I just realized that anyone coming across my blog would
think it’s a Star Trek fanfiction blog, and I can’t have that.
As a new feature of my blog:
STRANGE TALES OF ONLINE DATING!!!!
Firstly, I’ve been online dating. A large part of my
relative silence these last months has been due to dating. The first half of
the negligent period was because I was dating someone and allocating all my
free time to her. The latter portion was primarily because I was depressed
after we parted ways. They say that you need ½ the time of a relationship to
get over it (they being romance scientists) but I’ve generally needed longer.
In any case, my grieving period was superimposed on top of
turning 31, another milestone of dating failure and the whole situation has put
me off the concept of meeting people and seeing if we like each other and
forming relationships.
Enter online dating. Now I can browse people, almost never
meet them and have little confidence if I do or do not actually like them.
Improvement? No. But it has been entertaining when it hasn’t been depressing.
I took a shotgun approach. I found some good deals on
eHarmony and LDSPlanet. I signed up for okcupid because it’s free, and
reactivated my LDSlinkup account from years ago because it is also free. I also
signed up for Tinder because it’s free and fairly entertaining. So at some
point each day I try to make the rounds through these various sites. Nothing’s
really come of it yet, but I’ll try to provide some amusing stories and
observations through this new feature of STOOD.
