Why is this so?

I have noticed a rather concerning pattern. It goes something like this....

• Meet new 'online' date prospect in pub for a drink
  

• Realise in an instant date is far from potential H
  

• Spend a couple of hours feigning interest in bloke whom I'll likely never see again

• Notice during couple of hours, plethora of attractive, eligible looking men in same pub, who I can not approach due to 'on first date' status

Of course when I go out with my single gal pals all hot single men in Sydney opt to stay home! So, I ask you why IS this so?

Was moaning re this situation over breakfast today with some men 'sorted' friends. Followed up by fact that dating agency is now a consideration. Actually was explaining I am feeling indecisive re financial priorities (dating agency vs flat screen TV, an o/s holiday or a new mac?).

They seem to think I don't go to pubs enough and this is part of the reason I'm not meeting the right men. According to them, normal decent men go to pubs, especially when there's a big game to watch and this is behaviour I should be thoroughly leveraging before dating agency 'investment' comes even close to consideration. So no more hot and trendy bars then?

As a result I've decided to implement a short term test strategy. I am going to devise a calendar of pub visits over the next four weeks putting my mates on rotation (you might want to screen me if you don't wanna go to the pub). At the end of the four weeks I will reconsider the dating agency thing. In the meantime, I am free to invest in a big ticket item. Now just need to figure out which one!

BTW, have not heard from Harvard for two weeks. Obviously he is getting more action than I am right now - just elsewhere! It's OK, my heart is in tact, just my loins are missing out, good thing they don't have feelings.

ps just in case you have figured it out by now, the Karate Kid was more wax off than wax on.
