I know what you're all thinking. "Internet dating? Really? But you're so awesome and attractive, what gives?". And you're right. I am awesome and attractive. But that doesn't change the fact that the state of my love life is, well…what's the word for no physical contact with the opposite sex for six months because I'm hung up on my possibly gay* ex-boyfriend neighbor? Yea, you get the idea.
Typically I have held (and still hold) that internet dating is for people who have exhausted all other resources and reached the peak of desperation. I haven't really exhausted any resources or energy on finding someone, mostly because I don't like exhausting things plus I'm a little lazy and judgmental. And as far as the desperation part goes…eh whatever.
So I'm going to try this and give it my best, most minimally crazy, effort. And I'm inviting you all to join on my journey to find my soul mate on the world wide web. If you know me then you know this will probably not end well and as a result you are likely very excited to read on.
* Okay so maybe I did confirm a few weeks ago that ex-boyfriend neighbor is not gay. To put my suspicions rest, I decided to ask him directly. I learned two things from this: (1) ex-boyfriend neighbor is not gay and (2) straight men with whom you've had relations do not appreciate having their hetero-ness challenged…especially while they are preparing you a delicious dinner meal.
Color me excited. Quite a few girls I know have tried internet dating with varying measures of success: happily married to quitting eHarmony in order to date their 40 year old internship supervisor.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I've yet to hear any of my guy friends talk about internet dating which worries me and will hopefully not lead to XBN being able to return the favor after you go on a date with a sweet sounding guy who turns out to be a girl.
