Let's be honest, most people use online dating the same way they use Facebook, for creepin' people. My shrink suggested I try Match and I did. Of course, I'm still in a relationship with not the best guy but I'm allowed to look. Eyes wander.
Internet dating is not for the faint of heart. I've tried e-Harmony, sadly around the time it was hacked so I deleted that sucker and didn't even get to enjoy the free communication weekends.
Last week, I reopened my Match account after
having it lay dormant for a while. I looked at some of the matches
selected for me and saw the winks and emails roll in. I find that flattering, regardless of how
creepy the person may actually be in reality.
I used to have an AllMSU dating profile too for the sheer fact that I
needed a boost in my self esteem at such a demanding time in my life. My boyfriend and his brother share a mutual
friend that apparently is also online dating.
Kudos for him. I was one of his
matches…or maybe he just came across my profile by searching. I wish I hadn't added those other
pictures. It was not like my profile had
my name or any other unique identifiers.
Bleh! That was a lovely
conversation. Thankfully, I had already
told the significant other that if things don’t shape up I’m shipping out.
Chemisty.com, an off shoot of match had its free communication
weekend last weekend so I made a profile just to check it out. Um EWW!
What is it with creepy men that could be my father sending me messages
and winks when I gave an age range they did not fall into? The other thing that bugs me being a person
of color is that I rarely find a potential mate on those sites that says they
would date an African America in their race preferences. Maybe it’s time to try blackpeoplemeet.com.
