		<title>Misadventures of Online Dating: She Hulk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Back online to &#8216;put myself out&#8217; there (have not resorted to praying quite yet), I received a message on Nerve today to which I&#8217;m not quite sure how to respond.  31-yr old Brooklyn White Male sent me back my own profile picture after he photoshopped me to look green.  He turned me into the She-Hulk.

		<title>Sci Fi Babe Alert!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In recent months my inner 13-year old nerdy boy avatar has manifested himself &#8211; at the encouragement of my last gentleman caller.   Our short-lived romance blossomed over discussions of graphic novels, science fiction, anime, manga, DC vs. Marvel heroes, and old school computer games.  Unfortunately things didn&#8217;t work out between us (add [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minddagap.wordpress.com&blog=1561499&post=36&subd=minddagap&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Still Reminding Myself: Don&#8217;t Settle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
One week before my 31st birthday.
Yesterday my mom requested that I take the occupation of finding a husband more seriously.   I pointed out that NOBODY wants me to find Mr. Right more than I do.  She suggested I pray – that may help.
After sleeping a total of three hours last night, I woke up anxious [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minddagap.wordpress.com&blog=1561499&post=26&subd=minddagap&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Tonight I revel in my comfy (ugly) robe with chilled soy milk and gooey brownies.  &#8220;Truth or Dare&#8221; is on Fuse.  Lovely.

		<title>Karma Rocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a rough love life. Loved hard, been hurt even harder.  However, despite all the wrongs men have done to me, I&#8217;ve maintained a level of decency and goodness.  I&#8217;ve accepted rejection and never behaved psycho-ex-girlfriendy. I&#8217;ve been one of the lucky girls who&#8217;s had that college-ex (you know, the one that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minddagap.wordpress.com&blog=1561499&post=21&subd=minddagap&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Strangely enough, I find that statement encouraging.   Perhaps the man who will one day make my life partner/father of my children/master of my grill will not just settle into a relationship with me, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=minddagap.wordpress.com&blog=1561499&post=15&subd=minddagap&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve put her advice to use &#8211; and it has worked, ladies (wink, wink).
