On-line Dating??

So, does on-line dating work? I have some mixed feelings about this one. To be fair, I met Jay and we were together for over 2 years. It just seems so odd to be looking at profiles. It is almost like buying a car or getting a book at Amazon, except my credit card doesn't actually get me anything (in the sex rooms, that might be a different story, but I have not clue :).

So, I'll try it and see what happens. The whole waiting for someone else to reply is just killing me... I wish everyone else was a obsessive as checking their e-mail and replying back. I mean, it is part of my job to check my e-mail throughout the day! :)

Anyone have any thoughts? If you really want to be scared, check out my profile. Is it really that scary?

If I were you, I'd beware. Some of the people out there on the internet are just plain scary. And I have been in an online dating relationship thingy once. It didn't work. At ALL.

Oh yeah, hey Shawn - SMILE DAMMIT! Incidentally, I posted on my weblog that you needed a date desperately enough to post on Yahoo. You can see that post by viewing this http://www.interalia.org/archives/001123.php . Happy hunting. ;)

Shawn, babe, please take Phil's advice. I've already told you about my internet stalker (it's been a year since I've heard from him !YAY!). And atleast have the comfort knowing you'll have better luck than I ever will. :)

WOW, harsh crowd this morning.

Thanks for the desperate plug Phil... I know that there are creepy people out there and I have dated a few. It is not like I am just going to do the first person that talks to me (well, if he is really hot, etc... :). I am just opening up my options. It is hard enough to meet a nice straight person let alone a gay guy. Anyone have any better suggestions??

Try not looking in bars. Try biding your time. It's what I do; I bide my time and these things (relationships, that is) just sort of happen. I've never actually actively gone looking for a girlfriend.

Do what Jeremy did at CTK: walk around with something saying you're gay, single, and available. (Hey, even though he was only able to bring 2 taken girls into our room, it's better than the results some of us got ;).) You know I'm just joking.

Oh, btw, your pic is not scary, since my monitor is not broken (yet).

The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, even to murder, for the truth. by texas holdem poker

As we shall see, the concept of time has no meaning before the beginning of the universe. This was first pointed out by St. Augustine. When asked: What did God do before he created the universe? Augustine didn't reply: He was preparing Hell for people who asked such questions. Instead, he said that time was a property of the universe that God created, and that time did not exist before the beginning of the universe. by texas holdem poker
