Where to meet guys: Part 2: Online

Spring break is over, so I haven't had much time to frolic around looking for guys, so I took the easy way out. The second approach to meeting guys that I am taking is dating websites.

A little history:

I went on match.com in October right after me and my ex broke up. I needed a distraction or in other words, a rebound. Match.com probably wasn't the right dating website for a rebound (I found out later there are plenty of better sites for that). Match.com was definitely the most positive experience I have had online dating. The guys were not creepy (most of them) and they all had their shit together. I even hung out with one guy I met on match a few times, until I discovered that I wasn't ready for anything serious. Like I said, I was looking for a rebound.

What I learned in that situation that when you join match.com or e-harmony (a paid dating service) you need to be serious about finding someone. You also need to have the time to dedicate to going on dates, messaging, and meeting people. The timing just wasn't right for, but I think if you put in the effort online dating truly deserves, you could definitley meet your future husband.

Recently, I spent way too much money on spring clothes, so I have resorted to the free online dating sites.

Free Online dating.....woof.

In a previous blog, I told some horror stories about how I got sent a dick pic and things that really made me sick about some of the messages I got. However, I decided to give it another go and try Okcupid this time instead of Plenty of Fish.

Here are some of the messages I got:

You laugh at everything? So if you could pick which hyena to be in the lion king, which one would it be?

Ummmm....wtf???

hey there! let's hang sometime;) would love to hear your story...in person;)

Booty call?????? Cool..

Damn. Why are you on this site? You are too beautiful.

I already talked about this one in a previous blog. This is not a compliment. You suck.

I can't say that I have had the most positive experience with online dating, but I do think that the more credible sites such as match.com and e-harmony would really work if you are willing to put blood, sweat, and tears into finding the one. Maybe once I rack up some money, I will re-invest.


This week, I am thinking of trying to creep on men at the gym, the grocery store, and at a parade. Any suggestions, let me know!

  1. I think the health food store is a great place to meet guys and you can always ask them questions about the stuff. On online dating I think it has it's creeps just like real life you just have to weed them out but it doesn't mean good guys don't exist.

  2. Some people might think online dating is total failure. But like it or not it's becoming the perfect solution for people like me who don't have enough time to socialize. Try globogirls.com it's really cool. So If you are having trouble dating in your hometown or in your native language, then you might want to look at other parts of the world and delve into travel dating for a change. Globogirls.com will give you the chance to see what other worlds and other cultures have to offer. Plus, you will get to learn brand new languages and really get to be with the kind of people that you used to just adore from afar. If you want, you can also opt to see London with one person, go to Berlin with another and visit Paris with somebody completely different. The options are endless!
