No stone unturned

There is a great movie about dating. It is called "Must Love Dogs". It is about a woman (Diane Lane) who is getting back in the saddle and looking for Mr. Right. Her sisters put her on an internet dating site, where she ends up going out on a date. Strangely enough the guy who she is meeting turns out to be her father. She is severely disappointed and ready to give up when she meets a very nice guy. After she meets the guy, she starts dating him and really likes him. He seems to really like him. She likes him so much that she sleeps with him. After that, she catches him with another woman and becomes very discouraged. She is frustrated with the whole process until she realizes the guy that she overlooked. Most women can identify with her struggle and it really hits home. It can be a very difficult process to weed through the good looking frogs that turn out to be pigs. It can be extremely frustrating too, because men seem so oblivious to what we are truly looking for in them. I think most times, telling the truth would get them a lot farther than just telling us what they think we want to hear. The lies and the run around is what makes it a headache. Anyhow, I thought about that movie when I opened my online dating account. I told myself that I was leaving no stone unturned, but I also began to wonder if this was the perfect platform for liars and bullshitters. Oh well, I am just proceeding with caution. I am shielding my heart and doing my thing. I want to have fun (not sex) but not too much without knowing who I am dealing with. If I don't find mr. right, I am sure going to have fun with mr. right now!
