As many of you already know, my ex has readily replaced me with another woman and had a baby with her.  Unfortunately, I waited too long to reach out to him after we broke up, so he is no longer an option.  It's frustrating hearing him talk with their new baby as he is clearly a good father.  Regardless, these are the unfortunate circumstances.

Therefore, I was looking at possibly joining Match.com or some other website as an option to see if someone else might be of interest.  

What I am wondering is if there are any professional issues with joining any of these websites? For example, would employers view me as less than desirable for having a profile? Could this hinder my chances of landing another job? 

Anyone have experience with these websites or have been impacted professionally, as a nurse, due to using one?

I definitely think it's a good policy not to date coworkers.

I always thought that too.  My mind almost changed when my ex and I started dating, as we met at work.  For a period of time, it seemed like our "relationship," might result in a marriage, so I was willing to change my mind against the "no-dating-coworkers" policy I had established for myself.  Of course, now not only are we not married, but we have broken up and he is with someone else.  I no longer wish to work at my former job because there's a good chance I'll see him there.  Anyhow, I'm now back to my ways of not dating any more coworkers.

Back in the early days of the AIDS scare, I requested that a young lady who voiced her desires to be intimate with me have labs drawn.

She did, so we did.

This should still be a standard today.... not to mention asking about herpes and hoping they're telling the truth.  I guess that's where knowing who you're sleeping with comes into play huh?

It's funny that you mention this.  I've long held the thought that I will marry the first person who proposes.  Frankly, I don't anticipate many, if any, people being interested, so if someone does, I should feel honored.   I'm just not someone who can afford to be too picky.  Probably not the best way to look at things, but sometimes you must be realistic about yourself and your position in life 

No.  Just no.  You can't afford NOT to be picky.  You may not be the smartest, or the prettiest, or the greatest person in the world but trust me, being lonely in a relationship is worse than being lonely when you're alone.  There are worse things than not having a partner, just look at all the unhappy people in marriages.  I'm single, and while I sometimes think it would be nice to have a partner, I'm perfectly happy by myself.  That's where you need to start from, being perfectly happy by yourself.  Imo....

As an LPN student in 1983, a patient who looked like he was one of the audience in the front row  of a Willie Nelson concert (What has 36 legs and 6 teeth? The front row of a Willie Nelson concert) asked me, "What's the difference between herpes and love?"

I said that I didn't know.

He replied, with a big sporificely toothed grin, "Herpes is forever!"
