The Things We've Learned

This, though very nice, is not a very OK pick-up line:

(With a "wink")

"I'm very curious! I think the length of your hair complements your face very well. it makes you look cheery and active :) also curious if the nose piercing hurt..."

Probably don't tell someone "I like your pics"

It is creepily close to sexting.

...OK wait, is this just me? Compliments make me really uncomfortable. Is this a reflection on my being a crazy human being, or is this something all girls struggle with because we are repressed by a totally sexist, misogynistic society?

OK great. Just me. I always knew it.

So here's the thing I'm really struggling with here on this online dating thing: it's creepy, right? Like, it's creepy to meet someone over the internet and then meet them in person and then go on a date and potentially fall in love and have babies. Except it's not -- so many people are doing it, but I am still SO creeped out. Maybe that's why I never go on a second date...

Let's Review

So, it's now June, nearly July in fact, (and I've certainly waned in my posts. Sorry guys. I'll make it up to you) and I can sum up my online dating experience in a short sentence:

Some of the dates were fails, some were BIG fails, and I had to stop talking to one guy because he wouldn't cease to ask me if he could smell my feet.

...I'm not even kidding. Is this what online dating has come to? Not a single man was worth a second date. From Lentil Soup to High-Pitched (sub-par) Rock Star, I've had more luck in a bar than with this online dating system.

Did I mention I even had to change my profile information because the statement "I still want to be a super hero" was attracting a few too many comic book geeks?

Eep.
