Internet Dating... a follow up

So previously I mentioned how internet dating and I are not friends. I thought this required a follow-up.

For all of you who are wondering, we are still not friends. So much so that I requested to terminate our relationship. I figured it would be best for both of us if we went our separate ways. He was upset (because I now refer to the entire website as an him), and I know it's because I'm so awesome! But I wasn't doing either of us any favors. I wasn't interested in anyone he brought me, anyone he paraded across my computer screen. I rarely replied to messages. At one point I told a guy I'm much better in person, I grow on people to which he compared me to herpes! HERPES!

It seemed if I wasn't desperately searching for a life partner or for a one night stand then it wasn't for me. Don't get me wrong there are a tonne of nice people on there, normal people and I know a few people who have met wonderful people on dating sites. However right now it's not my cup of tea and I don't have the patience or the time to wade through to find my right one.

So we sat down and I told him "it's not you, it's me". He cried, there was a little tear. I told him I may be back but not to wait for me. I'm going to sit the next little while out. Date myself for a while.

Eat Pray Love

Ok so here is the first book I've completed in the last while (other than the twilight series... no judgement please. lol)

I have now read the book and watched the movie. The movie is a good watch though don't expect anything profound, it's your regular hollywood entertainment.

The book however is another story. It took me forever to get through because she rambles... ALOT. That being said though she makes some very valid points. So much so that I ripped two pages out to carry with me.. TWO whole pages. And for me this is a huge deal. A little part of me cried as I tore out page one, I will mark up my books, write notes in them, but never, NEVER rip one out. If a cover gets torn I get upset and here I am ripping actual pages out.

Over all I highly recommend the book for anyone going through a breakup or divorce but I strongly believe that everyone will take different things out of it. Be forewarned though if you are not into great detailed explanation of the history of places or things be prepared to skim a lot of the book. But buried in all the detail and description are some great insights. I personally walked away with a new perspective on a soul mate as well as kind of a definition of how I perceive my partners.

For those of you that have read the book (not the movie because I personally didn't receive anything from the movie) I'd be interested in knowing what you got out of it, as well any suggestions on what I should read next?
