About 1 ½ years ago, I joined Myspace. I joined because my 17 year old daughter had joined and it seemed a way to keep tabs on her. I filled out my profile and violla! I was ready to make friends. I did a search and realized that Myspace was being used as a dating tool much like online dating/personals sites. What was more, there were so many men in my area! I thought I'd found a gold mine! In my previous experience, there weren't many men in my geographical area. Myspace seemed like a windfall! Woohoo! I started adding friends. Male friends, mostly younger, just the kind I liked!

A few months went by. Out of boredom I was doing yet another search and found a very, very hot man about 1 ½ hours away. I sent off my friend request and was thrilled when he accepted. It was even more thrilling when we began to talk on IM on a daily basis. A few conversations and we set up our first date. It was awesome! He was awesome! For about a week. Then I drove to see him one Monday evening. Another great evening I thought. He even called me on my way home to make weekend plans. Next morning I got a "Dear Lisa" email from him and had been deleted from his friends list. WTF???

Next, a hot Marine recruiter who, after 2 fabulous dates, decided he couldn't stand being so far away from his daughter who lives with her mom in California. He told his CO he wanted out. That was in May. He was here until December. I never saw him again.

After that, the EUA (emotionally unavailable) recently divorced guy who didn't want a relationship but damn sure enjoyed the benefits it brought with it. Right up until he left me for a bisexual wiccan 5 days after my brother's funeral in August.

Recently there was the hotcowboy who got so freaked out during our first date that he left me at a table with his buddies while he wandered around the bar aimlessly. Then the villageidiot who I've been out with twice. He emails about once a week to see if I'm still alive & interested. Then poofs into thin air for another week or so.

And people are finding love here? How? Anyone out there know the secret? Maybe they're on another MySpace. You know, the one where you are not demoted on the friend's list every time your friend gets a new friend. The one where they're not just hanging out with you until a 'better' friend comes along. That MySpace. Love on MySpace? I think not so much.

Love to hear your MySpace experiences. Leave a comment and share :)

i know, i know...i said i wasn't going to do it anymore but damned if i didn't...

had a date with a myspacer just last night...let's just say it was the most annoying date ever...

half decent was about all it was...it started out well enough right up until i opened my damn mouth and invited him out to play pool with K and i...K then got really stupid and canceled...newguy was unfortunately was the 'i become annoying as hell when i drink' type...by the end of the damn thing, he was trying to eat my ear (ewww) and begging me to let him sleep on my couch...ummm, let me think...NO!

oh and did i mention...guess who showed up at the bar while newguy was in the men's room? uh huh that's right...china, of course...i swear to god, he's everywhere!!!

"myspace was truly the medium of how i am now involed with M.
she is in my room sleeping.
the internet if not abused can be that provider, but i went through so many losers and liars and drama queens in that process though."
