


So IDK, if he calls sweet. If he doesn't I'll move on. $L2 said no texting "Thanks for last night!" So i'll give myself all day today to act like a 15 year old and then I'm moving on.

$ingle lady #5 brought a nip of tequila in preparation for her date tonight

After going back and forth with Mike the school teacher, we're finally going on a date tonight. I'm already sweating. He gave me his gchat email since "he doesn't really check eH that often." This is actually code for, "your return time on my eH averages 5-7 days so let's cut to the chase and go straight to gchat." His gchat email is cwru625@.... WTF? Who doesn't use their actual name? This reminds me of college screen names like Surfstud919. He probably made this name up for signing up for free porn and eH. I gave him mine, realizing he has full access to facebook/google stalking.

So I received an email last night at 8p. "Tuesday night. Pepper Cannister. 7p. Talk soon." So it is official. I BBM'd my bffs, requesting outfit advice. All my clothes are at the dry cleaners except for two pairs of tight pants- black and khaki. I wore the black Monday so I was left with the Khaki. The outfit choosing convo went as follows:


BFF: Wear work sexual attire.
Me:I wore my sexy pants today.
BFF: Like wear a cute work outfit.
Me. I know how about tight suit khaki pants, jcrew ruffly tank and cardigan.
BFF: No NO KHAKIS.
BFF: Well do you have anything else tight?
Me: Everything else is at the dry cleaners. What about a black wrap dress?
BFF: YES!
Me: Ok done!

So this morning I'm wearing... my khaki pants, jcrew ruffly tank and cardigan.

Counting down til 7p.

$L#5's wishes are granted

So I am probably the laziest person on the face of the earth so I was pleasantly satisfied when I got an email request from Michael who rates an 8 on the SPS (slam piece scale). He said he thought eH's guided communication was awkward and wanted to know what I was up to this weekend/if I was up for getting a dRiNk. Looks like I AM participating in DW2k10! But hold the phone... I'm really scared. This is going to be totally awkward and I'm sweating in my desk chair thinking about it. OMG I'm probably going to pregame it and then over do it and be a drunk slob kabob. UGH. Also, I think I'm falling in love more and more with work buddy.

On a side note slightly related to SPS, I was listening to the radio during my morning commute and the DJ's were discussing how $L's should settle for say 7/8's and not look for that perfect 10. Their points were pretty valid which included there are NO $ingle Doods that are PERFECT 10s. Also if you are picky in your twenties, searching for that 10, you'll over look the 7/8s.... you'll enter your 30's /40's (omg i'm already stressing) and the only ones who will even look your way are 4/5's. Long story short... $Ls: there are plenty of decent $D out there that you can bring home to mom and dad... just stop being so darn picky.

And $L 4- if he's worth it, he'll understand your busy schedule and give you a second chance.

Happy Thursday,

Positive Polly $L5

FIVE is ALIVE

Hello readers,

I signed up for eH as promised, however, I've been in some what of a rut. This weekend was just overall terrible: my exam was horrible, I received undesirable test results from the previous exam, Crate and Barrel delivered the wrong bed I ordered, I didn't cap my Dior Show mascara so it dried out, someone created an offensive twitter account for me (just kidding that shiz is hilarious)...and to top it all off the $90 for 3 months promo ended just as I was entering my CC digits. UGH. Sorry. I'm being a huge Debbie Downer. That's enough of mybitter buffalo/poor me rant.

I logged into eH Sunday night expecting a Woof Factor of 75% based on the other $ingle Ladies' experiences. To my surprise, I only had a couple Woof Jobs (that sounds nasty, I'll refrain from using that again). However, my promising Teen Wolf Tom was literally a werewolf. UGH. I responded to the suitors that sent me questions and reviewed the pics of all my matches. Seeing as there were 50 matches and I decided to peruse them at 10p on a Sunday night, I didn't do a thorough analysis of each profile. I did find some good ones.

I've been kind of disappointed that I'm not engaging in friendly banter with my suitors a la $L2, nor am I participating in Date Week2k10. However, I'm realizing this is all my fault. Partaking in eH has just made me realize that I'm a very passive person. I want things to come to me and unfold my way.

