Day 57: Seriously? I mean, I don't have huge standards, but seriously?

Online dating, Week 1 responses:

"Hey, what's up?"

"hi"

"Wanna chat?"

"I think you're cute, want to talk?"

Okay, so that last one was nice, what girl doesn't like compliments. Except that it came from a 49 year old man who appeared to be missing a tooth. Or two.

I mean, I'm not honestly thinking I'm going to find Prince Charming online, or think someone's going to start reciting poetry. But, c'mon boys, you gotta work a little harder than that! Try a little humor, a little wit, quote a movie, bring up a current event, ANYTHING to strike up a little conversation! I mean, you're a stranger! I'm not going to randomly meet up with a stranger if I don't know anything about you. If I meet someone out, do we not have a little idle chit chat before deciding to maybe exchange numbers, then maybe talk a little more before making an actual date? So make a freaking effort, or I'll freaking ignore you.
