I hate online dating. I really do. I think it’s a fine way to meet people, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it at all. The thing I hate is the dating part. It’s just so unnatural to me because (and maybe I’ve said this before) you meet someone for the first time in a situation that is inherently romantic (a date), and it might take you three or four dates to figure out if you’d even want to be friends with this person, but by then, you’ve been on three or four dates, which technically means that you are dating.

I know that the personality difference is a perfectly valid reason for not being interested. I just wish I had something more concrete (like another relationship in the works) because he seemed really into it. And (and this is terrible), he was also matched with a friend of mine, but he closed the match because he “is pursuing another relationship.” Uhhhh…I really hope that’s not me. What am I supposed to do though? The man was wearing a button-down fish shirt for crying out loud!
