Online dating

So I've been trying online dating lately. I've been on this one site for the last few weeks and I am enjoying the attention I am getting. Lots of guys sending you messages in your inbox, telling you that you are cute and that they would like to chat. What else can a girl ask for? Talk about a morale booster!

Being married and out of the dating scene, I never knew how easy it is to hook up with someone just for sex. For some reason, I always thought it would be complicated or finding a friend with benefits would be hard to find. Well, I'm discovering that it ain't that hard. Like really not hard at all.

So there are a ton of guys on this site that say they want to have a relationship but when you start chatting, all they want to do is talk about sex. What's up with that? Like maybe they could meet the person first and then check to see if this could be a friend with benefits kind of relationship or something more. But noooooo, most of them start with that in mind. It actually ends up being a turn off. Not that I am opposed to a FWB kind of relationship, but I would like it to start a bit slower then at the first contact.

So I have been chatting with a lot of guys. I’ve had very different experiences. Some guys will initiate the chat and then have nothing to say beyond, Hi! How are you?. Others talk about their truck. Like don’t you know you are talking to a girl and if you want to talk about your truck then you should go to a bar and talk with your friends about it because I could care less about your Ford 150. Others are more rounded and will actually show interest in getting to know you. So far, I have met up with some guys, which I will write about a bit later.

So, I’m giving this online dating a try, as I really don’t have the opportunity to meet up with guys. Most of my friends are girls; well actually, all of my friends are girls. I work with a bunch of girls in my section with the exception of a couple of non-available or not my type guys, and I don’t go out to bars or pick up joints. So at the moment, I am having fun with this and who knows what this will bring to me in the future.
