The end of an era

Saturday will mark the end of an era for me--the era of trying out a certain, heavily advertised singles web-site for the last few months.

Earlier this year, they had a free weekend, so I set it up and tried it out. But I didn't feel compelled really to actually pony up any cash of my own to continue the service.

Fast forward a month or so and I got an offer I couldn't refuse--three months for the price of one. I decided I'd take the plunge, become a paid up member and see what happened.

Three months later and not much.

The frustrating thing is one of the reasons to close out a potential match is "Other." I get this one a lot--that is when they respond. And you know, I'd rather you just be straight up and tell me you don't find me attractive them throw me into the "Other" category. At least that way I know.....ya know?

So, the three months ends Saturday...and I don't see any compelling reason to renew. There are one or two that we're almost in the final stages of communication, but I'm not sure I will part with sixty bucks on the off-chance they write back.

Oh well...better to have loved and yada, yada, yada.
