hope for the single teacher?

Ugh, I had the WEIRDEST dream last night, and I'm not even going to get into it. But if made me think about my social life. I don't really have one because I'm working just about all the time.

I have no clue how to meet anyone in the area because it feels as if everyone I know is married. So maybe over xmas break or just before ill give the online thing a try. If anyone knows decent sites, let me know. Because I'm NOT doing any speed dating. I did consider "Its just Lunch" ... but i dont think i could actually MAKE the lunch.

...

Okay, seriously, I just went on the website. I signed up, soooo we'll see what happens! They do drinks after work if scheduling is a nightmare. We'll see, I say!

My friend I used to work with at eville had the same deal--most everyone we work with as teachers are married--weird, right?

I think she's on match.com and she goes out salsa dancing a lot to meet new people!

It IS weird! I'm going to a Halloween party where the hostess has requested people bring an opposite-sex friend ... but I don't expect much to come from that, to be honest.

My coop met her husband on match.com! And someone I used to go to church with back in the day met her husband on eharmony. I dunno. :)

I hear you. I have the same problem.

I looked into It's Just Lunch. It is SUPER expensive. Like $1700 expensive. $1200 if you catch them on a "sale." Too rich for my blood. It does sound like a good program and one of my best friends met her husband through it. She's a teacher too and they let you do drinks after work, dinner (which they don't advise), and brunch or lunch on the weekends.

Good luck!

$1700?! Whoa, no wonder they don't post their price on the website....

dude, who is this teacher friend who could AFFORD IJL? :)

I'll keep you guys posted when there's something to post ;)

I got a mailing from IJL today. Hey, I can get $200 off premier membership!

It's ridiculous that they even NEED a coupon for that amount of money.

I have no time for a love life right now. I'll wait until the summer to try for one.
