Internet Dating

I first started internet dating on a lonely weekend in March and immediately received twenty, thirty, up to a hundred messages from the creppiest guys one could imagine. Was this because I opted for the FREE dating site plentyoffish.com, rather than match.com? I don't know. But men my father's age wanted to take me out, men who ignored the vegan themes in my profile wanted to take me hunting. I got phone numbers for texting galore. It did give a boost to my ego. Too bad everyone was ugly. And, if that didn't give it away, I'm a snob when it comes to guys. People have noted I date a certain type of guy. A hipster. Hipsters are not on plentyoffish.com.

I tried. I really did. I went out with a very normal guy. All except for his name, which was very unique. But normal is boring and I hope he never reads this. We went on three dates (the third of which is "Amy's Place"). He was a gentleman, but I would seriously die of boredom before anything could ever happen between us. Maybe I just hate meeting new people.

I still don't know what to do with this site. Should I delete my account? There are no hipsters and I'm flooded by older, balding men. One of my friends told me about okcupid.com and I signed up and found hipster guys there, some of which I know in person. Maybe I'll just try that one. Maybe internet dating isn't for me after my last experience (see Amy's Place); I just don't know.
