Internet Singles Dating Tag Here we are, sitting in our rock 'n' roll chairs, Separated by much more than a dare. The truth is, we are here because we care, Browsing pictures and profiles, splitting hairs, Acquiescently searching, are you there? Animated faces from fear to Grin 'n' Bear, Mocking, scrolling, stoping, quietly we stare. With Shuffling, fidgeting feet, Shifting in our seat, Heads nod, shake and bob, Makes you want to sob. The Venusian - She wants no part of any shell cons. It makes no difference what the address of the dot.com, Keeping watch on all the Toms, Shawns and Robs, Makes her knees hobnob. Eyes crossing, mind spinning, Just take the bottle and spinner. If only she could pick a winner. Is he ready to tie the knot? That one has even got a yacht! To click or not to click? Please don't get sick. Will he answer or ignore? Well, isn't he a bore. I can't believe he said that ... the jerk! He probably doesn't even work. And look at the top of that one shining, The glare is blinding! Oh my ( raised eyebrows ), I can't look at that. Tell me, that has got to be a hat! Wow! It's time for me to take a break, Might as well bake a cake. Time to ante up for the Martian - He, Now it's his turn in the barrow to see. Sometimes it feels like a daze, Caught in this ISDT haze. Who could ever get out of this maze? Too many faces, scrambled words and ( Her ) rules, Already dictating and we haven't even talked tools. Give me a break, yeah she's easy on the eye, OK, sizzling, steamy, delicious apple pie, But there are far too many fish in the sea, For a grown man to sit and pee. But what I wouldn't give to see the little tease and me, Straighten up! Men have to always be steadfast, And Remember to never mention her need for Slimfast. Gee - whiz, that one thinks she's hot stuff, My quarter says more than a little rough. Scroll and click. Would you look at that pic? Man, she ain't no pick. Wow! She's Hot! She's not! Top |

Terry, this made me smile as your words so often do. Internet date sites.....no way. Very much, prefer the real thing to what those sites might bring!! |

Donna, I wrote this piece a few years ago, dedicating it to all those, who are, or, that have ever been a member of an internet singles dating club. Of course, the intent was to hopefully get a smile or two. They can be quite the experience.  Thank you for the comments! |

Though it's a good saying that we should never judge a book by it's cover, I think 'buyers beware' is best suited for the internet singles scene. As most know here, my son met his wife in a chat room and they've been happily married for several years and have 2 beautiful kids. I'd like to meet my soulmate on the internet, I'm looking for Mr. Goodbar but all I get is Milk Duds.... |

Julie... feel free to share. Poet deVine, I am still laughing at this: "I'm looking for Mr. Goodbar but all I get is Milk Duds...." As singles, this piece deals with one of the most serious issues in our lives, but sometimes you just simply have to break down laughing at the absurdness of it all. |
