The World Wide Web

So, there is this guy. Tell you more? Okay. Well, despite all of my trash talking of internet dating, once I hit 32 I decided I’d better stop being so picky about my options. :) Seriously though, I was in great need of some new blood in the dating pool so I thought I’d give it another round, only differently this time. It was quite obvious from previous experience that guys on free dating sites are mostly there for a piece of this hot bod. That or they were seriously weird!! Either way, enough was enough and I had to remove myself before I lost complete faith in the male species. 

After a suitable sabbatical I decided it was time to fork out the big bucks and see what the internet had to offer in return. I chose a well known and vastly used site to display my picture and personal info to browsing males who also decided to fork over a lot of money for love. It seemed like they might be more serious if money was involved. This is still to be determined but so far not an unreasonable hypothesis. Anyway, after a few months of patient waiting, one day a match showed up with so many captivating details as to lure me into sending him a one liner. I won’t tell you what it was…but I thought it was pretty funny. I decided that as long as I laughed, it was all good. 

Once the send button was pushed I really hoped this one would write back, but I didn’t have too high of hopes. I had really been trying to let the guys come to me this time around. I thought I would just relax and let the men make the initial contact. Well, this particular site is a little weird about emailing someone. They warn against it making you feel like you have never communicated with someone in your life and that you should first complete their step by step process to get to that point. They have ridiculous multiple choice questions that you can choose to send. I have responded to a few but never sent any in return because I think they are La-Hame!! Anyway, I took a chance on this one and hoped for the best. 

A little over 24 hours later I finally got the response I was hoping for. He laughed! And he even did it with three exclamation points. What a man! He replied with another witty one liner and I knew then that there could be good potential with this one. After a couple of short replies back and forth he sent me a more lengthy email. I returned the favor. It’s only been two weeks but we have been conversing back and forth in this manner almost daily. I hate to make any judgments about anyone until I meet them in person but so far he seems pretty cool…easy to converse with, good looking in pictures, good sense of humor, and he seems like he is a really good person. We seem to have a lot in common with similar goals and interests. He is outdoorsy, has a super cool job which involves A LOT of travel, and likes good food. Haha. :)  I’m just trying to figure out whether to be patient a little longer, or to throw my number out there. He talks about doing stuff with me…like skiing and what not…but hasn’t asked for the old number. What to do, what to do?? I’ll keep you posted!
