Did I mention that I quit online dating?
I cannot take the pressure that comes from meeting someone online – I feel like there are too many expectations and it creates all kinds of weird awkwardness. I need to be someone’s friend before I can date him. I can’t meet you for dinner a couple of times and guess what you are thinking.
It feels like so many of these sites are for one of two things.
- Meeting the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and living happily ever after
- Having sex
Seeing as I am not looking for either of these things exclusively, it doesn’t work for me, so I quit.
I’m terrible at telling people I am not interested, I would rather see people that I like and am comfortable with. I feel like if I am not making the time to see any of these men I have met online, I’m not that into them.
However, before I went, I forwarded a guy that I had been chatting with my email (well the secondary email I have set up to accompany the account). He sent me an email the other day. It was funny and charming. I might write him back.
