about a year ago, i got to talking with a friend about online dating and she told me about OKCupid. She'd been meeting good people from it, so I decided to give it a whirl. I met a really good guy on it but one day he up and fell off the face of the earth. Seriously. We went from talking on the phone for hours to crickets. A week later, I deleted my profile all together.
I'm not online dating's biggest fan, but I do it anyway. I haven't lost faith, especially since everything and everyone is online now. The other night I was bored out of my mind and decided to try a site my aesthetician recommended - PlentyOfFish.com.
the site name itself amuses me. the site? horrifies me. so much going on. the layout is all wrong. you can't tell an ad from an actual link. blah. i set up my profile on a tuesday night at 10 and within the hour i had 5 emails from dudes within a 50 mile radius.
i like online dating because you can be both selective and, um, rejective (i know thats not a word) without hurting anyone's feelings. i've blocked more people than i've written back and already i've gotten a firefighter and a Tony. it makes me laugh.
since i like writing, this is my preferred method of testing the waters. also, it gives you something to look forward to at the end of the day. we all need that these days.
i'll be honest. i've been missing Tony (orginal Tony, not this new one) a lot. i miss talking to him. hanging out watching TV and movies with him. i hope he's well. anyway.
