So I date online, think what you will but meeting people in everyday life is hard. Bars are a no-go, Bill Hader in Superbad said it best, "You don't want to meet a girl in a bar, where do I think I met my first wife, who is a whore by the way?". Truer words were never spoken.
I've tried coffee shops, farmer's markets, bookstores, yoga class, meeting people organically sucks. I use the internet for pretty much all of my needs now, why not dating? And for the most part, it's not too bad. I've met a total of three people from the my dating site and all of which have turned out to be exactly who they said they were and lovely people, just not for me.
However, the creepy instant message on dating sites is absolutely something I could live without. I can't log in without being propositioned by some sketchy-ass dude who just wants sex. A of all, who does that? Maybe get to know me, maybe offer to hang out with me with our clothes on first. B of all, does that actually work? What girl is like, oh a random stranger just sent me a message that is absolutely enough to get me to drop my panties, my guess is no one. C of all, if this is as unsuccessful as I expect it is, why do they keep doing it?
I guess the lesson here is perseverance, for every five creeps there is one guy who turns into a real date. And for every date, you just never know who may be the next great relationship or even, heaven forbid, the one. It looks like kissing all the frogs to find the prince has changed significantly for our generation, yet the concept still persists. Instead, I just have to endure creepy messages to weed through to find the great guys also trolling my dating site.
Still trolling for my prince....
