I love my mom and I know she means well but she has this habit of every so often practically begging me to go back onto dating websites. Ok, let me re-phrase that.... She has this habit of asking me to go back onto jdate. She wants me to find someone and get married (bonus if they are Jewish) but I don't want to find someone online.
It's not that I am opposed to meeting someone online. It is more that I am an old-fashioned girl. I would rather see someone face-to-face and *BOOM* sparks fly we go out and eventually we have a great story to tell people one day. I have been on various dating sites and have had little to no luck. There are so many guys on those sites that message me looking for sex and just sex. I am not saying all of them are that way, I am just saying that everyone that seems to want to talk to me end up asking when we can meet and "hook up" or various other things.
When it comes to relationships, I want something a little more romantic than someone texting me asking when we are gonna "hang." I am also very tired of the bar scene. Yes I do go to bars but I do not go there to meet guys. I go there to hang out with my friends. I don't know what it is but I just want something else.
I am very tired of hearing about so-and-so's daughter who met her husband/boyfriend/fiance/significant other on [insert various dating site].com and how happy they are. Maybe I am scared of being one of those people who meets someone online and they end up being slaughtered by some serial killer or the person is totally crazy. Or maybe (with my luck) I will meet someone online and we will hit it off online but when we finally go out, it is a total disaster... Oh wait, that one has happened already...
Or maybe it is partly because there is one guy I really like. I know it will never happen but I can't seem to get over him. I have tried and tried to not think about him but he is adorable and sweet and funny and I know deep down a good person who has had a tough ride and is just trying to take things as they come even if he doesn't like it. He is a guy who every once in a while can say something so right that makes me feel so special or something so totally wrong (and/or stupid) but I know he is just trying to be himself and I am crazy about all of it. I fell for a guy who just wants to laugh and make others laugh.
Man I hate being old fashioned.... I don't want to find someone online, I want the guy I like.... dammit, I need to go log on to some dating site and find a date ASAP.....
Yes mom, you were right.....
