Some success, but mostly failures. But I don't regret any of it. Even if all it is doing is giving me a reason to put on a dress and pay slightly more attention to my comb, I still think it's worth it. You've only been on two dates. No shit you haven't had much luck. Get out there! (I promise this isn't completely selfishly motived, you know: Steve + Bad Date = Hilarity for readers. Pinky swear!)

I would recommend saving yourself the money and going with free sites. Actually, I absolutely recommend you drop EHarmony - that's a fucking awful site if you have any standards for looks (because yeah, we all admit it's important). You'll have better luck if you can send unlimited creepy emails and pokes or kisses or whateverthefuck they have on Match. Throw out a bunch of lines and someone is bound to bite, right?

Your writing is hilarious, you should continue with your online dating. I don't think you're a jerk. That is great advise, I will start high five-ing at the end of dates.

Never trust a myspace pic. Women are very devious with how they portray themselves through pictures. Steve, i’ve been there, and done that. Never trust a myspace pic.

Because I believe I went out on a date with him. And I think their scary twin connection must be what spawned my deja vu as I read through this. Picture and reality? Check. Clever banter and conversation over IM and phone and then total lack of such in person? Check. (I want those damn exclamation points back!) When said twin DID talk, it was about his unhappiness with his job and life in general? Check. Ah, but then the capper (or three, really.) We went to a friend's house for a get together after dinner. Nice, safe get-to-know-type event. 1. On the way, he played his collection of songs, from his iPod (which was ensconced in a hand-crocheted, and yes crocheted by him, iPod "sling",) of songs about butts. Don't get me wrong, I will laugh and sing along to Baby Got Back. I can't help it. But, they were ALL about asses, and I don't mean jackasses, which would have been more appropriate. 2. Once we got to our destination, he pulls a giant Mountain Dew bottle out of his pocket. My friend and I both offered him a glass of ice to go with this. He said, "No, I don't drink." ?!? Not even the non-alcoholic soda you brought with you? No wonder that my friend's loves-everyone-big doofy Boxer dog followed him around for the rest of the night, just staring at him. 3. After the awkward and uncomfortable, we arrive back at my vehicle, so I can thankfully go home. I ducked the attempted kiss when I dropped my keys, because I could NOT stop thinking about how the dog, who likes everyone, stared him down all night. And I like kissing. Text as I was driving home telling me what a great night it had been and how much he couldn't wait to do it again? Check. Sigh, Single Steve.

You mentioned that you drive an infiniti G35. Nice car, but too subtle. Go for something loud, proud, and cheap. It shows you don't spend everything on a car.
