As I walked down to the valley behind my house one sunny fourth of July last year, I was looking in amazement at the half dead trees, and the weeds that some people believe to be flowers, and smelling the water in the creek (that I swear comes from the sewers), when a bird pooed on my head. I thought “oh well” just another ordinary day. As I walked along, I bumped into a acquaintance of mine that I will call Stinky and please don't ask why I call him that, I think it is obvious. As we walked, I told him about the unfortunate incident with the bird, and he replied “take me to the tree that you were walking under, its good luck”. If I had thought for one minute that it was good luck I'd be rolling in it, (as you may have figured Stinky really doesn’t have much of a social life, but then again, neither do I).
Our biggest problem is chatting with women. Stinky can usually mumble a couple of sentences, then he has to get lost. I’m a little more confident since I work with mostly women anyway. I can usually start a conversation with them before I start to sweat and have my knees buckle under me, then I have to politely excuse myself.
Stinky feels that women's standards are too high when it comes to dating, however, I disagree. I really don't believe for a minute the women suggesting that he have a shower before picking her up is classified as “high standard”. Stinky might be the least washed fellow I know, but he is one of the nicest (nicest not brightest). However, he has been known to come up with amazing idea's that make a lot of sense, but I'm not sure about this one. “We will join a Dating Site” he yelled out. I said before sometimes he comes up with decent idea's but this wasn't one of those times. He proceeded to explain that a friend at work gave him the idea(some friend). “Is this the same friend that leaves deodorant and body wash in your locker”? I asked. “It sure is! He's a very thoughtful person,” (is he for real). Stinky said “My friend met a wonderful women on a dating site,” (what women?? the guy he's talking about is gay!) “Why would your gay friend use a dating site to meet women?” I asked, “I think your getting in over your head”. In the end, and after weeks of avoiding Stinky and his not so bright idea, I finally decided to give in just to keep the peace.
As I tried to sleep that night, all I could think about was the last date I had, which had not ended under the best of circumstances. I’m sure the woman I'll call “hungry”, hadn’t eaten in a week prior to our date and she must have thought I had a big trust fund or something! After she had consumed several hors d'œuvres, as well as several other side dishes, expensive wine and a double order of lobster, I checked the balance on my credit card, then to my horror she demanded we order desert! “Desert!?” I quickly reminded her that this was not an all you can eat buffet, she then jumped up called me things I dare not repeat and made her way to the door. Like the desperate person I am, I ran after her and asked if she would like to get together with me again, at which time she hit me with her hand bag (I guess that meant no!). So I went back to the table and sat by myself looking at the bill she had racked up and wondered if I would be able to get some overtime at work next week to pay for it.
I started to have a lot of doubts about joining a dating site, but since my best friend was counting on it (and knowing he would do anything for me), I decided to go through with it. It turned out to be the best thing we had ever done. Stinky and I both joined a Dating Site, and it wasn’t long before we had responses from some beautiful ladies. We were both very nervous and excited to think that we might no longer have to make love to our hand. Stinky asked me “what should I do to get ready?”I said “just get in the shower and don't forget to turn the water on, use that bar of soap (you can't take it with you) and wash your troubles away”, (as well as the dirt and body odor of course).We double dated that evening to support each other, and we had an amazing time. We ate, had some drinks, and danced the night away. Stinky took me aside and confided in me, that even though he had just met this women, he knew this was the one. I gave him a brotherly hug, and said “follow your heart,” and he did. She seemed to take to him as well, surprisingly!
Well I don't call him Stinky anymore, (no one does now that he has learned basic hygiene). He is and always will be, my best friend. Devon is still with the soul mate that he met on that dating site. This was several years ago and after dating for some time, they got married. They had one child and are expecting another any time now. As for myself, it took a little longer, but I finally found the love of my life, and we are expecting our first child soon. Life is terrific and it keeps getting better!
Its true what they say, there's somebody for everyone. All you have to do is look in the right place and you'll find them. In many cases, it takes a nudge from someone who cares about you to get you going in the right direction . Life is too short and precious to spend it by yourself, wondering what it would be like to have someone to share it with. So if you want to be happy then take my advice, and get off your butt and go for it.
Hey, if Stinky and I can do it, so can you! There are so many dating sites out there it is easy to get lost, or waste you time on insignificant ones, but I'll give you a tip, this is the link that Stinky and I went to to find the best sites to join and in our opinion its the best place to find dating sites. So if you are tired of being all alone and want someone to be with for the rest of your life well just follow this link, it will be the best move you ever make.
