When Online Personals aren’t cutting it anymore…

Published by gaychristians under Affiliates

Now that I am single, I am actually looking for ways to meet people. It’s a tough place out there. It’s either you meet someone you like that does not like you or someone likes you that you don’t like. It’s a crazy world we live in. I’ve tried personal ads before, newspapers, online whatever. But I have never tried a personal dating service. You know, the one where you submit your profile and they try and find you a match and set you up on a date? There’s one woman I think that started something like that but with a different concept. You just go out to lunch with someone and therefore not obliged to do anything else afterwards. If you like the person, you may continue on. If you don’t – you can say.. CYA!

But there’s a new kind that appealed to me better that the lunch thing. It’s a dating service called Table of Six. Ever hear of it? If you live in the Sacramento, CA area, and part of the Sacramento singles, you may have heard of it. It’s been around for two years and successful in setting up three couples meeting for the date and not just lunch – they plan these elaborate activities that are in the interest of their clients~! Yuppers – if you’re one who loves to go skiing and they find you a match that loves the same thing, prepare yourself for a ski trip. Same goes for camping, kayaking, dinner or whatever. And the best thing is, you get to meet three people and whoever clicks – you’ll never know! Plus, you may gain friends as well. Like attracts like right?

Maybe that’s one that I should try. You’ll never know if someone out there loves to just sleep. I wonder what they’re going to setup for people who love to sleep? A slumber party? ;)

You better believe it! Phone chats are still alive and well.

Sheesh, I am actually surprised. I remember, before the internet became widely popular in meeting people, there was the phone chats. One of my buddies would always call this line and meet people through this medium. I guess it was a way to meet people. I have always found it hard to meet anyone anyway and he thought it best to use the free chat over the phone. I guess it beats putting out a personal ad. ;)

Anyway, sometimes we would go out on a Friday night. As soon as we get home, he’s on the phone already talking to people. I would listen to them set up their dates or whatever. It was foreign to me because I never met people that way but it seemed to work for him. The free chat, just like the internet is on 24/7 so the moment that we get up in the morning, he will be on that phone talking to someone.

I guess there’s a lot of people still using the same medium today. For some, maybe it’s better to speak to someone than to email him to set up your date. It probably feels more personal as well. Hey, if it works – why not? These lines are still available today and maybe some things do last.

Should I Do It?

Published by gaychristians under Should I Do It?

Over the weekend, I was so tempted to trade my car in for the new Mercedes C class. I was thinking that I’ve had my car for three years, it only has 27,000 miles and in perfect condition. I priced it and the trade-in value could be as hihg as twenty-seven thousand dollars! The new C Class, if I get the basic with no upgrades, will only be thirty two thousand five hundred dollars. That woudl mean that I will only finance, approximately five thousand five hundred dollars. Even if I finance that for two years, I can do it.

The problem was I keep hearing or reading how much it is to maintain a Mercedes Benz. Just tires alone could cost me a bundle let alone engine issues or electrical issues. So, I decided to hold off until I’m sure. I am still keeping an open mind though because I really want to get a Mercedes Benz. In this lifetime, I promised myself that I will get to drive my own Benz – no ifs, ands or buts.

I was checking out their website and boy, the new C Class sure is pretty. It could be my new baby for 2008. I may sound a little too materialistic but I just wanted to taste the fruits of my labor. I have been working since I was 18 and haven’t stopped. It would be nice for me to buy what I want for once. It is not a necessity and it’s not something I need but that is exactly my point.
