Adventures in dating

So... Dating Blows. The end

JK, its been a while since you guys have read something funny from me... my dating life should suffice!

So, I have started "internet dating" which is code for "I work in Urology with all the broken Pee Pee's and go to school at night with all the 40 year old mommies going back to school, so I have no freaking idea where to meet the fellas."  There was one guy my age in a few of my classes in the last few semesters.  We got along, and had a serious discussion about sleeping together (sorry family, don't mean to traumatize you!) vs staying study buddies in order to maintain helping each other get A's... we decided A's were more important... like the serious school nerds we are.  Plus, the fact that we were discussing having sex like a science experiment was a firm check in the "con" column. So... there goes the one single male connection from school, hence resorting to the interwebs.

Lets just talk about the interwebs for a min... there is something about the anonymity of the internet that makes the pervy guys all the pervier.  I am serious, if I get one more unsolicited picture of someones hairy balls, I might just switch teams.

My theory about the internet is it's an accurate sample of the general population, just concentrated. I have found, in my VAST experience, that while there might seem like there is an inordinate amount of the nutsack senders, it just seems that way because on a dating site, a woman has access to all of them. In a bar, there is probably the same ratio of them to normal dudes, just luckily in a bar, you don't run into all of them, so it seems like a higher ratio then it actually is. Once you weed through them, the majority of guys are really looking for the same thing everyone is... someone to connect with on some level.  Whether it be friends, or more, we are all just looking for someone to share something special with. That being said, the search for that special someone has been PAINFUL! Now, I have embraced the concept, and I have been on ALOT of dates and here is the typical transcript.

Me: "Hi its nice to finally meet you!"
Him: "you too"
Me: "so tell me about your job?"
Him: "I like it"
Me:  "Ok, um, tell me about your family"
Him: "they are nice"
Me: "this is going to be a long night" -(that one is usually internal)

Don't get me wrong some of them have been pretty fun.  Its fun to get all ready and interact with new people, flirt and look pretty and have new experiences! I have had a great time and met some awesome guys, just not awesome for me. That fact sucked for a while, especially when I found out a certain someone was engaged.  That moment was like... "shit, I am losing at breaking up!"  And don't lie, you guys know exactly what I am talking about!  We all want to be the winners when it comes to a break up.  Luckily, in light of new information, I not only won the break up, I won at life!

So going forward... I will keep meeting the mens online for the time being.  But more importantly, I will keep rocking out being awesome at being single!  I seriously love being in a relationship, I am not going to lie, I miss being someones girlfriend.  But you know what I love more?  My independence... It would be great to meet someone to connect with, but I want that... I don't NEED that.  That is seriously the most liberating fact.  I get to do and be whoever I want!  I can pick up and move whenever I want, I can apply to any grad school I want, I can quit my job and go to school full time, I can buy scooters and do zumba and cut my hair as short as I want.  Its kind of great.
