Rejected by E-Harmony

The bar scene is a meat market Don’t believe I belong in a display case! On my computer screen, an ad says “Take a chance!” But I got rejected by E-Harmony! “People rejected by E-Harmony welcome here!” A profile written, a dare to men Who want a woman not a model thin “Here I am, take a chance!” He joined up and paid the fee Just to send his phone number to me His blue eyes looked at me from the screen Saying, I’m taking a chance! A phone call and a long chat Another call later on that night And another and another and another He says he’s glad he took a chance. I talk and listen and make a decision too His voice sounds calm and loving in my ear A tingling trills through my heart and body Because I, too, have decided to take a chance.

Good luck! I never had any online (but then consider where I live)I'd be better off trying to get a date with a bear!

Been there and it's fun, just stay safe and always let someone know where you are. Good luck. Keep us in the loop and keep the journal. At this age we know what we don't want. Lady J

Life truly does consist of many chances, and sometimes, they are very good. I hope this is a very good one.

Ann,

Just be careful: lots of nutz out there. I've met many wonderful people online, thanks to AuthorsDen and other sites, but am not willing to be more than friends. Right now, anyway: glad it's working out for you. Stay safe, 'k? Well done, the excitement of meeting someone special is palpable in your words of happiness!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Interesting service to meet other, but to meet someone in person is always the better way, be very careful....

Be safe,

You don't take a chance, you can't possibly win. A solid piece of advice for life, in general.

I hope you hit the jackpot,

You go girl, Ann you deserve all the happiness that is out there to get. We do put our hearts and sometimes our lifes happinness on the line in search of love. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but we will never know unless we try. If he is a smart man and you like him...he will know how great you are.

Ann, I enjoyed this very optomistic poem. If it is based on truth, then I wish you the best with this. It's usually better to take that chance when it is offered than to wish you had when it is too late.
