My first post...(exhale) here goes

When I left my husband in March, I had no idea what dating was going to be like.  I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I've always tried to have a positive outlook on things and this was going to be no exception.  I've never written anything more than an email or a note on a birthday card, so please try to stick it out with me and my ridiculousness and I'll promise to keep it honest.  So...what does a newly separated, Jewish woman do in the Northshore?  Exactly, I joined J-date...and apparently my ex-mother-in-law had the same idea for her son because there was his profile staring me in the face on my computer screen...Oy vey.  Being Jewish never made any difference to me in dating, but I kept hearing my mother's voice in my head, "You know...your cousin, Heather met her husband on J-date..."  While I'm filling out my profile and trying to get my former husband's picture out of my mind from the whole process I get an instant message:
(man) Tuna?
(me) I beg your pardon?  Mind you, I've been on J-date for a total of 5 seconds
(man) Tuna.  Do you like tuna?
(me) I guess it depends on how it's prepared.
(man) on crackers
(me) what?
(man) brb
Yes!  This is what I've signed up for.  What is he doing?  Going to get me tuna on a cracker?  Is that your opening line?  Tuna? 
The next day I had a few guys ask me right off the bat if I had a web cam, if I had naked pictures of myself I would send them, or if I wanted to see them naked.  Yeah, no.  No thank you.  I began to think maybe I should convert and join a convent.  I'd seen Sound Of Music a lot as a child.  I liked singing.  But I kept at it.  There's someone out there for me.  I'm just starting to kiss the frogs.  If I don't laugh about these things, I'll definitely cry because they are just so crazy.  I am starting this blog because of online and my adult dating life.  I've had quite an experience in the last 11 months.  I hope you as a reader will find it as entertaining. 
If there is one thing, though, that I can say that I am really very good at, it's finding music to suit the mood for the read.  If I had to pick one for tonight's, I would choose, "Little Wing," by Stevie Ray Vaughn.  That is how my body is feeling right now.  I am wishing you all a blessed evening.  Stay warm and safe with all this snow. Love, R