I have about 3 requests to skip guided communication and going straight to email. These boys are pretty decent too. However, I am overcome with a sense of uneasiness... similar to that feeling you got as a twelve year old when sending out your A/S/L over AOL instant messenger. After morning chatting with $L 2, I'm going to have to be more ballzy and start sending out "Ice Breakers" and engaging in the open communication email. I've got a busy evening of eH'ing ahead of me.

Boring the readers to death with her crabby pants post,

$ingle lady #5: I shouldn't admit this but...

I am not a fan of showering on weekends unless I'm going out. Strike that, I'm just not a fan of showering unless I will be around some slampiece or going somewhere that really matters like work. One time in college I went a whole 6 days not showering. However, I've changed my mind on this sitch. One of my birthday gifts from the parents included a lotion/shower gel combo from Fresh that is delightfully scented Sugar Lemon. I also got Bumble Bumble Alojoba 'poo and conditioner. These products smell so awesome that I have regained full interest in showering. Not only have I taken to smelling wonderful, I but I have also began partaking in girl rituals involving the painting of my nails, application of makeup everyday, nightly facial masks and the brushing of my hair not once but twice a day. I smell lovely; really, I can't stop sniffing my hair and skin.

This post makes my former self seem so unhygenic and butch. Don't get me wrong- I shower every day for work and I shower on the weekends if I go out. However, I didn't really go the extra mile...until today. The point of my post is that we should all these little things, these girly traditions that make us feel great and look great. Although it seems stupid and minute, I do think it makes a difference. It makes us feel put together and therefore act with confidence and sass.

Ok enough of this Cosmogirl of the Year shizzzzz. I'm gonna go apply some Lemon Lotion.

$aid I wasn't going to post but $L2 is being a bLoG hOg

E-Harmz gave me an offer I can't refuse: 3 months for $90!!! ZING. Quick update from eH: Teenwolf has nudged me to speed up my responses. Wish he knew about my eH hiatus status until Saturday. I'm glad he is still keeping interest. The matches have slowed down which I am thankful for since I like to keep a clean Gmail inbox. Test day/eH signup day is a mere 4 days away!!!!

Talk to you later,
The ever so studious $L#5

$ingle lady #5 is out of commission for the next week

So I haven't paid my eHarm dues but can still see new matches, brief summaries of my suitors and receive communication requests. It has been 3 days since I have had this tease of a version of eH. I'll admit, part of me wants to pay, see some faces, and continue finding my soul mate.

So here is my status: Monday night was my last chance to communicate. I quickly responded to all open communications I had with the fellas. I sent Teen Wolf my must haves/cant stands. I went over the remaining matches that had not requested communication. Out of the 10 or so, I chose one I was going to proactively send an icebreaker too. (Call me old fashion, but I wait for the boys to seek me). My choice was Billy a 26 year old MED student. Mom and Dad always wanted me to marry a doctor!!! He hasn't responded yet :( On Monday, I received communication requests along with responses from previous matches. AARON decided he wanted to accelerate things and go straight to e-mailing. I'm weary since I have no idea what he looks like (i'm shallow. sue me.) Tuesday morning, at 7:15 am Teen Wolf sent me his must haves/ can't stands. BUT ALAS, do to my unpaid status, I couldn't see his responses. Wednesday, I got another round of matches... A couple Jims... automatic close, and some others...

