How it all started

December of 2007 my college roommate did our normal 'girls night in' routine... ordered Chinese, bought our own bottles of wine and got ready to watch movies. However, this night was not going to be the same as all the others... this was the last time we would be eating Chinese, drinking wine, and were able to say we were college students. This December I was graduating...heading home...entering the real world. I did not have a job lined up, but I knew I would be going back to the Lehigh Valley to see my old friends, family and live with my parents. I was 23, and didn't have a care in the world... I was a happy independent single woman and not looking to commit to anything but a full-time job.

Then it happened as the wine bottles emptied and the chick flicks started getting to us my roommate, Miss 'I have a great idea'... of course, had a great idea. She was going to sign me up on a dating site whether I liked it or not. She said, "it was a step of getting back into the real world"...I just saw it as desperate. WHO in their right mind would join a site to meet guys they didn't know just to meet them and maybe... possibly start a relationship?! It is just a disaster WAITING to happen.

Well... I did it. I joined. I dated. I fell in love... in lust and into the arms of complete idiots. And I'm so addicted... these are the chronicles of a dating site junkie.
