Online dating might actually end up killing me though!
Online dating is brutal and your self esteem takes a serious beating. You start to feel hopeful and excited by new potential boys and dates…then those hopes and excitement are crushed. By the time I make it through this, I will have the toughest skin and be the bluntest person ever.
I send out winks or messages and sometimes I get a “polite no” and I wonder: do they not like me because of how I look? or because I am liberal? or maybe they don’t like dogs, in which case we wouldn’t work out anyway! And some people simple don’t respond or acknowledge me at all (rude much) Then there are the ones you start to email/chat with and you seem to have a good connection. We set up a time to meet, we go on a date, the date seems to have gone great, we chat some more after date, then…
1. Suddenly the guy just stops writing back. (Um, what? If the date was horrible or he wasn’t interested then why continue to email/text back and forth with me afterwards and then just poof, nothing)
2. We hit it off, discuss going on another date and then you get a text saying “Hey I really did have a good time on our date, but I also went on a date with someone else before our date and we hit it off. I am going to give it a go. I wish you the best of luck in your search”
*I really appreciate that he manned up and was willing to tell me. And I hope it works out for them, because this online dating blows!
I have also encountered the guy who is chatting to multiple ladies (hey, I don’t judge, I am trying to talk to several guys), but he can’t seem to keep us straight. Dude, seriously, keep better track of us. Also, I am not interested in a booty call.
This is an actual message I received:
Hey There
Been lil bored how bout you. Maybe something casual, rip one fool around a bit. Take Care if not
Um, really? Does that actually work? And WHAT in my profile gives the impression that I would be interested in that?
Sigh, there has to be someone out there somewhere. I will just look at it like trying to find a job. For every 20 applications I submit I get 1 interview and for every 10 interviews I get a job offer. So using this theory I only have 1,123,973 more applications to go…

I think you need to start posting more about online dating. I've read a few blogs and they are hysterical. Not for you, obviously. :( But I love losers and reading about the lower class of society. Keep 'em coming! But you're right- you'll have thick skin and be a huge smart ass by the end. Both good things. ;)
I cant imagine how much it must suck to have to sort through all those guys to find 1 good one but it'll happen for you! And you're right, you will definitely have thick skin & become extremely blunt but mabye your perfect guy will be the one who loves that in a girl ;)
lol At least your trying! And I can't believe a guy actually sent you that message.
I mean really??!! lol what was he thinking?
