Online Dating

I should be writing my chemistry abstract right now... but I can't focus. I just keep thinking about this online dating site that I'm a member of. And I'm gonna be completely honest and admit that I have no idea how I became a member... It used to be the Aquarium on Facebook, and now it has become SpeedDate. I guess since I had the aquarium app that means that I wanted this one when it changed over... whatever. I thought hey, what the heck? right? It couldn't hurt any... All I've met so far have been weirdos. And that entire word should be capitalized just to add emphasis for how weird they really are/ creepy. It's speed dating. The site pulls up someone they think you would match with who is also currently online. You have three minutes to IM back and forth or you can choose to leave the date early and you have to give the reason why. Today I was on and I get some guy. Has a decent pic, probably wasn't even what he really looked like. We talked for maybe five sentences, he asks if I have a webcam. I reply no, he says damn and leaves the date. WTF??? Then this other guy wants to chat so we skip the whole three minute thing and start e-mailing. We e-mail back and forth for probably 15 minutes and then he asks if I want to play dirty. I didn't even know what that meant! I had to ask.. embarrassing when you think about. And yes, it is exactly what you think it means. What a jerk! No worries, I told him off. The nerve of the loser.. Jeez. I'm sorry but when did it become appropriate to proposition someone over an e-mail? And after only talking for like 10 minutes?! I'm not saying I want to revert back to Pride and Prejudice times, but come on! At least TRY to get to know me/ pretend to act interested before you hit me up for sex. This is my current opinion on all men. I have yet to meet a decent one who contradicts what I just wrote. Where's a Prince Charming when you really want one?

  1. Well first of all I have to giggle, because let's be honest, that was a hilarious post! Second, I have to say, that Prince Charming doesn't seem to exist, I do know that there are still some decent (a small few) men out there, they are just extremely hard to find!Sad, but true. Keep holding out, he will find you when you least expect! :)
