I've joined the interweb masses and signed up for online dating. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this, and I honestly don't know how I'm going to approach this, but I've recently posted a profile (very wittily written, if I do say so myself) and would be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued and kind of excited. Who will message me? What will they say? WILL anyone message me? Crap, this is actually kind of nerve wracking...
I've always been kind of uneasy about the online thing. I like that it's an easier way to approach someone, from the safety of your house, behind your computer screen. You can say the things you WANT to say, instead of the jarbled, embarrassing comments that fall out of your mouth, like "it gets good gas mileage" when the adorable car shop guy tells you your car fits you and you look cute in it. However, sometimes I feel like it's forced, like if I'm meant to find someone, it will happen on its own and I don't need to seek it out like I'm on a man hunt. There's also the romantic in me that really wants to smack into someone in the grocery store parking lot, pick up each other's keys by accident then fall in love while we exchange them and have a good laugh over coffee. I know, I'm rolling my eyes too...
So, I guess we'll see what happens? This could be fun. Or interesting. Or terrifying. Oh good grief...
