ok, so i’ve been doing online dating for about 6 years now (match, okcupid, plentyoffish, and of course, my good ‘o craigslist), and obviously, i haven’t met the “one.” so my sisters, friends, the million and one commercials about 29 points of compatibility, and even my therapist have suggested i try e-harmony. the people in the commercials look a little old and maybe too “normal”-looking, so i cringe. i didn’t like that the service didn’t have a gay section—not that i’m gay, but i believe in equality. 
i heard they fixed that now.
so last night, i sat up for a good 2 hours, taking the personality test and filling out my profile which was sorta tedious, but then i thought, if there’s a guy out there who actually takes the time to fill all of this out maybe, just maybe might be patient and also serious about meeting someone special. not that i won’t meet losers, but i’ll meet losers who actually can sit and form thoughtful answers…ok, yes, i’m a bit cynical about online dating in general. i feel like since it’s cyberspace, guys seem to have thrown out all common courtesy and respect out the window. for me, even if i haven’t met you in person, i’ll still treat you with kindness and courtesy, that’s just me.
so right after i fill out the test, 7 new matches hit my inbox. i filter through them, and am extra tickled by max–cute, creative, sweet. i don’t want to make the first move cuz i’d like to be pursued for once. this morning, there was 7 new matches. i liked john-cute, creative, sweet…see the pattern here—my heart hearts cute, creative and sweet. ;p there were a few others who seemed ok, so i left their profiles still opened.
i did close 8 of them cuz they didn’t give my heart the zing. i’m not only into looks, but if i don’t feel like kissing you, it’s most likely not going to work out. i’ve learned this before several times—i’m not going to apologize for knowing what my heart, mind, and loins want.
so i’m going to see if the men on e-harmony, matched by 29 personality thingamabobs, turn this cynic into a believer. ;p ahh, but rest assured, it doesn’t mean my blogs will be dull and only about love. there’ll be plenty of crazy sexual adventures i’m sure…and eeek! misadventures in dating, too. it wouldn’t be me, if everything worked out like a fairytale! that’s all right cuz this blog wouldn’t be half as entertaining if it did! ;p

OK Cupid seems to be the go-to place mostly for sexual encounters in my book… But good luck!
