So I must admit, I'm trying out the online dating scene. A few weeks ago I mentioned it in one of my entries, and the uncertainty of the idea, but I figured "heck, if I don't give it a try myself, I'll never know for sure." Well...the results are mixed. I have gotten some WAY off the mark guys responding to my profile, and none that really really pique my interest. I think my conclusion is that I am a social butterfly, right? And in order for me to know if I'm interested in someone, I have to spend time with them, talk to them, see how we interact together. It's not just about how the person looks and what they say about themselves in a 2000 character box. I mean, the time I spent trying to craft my profile seems futile every time I go back and read it. I feel like it only expresses one dimension of who I am, and the terms people use to describe themselves are so vague (i.e. fun-well my definition of fun could be laughing all night long, and yours could be taking a girl home with you...). It's just so hard for me to read people online, so I think I'm sticking to real life dating. I'll keep my profile up just to see, but I think real life definitely trumps online!
Another thought...so a few of my guy friends think that I'm always interested in their friends (which isn't entirely false if you know my friends-of-friends dating theory), and they like to tease me about it. So I take it in stride, and it is partially true, but I'm interested in their friends in a he-seems-like-a-nice-guy-and-I'd-like-to-get-to-know-him-better sort of way, not the way I imagine these boys are thinking. The point is, I met another friend of a friend on Saturday who really seemed to be interested, and I want to see him again, but I didn't get his number. He and our mutual friends asked me to play poker with them (although they know I don't really know how to play), but I know they won't call because that's the way they are. Should I call them and invite myself?? Or should I just wait it out and let fate take its course? If we meet again, great! If not, it wasn't meant to be. I have no idea, that's why I'm putting it out there....help!
