I know some people who are single but go a year without a date, just because. Then I know people who ended something with one person, then join a few dating sites and try to jam pack as many dates in their week as they can. What's up with that? Are they just totally unpicky or what?

I don't know. I think that some people feel like if they're not dating a different person every other day then they're not trying. But then right or wrong, some people feel that there is a stigma to not having dated in a year or longer.

Somebody I know left her husband of many years without any warning about 2 weeks ago. Today I was snooping on a dating site and the dude was already there! With their kid in the picture to boot!

Some move on real fast...

Some people figure upping their numbers ups their odds of meeting someone interesting...the whole "gotta kiss a lot of frogs..." principle.

I don't get this approach at all. I want to kiss as few frogs as possible. If I know I'm not attracted to somebody and I can see we have nothing in common, wth would I want to meet him...?!

It's possible that some people don't know if they're attracted to somebody until they meet them, and don't know how much they have in common until they spend time with them.

And, really, you look kind of silly when you wail, "There's just nobody OUT there!!!!" when, if somebody then asks you how many guys (or whoever) you've gone out with, you say, "Uh....two."
