Glutton for Punishment?

I'm seriously considering joining Match again.  I know, you probably think I'm insane, delusional, or any other negative adjective of your choice.  But I promise you, there is a reason for my rational. 

Here is my logic:

1. I originally thought that when I got off of Match, I would meet guys at Starbucks, in my building or on the street cornor, none of which have happened in the last 2+ months. The closest thing that happened was meeting a guy at a friends boyfriend's birthday party and texting for approximately 24 hours and never seeing each other or speaking again....If I was 12, this would be perfectly acceptable, however I am 25 and that's not normal.

2. I have been out on two occations, with two seperate groups of people where my friends have given my number to a waiter and told him to call me....It's nice to know that my friends and family think I'm a 'catch' and are trying to help me out...but this isn't the movies and the waiters never call....and to be honest with you, I can't blame them.  They would look CRAZY if they actually called.

3.  I am approaching this with a new outlook...I have no expectations.  I am going to date and have fun and just see where this experience leads me.  I am also going to have my ex boyfriend/bff help me with my profile.  I think part of the problem from last time was having females look at and critique my profile...I think I need a guys point of view.  I also think that I dated my ex for so long, that maybe if he helps me with the profile and tells me what he would rather see, I'm more likely to meet someone I'm compatible with (ie with similar qualities to him). 

Now...If  I could just think of a new tagline..."You miss all the best things if you keep your eyes shut" by Dr. Seuss obviosuly wasn't getting me normal men, but I should've realized that no normal guys know Dr. Seuss quotes...see I'm learning already!!
