I was chatting with someone about Christmas gifts and they informed me they were considering buying me a membership to an online dating site but didn't know which one. I told them please not because I am done completely with online dating. First off, I am hung up on taco man and am still hoping he comes around because I really do think he's interested but has issues now. I don't think it would be right looking for other men online knowing I'd likely dump them if he comes around anyway. Second, in the event he doesn't come around I'm not interested in dating at all. I'm burnt out from all of this. Third, last time I did online I failed and the guys I liked didn't like me and I didn't like them. I really have a low opinion of men on dating sites now because of before. Way too many are delusional, misogynist and plain mean. I am not interested in going through all of that again to have men tell me I am too old (though we are the same age), or have men I have no interest in (dads, older men, etc)pursue me then get mad because I reject them. Not to mention I am too secular for the religious sites and too religious for the secular sites.
How do I tell my relative not to bother with this?

Oh, honey-- aw-kward.
But I think you told them. Online dating is not for everyone. Kinda odd that that was on the gift list.

Just tell them to give you the cash you'll do it yourself, then spend it on a trip to Hawaii. You need a holiday.
Re Taco Boy -
BUT.
Very important word that.
It means what you are saying is the opposite of what you are saying. For example -
I went to wash my hair but there was no shampoo
I like that car but it has no tyres
I went on a really great date but he had to leave early
See? The minute "but" rears it's ugly head, you're making excuses and saying the opposite.
This means that you know Taco Boy isn't interested...am I right? It's not fair to tell us so much about your prospects with him only to slip it in sideways that it's not happening!!! Some of us were anxious for you two! We (I) thought it was all on...?
I think you should do it. I mean, why not? I would suggest e-harmony in particular for you.
e-Harmony is the one I haven't tried so I might if I do it again but after failing on Match and Catholic Match I am reluctant.
