Being single isn’t easy- we all know that.  And the dating advice plastered all over your homepage doesn’t help. It always seems to scream, to me at least, “You’re still single!”  However, I recently came across an article that really helped me.  Quite possibly the best dating advice that I’d ever gotten!  In a nutshell, the author said, to rid yourself of all the bad dates and Karma that follow you around and allow yourself to be found.  Cleanse yourself of the I-date-online-because-I’m-just-looking-for-something-to-do-odor and discover a new fragrance! 

So that’s what I did.  Wednesday morning I deleted all my online dating profiles.  I had been thinking about doing it for a while, but didn’t want to let them go.  What would I do with the free hours in my day without the ability to click on the “Who’s Viewed Me” tab? I’d be forced to find something else to do. 

Then it came to me.  Yes, find something else to do!  Do what you love and love will find you, because after all, as women- we are most attractive when we’re comfortable and confident.  Why couldn’t I be found at the book store, in a cooking class, my local volunteer opportunity, at the gym or on a run meet-up?  What was stopping me from being successful meeting people the “Normal” way?  Could it be the odor I was carrying around from before?

 It’s only been a couple days, but I feel better.  No more obsessing over why he viewed me but didn’t write. Not only have I taken up cooking again, but I’m spending more time doing the things that make me happy.  My mind and heart are free to do everything I loved before I became so pre-occupied with the dot come dating world.
