I’ll admit it, and I’ll do so proudly: I love Internet dating sites. I don’t know why, but I’ve met some awesome people on them, and even though none of them have worked out for me thus far, I really think it’s one of the best ways to meet people.For me, I think the best reason is because it gives me a chance to review a whole bunch of people at once, then I can choose who I think I might be most compatible with. It’s so much fun looking at how people represent themselves online, and I think the kind of person I would want to meet would be someone that looks for love online, and it’s so easy to eliminate people right away if I know that they’re not who I’m looking for.
Besides that, there really aren’t many great ways to meet eligible women elsewhere except for mixers, but I’m way too mellow to have any luck at one of those. Bars and clubs suck; everyone in those places is usually so shallow…and drunk. Drunk people are no fun, anyway. Online I can meet people on an intellectual level and see what, if anything, clicks.
And yes, it’s totally true that there are a lot of freaks and weirdos online…but hell, I’m one of them, and even if they’re not people I would date normally, it can be fun to see the world through their eyes and I’ve been surprised at some of the great relationships that have blossomed from relationships with such weirdos. I highly recommend dating one if you haven’t before.
Tomorrow I’m headed to one of my best friend’s place in Sacramento for some serious geeking out. I don’t know if I’ll have time to write between now and Saturday, but for those of you that follow my blog I’ll try. Thanks for reading!!
