Number 2 pre-date

So tonight Ms. #2 and I will go on a romantic date... Well I don't know how romantic it is (just mexican food) but it is a date. We just have dinner planned so it will just be a "meet and great" for the most part but I like that, having to plan something big and fancy for a blind date can be awkward and expensive. Post date blog will follow.

I still am rating my daily matches and sending a few emails though the pace has slowed, for several reasons: Becoming busier then usual, talking to #2 and frustration with lack of responses. A friend just joined the same dating site and wow, women get a lot more attention then men do.

Number 2

A few days ago someone we will refer to as #2 said she was interested.  I wasn't sure I was for some unknown reason but I emailed her and she responded. She is a brunette with a killer smile who works in the healthcare industry. Hmmm, that is two brunettes in a row, I need to find a blonde or redhead to spice things up.

As a side note, I sent a "thanks but no thanks" to email to #1 last night, no response but hopefully she felt the same way.

Post date summary

So I promised someone I would make this post exciting and hilarious but that actually would be quite difficult.

The date consisted of me arriving a few minutes early to find her already waiting. We ate some mediocre Mexican food, and had good conversation. She was cute and nice and although I talked to much I avoided saying anything too stupid and embarrassing. I have no specific reason, but I don't think we will be going out again. In fact I need to find a way to politely tell her so, I guess since we met online an email will suffice. I will actually write it though, not use a form letter then website provides.


On a much more entertaining note, the website matched me with someone I actually know in real life today, and actually would be interested in dating. Of course she doesn't feel the same way, but if anything happened I would *not* blog about it here.

Maybe I will find another more horrifying and entertaining date soon.

I got asked out

So in a twist of fate, #1 asked me out for dinner Sunday. I thought I was going to have to make the first move but she was bold and asked me out, which is a definite turn on. Sadly I already had plans so now we are going out tonight.


Here is hoping to a fun, non awkward date, though if it is horrible the follow up blog will be much more entertaining.

Number 1

I got my first email back today from a very nice young lady we will just call #1, unless someone has a better way anonymizing names. She is a brunette, a teacher and seems nice. Hopefully we will keep talking and see where things go.

I feel shallow

So this website presents you with 5 members a day that you rate how interested you are. If you are interested it lets them know, and if they are interested as well then I guess you are supposed to email eachother or make babies or something.

So last night I am rating mine, first four are fairly attractive so I say yes, then the last one I had to click no. And it made me feel so shallow, not because she was un-attractive (she was) but she was in a wheelchair and talking about how whoever she dated had to be willing to help her in and out of it. I wish her the best, but yeah not a chance in hell I am gonna date her.

Another girl had "winked" at me and at first glance I thought she was cute, then I noticed the warning sign: She just had pictures of her face. Not just one, but like 5 pictures of her face, or her lieing on her stomach. Here is a hint, if the person you are talking to only has face photos, they are a fattie. Sorry.

And finally, I skipped someone from the same town my dad lives in because I just never ever want to go there.

Yup, guess I am shallow.

Spam

That was fast, it didn't even take 24 hrs before my first spam message appeared. It was so poorly worded I can't imagine anyone actually falling for it. Of course people do fall for it, which I guess should shake my faith in humanity.

So far 52 people have viewed my profile, and I sent a message to one lady who said she was "interested". Hopefully my new photos will help class up my profile.

And so it begins

So I just took the plunge, I signed up for a popular online dating site. My profile still needs some work, and I definitely could use some better pictures, but I am there.

Not only am I there, but I actually subscribed for 6 months. Nothing like subscribing for 6 months to show your faith in finding love.
