“Is it not a bit problematic that at my age, I have never been on a date? It is days like this one that make me wonder if my fears and preconceived notions are true: are there really no Nigerian or at least African men on E-Harmony dot com? That website has promised to match me on twenty-nine different dimensions of compatibility. That is a whole lot more than what I have been able to do for myself. And what about Match dot com? Dr. Phil has told me that it is okay to look there. So I have looked \u2013 but just at their home page. I am not quite ready to divulge into anything else yet. Chemistry dot com has vowed to find me a person who will make me go weak in the knees. Now, that is the kind of passion I want!”<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The above paragraph was pulled from an article written by yours truly<\/span><\/a><\/b> – yes me<\/i> – in December of 2008. That was when I was desperately in need for someone to date me jejely and tenderly. Wait a minute, I was not desperately<\/i> in need. I just thought it’d be nice to be dated jejely and tenderly for once.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
In case you’re wondering, I really did visit the homepage of Match dot com, and I really did wonder if there are Nigerian\/African men on E-Harmony dot com, although I did not plan on signing up. Overall, my favorite site’s slogan was and still is Chemistry dot com. They promised to find me a man who would make me go weak in the knees. Mm mm mm!!! I’m weak in the knees already just thinking about it. Who does not want weak-in-the-knees chemistry?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Why do I bring this up now? On Saturday, November 14th, Good Naija Girl<\/span><\/a><\/b> and I would be discussing virtual dating<\/span><\/a><\/b> on Verastically Speakin<\/span><\/a><\/b>. Oh, yes!!! Have you voted in the poll up there? Well, go vote, please, and then click here<\/span><\/a><\/b> on Saturday morning to listen.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
P.S.<\/b> I’ve been a little busy with church this entire week, but it has been a blessing to say the least. If you’re in the Baltimore area, it’s not yet late to attend the Shiloh Festival at House of Praise, Baltimore Church. See the bottom of this post<\/span><\/a><\/b> for more details.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
