Online Dating

Soo...
I've started a new journey a month or 2 ago...
I "excitedly" joined the virtual world of online dating.

I was quite hesitant in doing so, because I never felt all that "desperate" to meet someone. Not to say I got desperate,

but...

waking up on a beautiful Saturday morning on Memorial Day weekend with no where to go... can make you do a lot of random things... including join Match.com.

It was instantly interesting, filling out the bio and seeing your "connections". Some real lookers and some real scary looks. Messages started coming in quickly (if you ever need an ego boost, just join a dating site)... Conversations were flowing and shockingly enough, some people manage to get my number (I was quite surprised, but impressed with myself that I was being "open"). Some conversations never left the initial greeting. Others made it pretty far but fizzled somewhere in between... (I'll keep all the exciting details for another post)... No one quite making me excited with their Good Morning text, in fact I rolled my eyes quite often.

I told myself I'll give it 30 days, by day 15 I was SOoOoO over the app. So over the constant messages from grandpa's, little boys, deadbeats... so I shut down the app....

I said, nope, this isn't for me. I'll just have to wait it out, be patient..."que lo mio esta por ahi"...

Until this weekend...

No, I wasn't bored...
No, I didn't have a desperate moment...
I was just introduced to a new app & the possibilities sounded promising...
SOoo... I signed up for Bumble... and I must say, Day 2 & I haven't rolled my eyes yet... In fact I've been quite impressed with the "options".

BUT

2 months later... I've done a whole lot of texting and absolutely NO DATING... Probably because I'm terrified of my awkwardness. Probably because I'm so use to meeting people through people and having references... Probably because Dating comes with so many questions after... Probably because trial & error was never my favorite thing... Probably because it's exhausting and reintroducing myself to someone new time & time again, makes me question too much who I am and what I have to say about myself.... Probably because...I just want things to work out...

sigh...
