PLUS SIZE DATING - Shopping Single

As a woman on the dating scene I'm acutely aware of my status as a single plus size woman. Every time I go to my local supermarket this sign mocks me.

It’s unavoidably placed at the entrance doors and my reaction is usually this:

“Yes, I’m still single. Yes I’m shopping alone and  bloody hell you’re really starting to annoy me stupid sign!”

I know the job of this sign is to get me to  join match.com (and sanitize my hands?) but all this little bugger does is  remind me I’m shopping for one and will probably eat far more than a single portion of ice cream  rather than have a sexy man seductively spoon it into my mouth.

I get it sign but I’m still not joining match.com no matter how often you remind me I’m “shopping single!”

If you really cared about my  plight as a plus size  single woman in her mid 30s you’d  host a weekly supermarket date night. You know the kind, where you dolly around with your trolley and have a box of cereal in the top of your cart that “best describes your personality.” Clearly mine would be “Lucky Charms.”

Lastly, I’d like to point out that you are standing ALONE so you too are in fact single. I hope match.com is providing you with a complimentary membership!

Yours in Big Curvy Love,

~Kelly (single but not forever)
