Okay so before I delve too far into this post I would like to reassure some of my readers that I have not transcended into the world of online dating. At least not fully. I have a friend, who shall remain nameless, who recently signed up for a site called OK Cupid. It is a completely free site (to reassure those of you who think that I have sunk to the depths of paying an obscene amount of money to find a date.) and it is a bit unconventional compared to the other dating sites out there.
The part that attracted me, that my friend knew would attract me, were the funny questions that you get asked and then paired up with your match over. Some examples include but are not limited to: Which of the two would be your preference: A lifetime supply of your favorite snack food or a 30-minute orgasm?? or Would you date someone who was currently in a relationship, knowing that you would "be a secret?".
Seriously folks, you should have seen the matches that they were sending me to. Many of you know that over the years I have switched back and forth on the stance of online dating. And I will admit that it has worked for some. But I do not believe that it will work for me. Granted. I have someone who I am interested in at the moment who I did NOT meet online and that could be a big influence on my oppinion.
However I know that there are relationships out there who started out as long distance, online relationships and ended working out really well. To these people, congratulations. I don't know how you did it but I am glad that you are happy.
And that, my friends, is my rant this morning about online dating. Not a rant really. Just a few thoughts. I may have to continue these later. When it is not quite so early in the morning.
