Pot of Chili: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Big pot of chili.

Big pot of chili.

Friday

I think my favorite food would have to be a lasagna rich with fresh sauce, ricotta cheese and a mixture of mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar cheeses, applied in a logical order and with a little bit of spice, maybe dried chili peppers added to the mix.

I do make this treat myself once every few months. Although I could easily eat lasagna several times a week, when made to please my palate, my waist wouldn’t appreciate it and I’d never want to overdue it and then hate eating lasagna, like what happened with chili.

I used to make a big pot of chili a couple of times a month. This would leave me with five or six meals worth of chili to spread over the next couple of work weeks (a few bowls frozen, of course) but after a couple years of this menu I tired of having chili and now haven’t made or eaten chili for several years.

I think that your favorite meal helps to define you as a person. Think about it, when your favorite meal is available at a restaurant it’s usually what’s ordered, at least for me anyways. And if it’s not made in a satisfactory way then the restaurant loses a lot of it’s “cache” for being a place to go and eat.

And when you start to withdraw from going to certain places to eat you define not only the direction of your own tastes but the options of menu choices that your dining companion has as well.

I usually get to choose where we go out to eat and it’s not only what is available on the menu but how dependable the meal is from visit to visit. The restaurant is great as long as the meal is great but if the cook has an off moment, and I suffer a not-great-meal, then my return visit will be far in the future.

I tell you all of this because I want to remind you that not only do our choices affect ourselves but they can have far reaching implications as well.

Maybe the cook loses his job, maybe the restaurant closes. Maybe my dining companion tires of my restaurant choices and I end up dining alone.

The implications of choice are mind-boggling, to say the least.

Life offers a lot more than lasagna and chili choices. For my part of it, and yours, online dating offers an entire buffet of choices and options.

I encourage you to try more than any single dating service at a time. Having an active profile on two or three dating services at a time is quite normal, even encouraged. This will help you to not only get used to how online dating works but increase your chances of finding great dates too.

Just don’t use the same user/member name and password combination, and try to use different photos in your profile too. Keep your profile headlines original too, maybe variations of this headline theme will work well for you:
“My favorite food is lasagna, what is yours?”

Have a great day!
