Oops

Anyone who has ever ventured into the world of online dating more than once knows about the "Lifers". The people who always seem to be there, one week to the next, one year to the next. They may leave for short spurts, they may declare they have found the love of their lives and then be back complaining about "drama", they may just never leave. They may just come and go randomly. (I may or may not be one of the above people, maybe.)

The smart ones update their profiles and pictures and usually are actually hoping to meet someone special. The eternal optimists, god bless em. Others don't update anything, why change what isn't broken? (To them, I guess, maybe... who knows)

Anyway...

Got a message notification tonight from my dating profile. There's always a moment where you think "This could be it!". You rush to your profile to see who sent the message. What they say, what they look like, who they are, what could happen...

...And then it's a guy you talked to on the same site, met at a bar, slept with once (sorry mom) 6 years ago... Who doesn't realize who he just messaged.

What?

Just me?

Awkward.















Shit.

  3. HAHA .... been there a really long time ago (shh don't tell my daughters) ... the internet as not necessarily changed as much as everyone thinks, As least not on the online dating sites. Same goes for the Singles Dances -- I would go to them in between relationships, and several years later return... many of same people still there. The 'lifers' -- still looking. Still going to the dances, speed dating nights and online. Maybe even recycling the one night stands from years ago . Why not!
