Shoes and Men

Ever notice that dating is a lot like buying new shoes?  I mean really, think about it for a minute.  It is completely the same in many ways.  Trying to find that one perfect pump that you have in your mind, good luck with that.  See a gorgeous pair of boots only to find out they fit terribly?  Or maybe upon first glance a heel looks simply fabulous but once you get a closer inspection you notice that it is cheaply made and falling apart.  Really, the similarities between dating men and shopping for heels are quite astounding.

Take my very first "date."  On paper he was impressive; his pictures were fantastic.  We had so many things in common, I thought for sure this was going to be a slam dunk.  I was already planning our second and third dates in my mind.  Then we met.  He didn't think standing up when he introduced himself was important, he already ordered his coffee, hello, this is a coffee date, right?  What a disaster.  It was like ordering a heel online.  The picture is simply fabulous, the write-up is great but then the shoe arrives and you know you have been played by good online marketing.
