Hi, I'm Derek and I've devoted a large part of my life to finding that someone special. Unfortunately, I found that it's not that easy. I have tried to meet women on the street, at work, at school, and even on the internet. Guess what? No luck yet. I guess that's why Dating Site Direct has me on here. I look at dating like going to a job interview. You have to put on your best outfit, act, and hope that you get a second opportunity. Sometimes I don't get that second chance and the search continues. A bit about myself: I am 35 and work in middle management. I've been told that I'm attractive with a great sense of humor. I live on the West coast in a bachelor pad (studio apartment with a futon, beer in the fridge, and some ramen noodles for dinner). I was raised in a good household and I have an appreciation for the finer things in life. Unfortunately, I have had problems finding someone with similar tastes and feel isolated. Working in middle management does not afford me the opportunity to mingle with high society/cougars (I can't even afford caviar let alone a can of sardines...lol) Anyway, here is a small peep into my dating life:
It's funny how corporations, like the one I work at, have set up an anonymous tip line to report suspicious behavior in the workplace. It is there for our protection. What is even funnier is how people use it as an equalizer tool. There is this attractive woman at work who I've thought about asking out, but today she (with a devious smile on her face) was walking around talking about reporting two other guys to the “tip line†for being too friendly. I can see how this line could be of some use if someone were being harassed or to report theft but c'mon. I can just imagine what will happen if she calls. Two guys in suits (with earphones in place) will show up in a black sedan and interrogate the poor souls for 3 hours with a sock full of oranges. That's a double shot of rejection for ya...lol I guess the old saying about how you shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink holds true. I was watching an episode of Cheaters on T.V. Last weekend when that type of situation emerged. A woman was dating her boss and the husband put Joey Greco on the case. Needles to say, she ended up leaving the company after the whole debacle.
I read that supermarkets are a great place to meet people. In fact, several years ago, a local supermarket in my area tried to capitalize on this idea by hosting a singles night on Friday. This really rubbed salt into the wounds of being single. Can you imagine walking down the potato chip isle looking for a date on a Friday night? I'm sure all the men avoided the tampon isle...lol What they should have had is some sort of voice over the PA system to let you know who is shopping like, Hello shoppers, we have a single brunet on isle 3. She stands at 5'6, has what appears to be full C cups, and is buying all natural products. Or, Hello shoppers, on isle 12 we have a single male, around 32, with long Fabio-like hair, straight teeth, and no beer gut. Can you imagine! So, last night I was doing some grocery shopping and came to the realization that if you want to meet someone at the market, then location and time are really important. If you want to meet a lady with a few bucks, then travel to the more affluent part of town and shop in the early evening. If you want to meet a gangster girl who has no job, well go to a market in “the hood†anytime of the day since most of them don't work. I digress. When I was in the store late last night, I missed the crowd, but I did meet a very nice lady who works there. She was ringing up my items and said, one box of Fruit Loops, one Salisbury Steak dinner, one orange, etc.. You have one of everything. Are you single? I answered yes, and then asked her if she wanted to have drinks this Friday. Check back to see how it went.
