Started messaging with a new boy.

Part of me is over the whole online dating thing. I mean, I know that it’s becoming commonplace but it still feels kind of weird to me. It’s not really my personality, this kind of thing.

But I don’t know how else to meet people because all I do is sleep and work. I mean, with my current lifestyle, unless a nice, available, intelligent, straight guy wanders into my house I’m not going to meet him.

And I want to meet people, ultimately. Although I am shy and slow at making platonic friends I am good at it, and I am now comfortable with volume and quality of the friends I have at work. But I have never successfully met a guy that I then dated for a prolonged period of time. So I feel like sitting around waiting for it to happen is not effective. And that is how I end up online, because I do actually want to date and eventually even meet a guy that I genuinely like and who is not utterly averse to having a relationship.

So although the online thing still weirds me out, here I am talking to Engineering Boy.

    Yeah. I’m online dating too. The only problem with it is the douche quotient is much higher, it seems. Most of the guys...

  4. mittenstategirl said: I am in the same boat, girl. I have no idea how other people meet potential boyfriends, but I am really tired of sitting in my apartment feeling sorry for myself for being alone, so I too am taking a stab at online dating. Good luck to us!
