Dating On-A-Line : Part 1 (Oh Dear)

Salutations *throws white rum*

We are going to need a drink for this one. I can remember clearly, receiving my first stranger friend request on Facebook. I promptly rejected. I can also remember my first Direct Message on Twitter, not because it was anything special but because it was some extremely thirsty man begging me my phone number. I can also recall tweeting ” I don’t do tweetharmony”. I have stuck to that thinking quite strongly until now.

The other day a random conversation got me thinking. We are on social media sites almost everyday of the week. We tell absolute strangers what we like to eat, where we like to hang out, songs selections, colour, movies, shows. We really give them a window into who we are and our world. I hear alot of people saying “its’s only Twitter” <- I Disagree. Twitter tells me a whole lot and Facebook. Now, this doesn’t say throw caution to the wind. I haven’t forgotten the Craiglist Killer 0_o. But What I am saying is I have met many “pretty awesome” people on social media who have become cool enough friends. Therefore, I no longer see anything wrong with dating someone you’ve met online. Now DO NOT GET ME WRONG, as is normal, many people take things to the extreme.

Men, please do not DM every female follower on Twitter for their number or Bberry PIN spark up a conversation. After you have developed a rapport over time, you can ask. In fact, the rules aren’t really that different in the virtual world as it is in the real. Females, some of you have totally given in to the lure of “anonymity” the web provides. But please know this, if you are a Twitter mattress or a Facebook ho <- We Know. I have had my experience with informal online dating “the thirsty messages, the unsolicited pics”. I decided to take it up a notch and take it to the formal online dating sites. I’ve only just begun so stay tuned for the adventures, I will update you soon.

**** Okay so I wrote the above Earlier this week. It is now February 3rd, 2011 and I’m ready to quit. What int he name of hardough bread is going on here?!?! First and foremost E-Harmony free trials do not allow you to VIEW any of your matches. You read correct. I cannot see who likes me. So I’ve developed my own strategy and resorted to choosing “cute names” I’m certain Dilbert, Wilbert & Humberto are really nice guys but that just not cutting it 0_o. Ive also grown weary of the spamming that is going on in my email from E-harmony. I mean, i’m flattered and all that I have so many matches BUT scrise, this is too much. Goodness o’ lunacy!!!

Anyways. I have been threatened by my friend Krystalle that If I do not finish this challenge and answer EVERY single question from each man she will kill me. Seeing as how I dont want to die a virgin (smile everyone) I shall go look at my bagillion emails.

Pray For me and Keep Tuned.

Faith & Love????
