Adventures in online dating:
So after NO such luck in the love department lately I decided to suck it up, swallow my pride, and fork over the $50 to join Match. If nothing else I figured I’d get to meet some people and blah blah. Let’s get real- I was looking for some real dates, maybe an actual connection with someone. I consider myself just OK at dating- really good at first dates (its basically like a job interview- you get to talk about yourself and only share the really awesome parts of your life) and then after that I usually get bored, irritated that you are texting me too much, or sad because you aren’t texting me enough. I promised myself that this time I would be open to a broader selection of men (not just handsome, rich men that happen to live within my zip code) and make more first moves. Here’s what happened…
Things started off slow- a lot of generic “hey” emails. REeally? “Hey”? You think “hey” is going to get you a date with me? If they went the extra mile to add “like your smile” I still passed. Another rule I made- you profile pic means no talking. You can’t even upload a pic?? Really?? To me that means you are either lazy and/ or ugly. No thanks.
I should point out- I have met some very nice, normal people that things just didn’t “click”… those people aren’t part of this blog because I actually respect them and wish them good luck in their dating adventures.
