I'm not in a very good mood.
Anonymous writes: "Dating is not just about you -- it is made infinitely easier, if not just plain old possible, by having enough of yourself left over (after ruminating and obsessing over yourself) for other people."
Anonymous is right -- it's not just about me. But my blog is. This is where I tell my stories & am the first to admit that dating brings out my Inner Brat.
What I think & struggle with (including swings between shame & grandiosity) -- which is what you read -- is not necessarily how I act.
But then you might not know that given that as Anonymous, I don't know if I know you.
& you know, because I've been cyber-dumped & will not be mean to someone who had enough niceness to hook me, I'll be mean to you, Anonymous. As far as I know -- but then I can't know, can I? -- you have not had any niceness with which to hook my empathy, compassion, interest, & services. So, Anonymous: piss the fuck off.

WELL SAID, FRAN!!!
Sanctimonious twit doesn't get blogging, obviously...
Glad you're back, I've missed your posts.
Maggie
I loved your False Romance post. I'm proud of you for getting out there. And I am really proud of you for seeing your good points and claiming them.
Obviously, I'm on board with the Anti - Anonymous movement. What a dufus.
LOL--literally.
LMAO.
As far as I'm concerned, blogs are completely the realm of their writer. You don't like it, don't read it. That simple.
I had to stop allowing anonymous comments because of the crap I was getting -- more spam in my case than mean comments.
I think that your dating experiment WAS all about you, though. It seems like you wanted to put yourself out there just to remind yourself that you're still attractive -- so your experiment got the desired result and now you can decide where to go from there.
P.S. Just because you have a hot and heavy romance going with your book doesn't mean you can't flirt a little, right? As long as you don't forget you're committed? :)
Looks like I'm going to have to give myself a name--I don't want to get mistaken for the other Anonymous. (I'm the one who actually posted the anonymous, but I hope more supportive posts a while back). So, is this person is castigating you for being self-centred, etc., why is s/he reading your blog, hmmm?
Hi Frances,
I'm one of your biggest fans. Sorry to see that someone has been such a pompous ass to you on here. I guess that's what putting yourself "out there" in a blog will get you, though. Like they say, "there's one in every crowd."
I'm not sure how to get a name on here, but just wanted to give you my support. Most things 'net related confuse me at one time or another, lol.
Sincerely,
Quietmadness
Good heavens, a woman has to have a heart of iron to survive internet dating. No wait, I guess that works with face to face dating also doesn't it? Hang in there friend, Mr. Right is just biding his time for the perfect moment.
Love the red photos -- hope they are cheering you up.
