Dating. It's fun, right? It's exciting to get dressed up and go out with a cute (sometimes) guy that may or may not be the potential love of your life. Sometimes you meet the guy through a friend or through a blind date set up by a mutual acquaintance, or maybe you meet him at work or at the gym. But sometimes, you meet him online.
Online dating is an avenue that I've been down a time or two, but I've never really had much luck with the guys that I've met through email. Every time I get a message or view a profile of a good looking and charming-sounding guy (I'm too chicken to actually SEND him a message), I can't help but wonder why he's on the site if he's such a great guy. Okay, I'm on it, too, but that's because I'm painfully shy when it comes to meeting and pursuing guys in person. Seriously, just ask Heidi. She introduces me to her friend and it takes me about a month and half to actually allude to him that I may be interested, and even then I don't put it all out there. I have a terrible fear of rejection; however, I won't delve into that topic too much, as I've been informed that if I sound too self-deprecating, then I'll put people off reading the blog. Oops.
Online dating can be exhilarating. I sit down at my computer, log into the site, and anxiously see if I've received any messages. When I do, I fervently read each email and scan the poor bugger's profile to see if he sounds like a good guy. Of course, he does - everyone on that site sounds effing fantastic, because they want to make themselves sound desirable to the opposite (or same, no judging here) sex.
Seriously, how many guys out there "don't take life too seriously" or, my personal favourite, "enjoy great sex"? Alright, who doesn't? It could just be me, but that totally turns me off. If you have to say you enjoy great sex, chances are that you haven't actually experienced it. Any self-respecting female would not want to be with a guy to prove to him that she can provide the great sex that he so clearly craves. Then again, maybe self-respecting females, Heidi and myself aside, don't venture on to dating sites.
Dating is a tricky game. Sure, it can be enjoyable, but the main reason for one to date is to find someone with whom they are compatible and with whom they can enter into a relationship. The lucky ones find their "soul mate" through the normal way, while the not-so-lucky ones exhaust every outlet of matchmaking in the hope of finding someone to cuddle up to on a Saturday night with popcorn and a romantic comedy. Right now, that sounds exactly like the Saturday night activity that Heidi and I often enjoy, aside from the cuddling. Obviously.
Happy Soul Mate Hunting!
Love,
Bella