So IDK, I'm getting kind of bored with eH and am STILL pondering officially signing up. I am developing a level 3 crush on my work buddy. (Level 3 is you smile when you see them and want to know more little facts about him. It isn't a hardcore level 5 type crush because you don't start choosing cute outfits in the hopes you'd see him that day.) Today I learned WB (work buddy) is catholic ZING, and LOVES meat. As it is Ash Wednesday today, we Caths had to abstain from meat. WB gave himself a pat on the back for not having meat today since he hearts it. I'm not sure if my crush is real though. Since my work environment is biz profesh, he has to wear a suit. This automatically makes him really cute. I also am on the fence about joining due to this pressing responsibility of studying like WHOA for my upcoming CPA exam. I'm taking it February 26 (WISH ME LUCK!). For those that know me, you know I'm a horrible test taker, it has taken me awhile to pass these SOB's and I'm pretty much set on taking/passing all 4 sections. Giving up just isn't an option. So I am focusing on that for the next week and half. Then I will resume my online dating/blogging. My BFF's seriously asked me if I wanted 3 months of eH as my birthday present. I laughed for a good 5 minutes because I seemed like this poor, no friends in the new city, charity case... Ty from Clueless if you will... (Is it too soon to mention Brittany Murphs?) I may take them up on this offer though. THen I can spend the $120 on this new J.Crew dress I have been eying for any future dates! As you can see this last paragraph is just my thoughts running 100 mph which is my cue to bounce and study!!!


Until February 27,

Senorita Cinco

$ingle Lady #5 - Getting Lazy

I am overwelmed with eH. There are less than 24 hours left in free communication weekend and I haven't found the man of my dreams. Here are some highlights from my search:

Tom 26 from Chicago- He is a CPA and is inspired by the 80's flick Teen Wolf. I'm in love. We've been communicating via eHarmz' questionnaires but neither of us have taken it to the next step.

Tom 35 from Niles- I closed this match due to our age difference; eharmz asks why you are closing this match... I usually choose "other" but this time I chose the age diff. This morning I received a message from Tom saying, "age isn't anthing but a number. good luck with your search." Shoot, I'm being too picky.

Michael 30 from Chicago- He is an attorney. Loves his dog- only lady in his life. He enjoys running. This one could have potential. He sounds ambitious and financially sound. I can deal with his love for dogs. I LOVE when people LOVE their dogs. and I enjoy running too...I sent my responses to his questions and have yet to hear his responses to mine. Fingers crossed.

In other news outside of the eHarmz realm, one of the (cute) external auditors I work with popped in my office, asked standard work question then asked about my weekend. I was hoping he would just end all of this, ask me to lunch, and I could avoid the whole eHarmony biz. But sigh, he was just killing time before his monday morning meeting with my boss. The whole time he spoke I couldn't help but wonder if he was on eH and noticed I was on it since my name isn't pretty traditional. I'm probably being paranoid.

So since work blocks eH, I can't keep up correspondence with my suitors. I'll have to do some mad eH'ing when I get home. In the meantime, I'll be deciding whether or not I will pay the money and add faces to names.

Hoping these boyz aren't WOOF,
SL5

$iNgLe LaDy #5 (we gotz another one!)

Hello Readers!

I am $ingle Lady numero cinco. After seeing an email from eHarmony informing me of free communication, I took it as a sign to enter the dating world. Also, as I informed $L #2, being $L #5 had such a lovely ring to it and I could milk various phrases including the number five in my witty posts. Thus, when I saw there was a new SL, I jumped on my chance at becoming #5.

So here is a little about myself: I went to college in the south and moved to Washington D.C. where I spent 3 lovely years working at one of the big 4 accounting firms. I like to call this period of my life College II. I still got ridiculously blacked out, while maintaing a healthy balance of work and play. However, going out in big groups that include male friends that like to dance with you only to attract their own $ingle lady, while getting crushed to the point where full sentences can not be formed doesn't quite attract potential boyfriends. However, after 3 years, I decided to move back to my home turf- CHICAGO where most of my family and high school friends still reside.

To my dismay, a lot has changed since highschool and I could no longer rely on my high school BFFs to go the bars and go where the night took us. With significant others and other responsibilities such as obtaining a law degree and teaching high school teens, it appeared I was flying solo and no longer had my partners in crime. That being said, I'm investing my time in finding a boyfriend/potential husband???? Ok I won't get ahead of myself. I guess I just need someone to hangout with and since I already have a sister/mother who hang out and shop with me, I might as well find someone I can hang out and makeout with at the same time... ENTER eHarmz.

Tonight I will create my profile and begin a weekend of communication with potential suitors. LeT tHe GaMe$ begin!

Yours Truely,

$iNgLe LaDy 5
