Not my poem, but its an annual tradition for me:

VALENTINE'S POEM 4 THE BITTER


Hearts and roses and kisses galore...
What the hell is all that shit for?
People get mushy and start acting queer
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's...

Matched with someone on Tinder, chatted a bit with her (maybe a week). Yay, it can look good, we have some things in common.

Today she ghosted me. Which might upset me, except that's how this entire attempt at dating has gone for me for the past couple of decades. And people wonder why I have given up basically.

Did you see a hallucination?
hellstorm:
no hallucinations...but its been the trend for on-line dating (and real life dating) for me for years now...talked to 1 person on the phone who ghosted me.  saw one in person once and she ghosted me the next day.  oh well, such is life.  even quit one site (Match.com) and when asked why, simply stated "I've been a member for several years now with nothing."

So after several years of trying the on-line dating thing (since I don't like bars), such as Tinder, Bumble, and Match...I've met one person in person, and she ghosted me the next day.

Its been 5+ years....and I haven't had anyone show an interest in me since 2005.

I'm wondering...should I just delete the profiles and give up on the entire idea of ever dating...

Don't give up! You'll definitely find someone! Tinder isn't that bad lately actually i use it from time to time but mostly to find girls 🥴

2 matches on Tinder...how long until I get ghosted?

And I'm pretty sure at least one is a bot....

Oh no 🙈

@kalistuh, I'm actually quite used to it now, so it doesn't phase me much.

ghosted yet again....by someone who liked my profile after I liked hers.....with nothing from her.

seriously at the point of thinking of just deleting all on-line dating profiles I have and just giving up. not worth the time to click on anything, knowing it will go nowhere.

Well, today was interesting...driving down the expressway, in a construction zone. I was able to merge over and hit a lane shift where people were slowing down to a ridiculous degree. 2 cars ahead of me stops suddenly...so the car ahead of them stopped, so I slammed on my brakes.

And rear ended the car ahead of me. Since I have a Jetta and the...

A couple of weeks ago, a co-worker went to fix me up with someone she felt would be a good match (an acquaintance of hers)....who ended up ghosting me after about 5 days of messaging back and forth.

Then matched with someone on one of those on-line dating sites (that seem to work almost never for me)....chatted a few times and now it seems she...

co-worker went to fix me up with an acquaintance of hers she thought would be a good match.

its been a week since I last texted her with no response.

think I can call this another ghosting?

Another match on one of those on-line dating BS websites....and another ghosting without a single word said.

So 5+ years trying multiple dating websites, since I don't like bars and I work from home now (and my job was not one that encouraged dating).....in these 5 years I've had one match where we actually talked and met in person.

She ghosted me the next day....

So which is worse....getting ghosted or someone who replied with such short answers, you wonder if she's even bothering?

Wow...its been a long time since I work anything here...hmm, what's new?

New TV and Entertainment center. Plus framed up some prints I got for Lacuna Coil and their Dark Metal cover of Batman: Dark Metal.

and was given my great-uncle's purple heart, bronze star, and the picture of his gravesite in Italy (he was killed in World War II).....time to get it framed up...
