So the last two months have been entirely too crazy... First, my car broke down and has been in and out of the shop for about a month. My father worried for a few moments that I was dating a tow-truck drivier due to my sudden need for a tow truck every other day... This is not the case. Then, my job had relocated me back to the DC area which meant a fury of packing, unpacking, schedule changing, and overall rearrangement of my life. And finally, I have been chatting it up and dating it up with multiple men within the Baltimore/DC area...
Men are quite funny now a days. It seems no matter how you play it, they are ridiculously lazy when it comes to realtionships... I joined a free online dating website called, "Plentyoffish.com." The point behind this venture was to simply expose myself to men of varying professions, races, ages, ect, and to open up my mind when it comes to intermingle with men I've just met... Let's face it, while growing up you typically meet men in school settings, through friends, or through extra curicular events... Seldom do you find the man of your dreams at a bar and a relationship of worth actually unfolds. In today's society, 1 out of 5 relationships are begun through an internet dating site. I find this to be a outcry to our society's declining ability to socially interact, but nonetheless, it gave me a bit of motivation to check it all out. So far I have talked to several different types of men on the site. Some are kind and sweet, smolderingly sexy, boy next door handsome, and not in a millions years type guys.... It is not that surprising that most of the kind/sweet guys are momma's boys or far to mushy for me and that the smolderingly sexy kind seem to be more interested in sex then actually conversating! It's the boy next door handsome category that I have been dabling in and have been having some fun. It is interesting to see that guys are very hit or miss. Some are engaging and inquisitive, others give you two word answers... not the way to a woman's heart fellas! But for the most part finding a message from a new cutie, or even a lack there of looks, is a nice compliment to your day.
Men are simple scared now a days to approach woman, especially attractive strong minded ones. I think that these types of sites sometimes help the man learn to interact with the opposite sex more so than the female. If you are interested in getting a little bit more exposure to the dating world, I'd recomend this site. The first week or so may feel a bit uncomfortable and you may not get those types of guys your are looking for right away, but keep in mind, if you can't find a lover out of the ordeal, maybe you'll be able to find a few interesting gents to go to dinner or a movie with. Taking that first leap into something new is always the hardest part, but sticking with it makes the difference... Good luck dating!
