I'm Not Online Dating

Dear friends,

Stop with the dating sites. I will not get on one of those ever ever ever. I think it's fine that you want to, and I have nothing against them per se, but they just aren't for me. I don't care that I'm single. I like being single, whether anyone believes that or not. I can do what I want when I want who I want how I want and I don't have to check in with anyone.

If I went on a dating site that would imply that I want to date. I most definitely do not want to do that. Dating is boring and my time is usually better spent catching up on my TiVo or reading a book. I somehow manage to meet guys anyway.

Don't get me wrong. Any guy out there who I have met in an organic way and wants to ask me out, please feel free. It's these forced dates that I take issue with. If I don't know what you look like then I probably don't want to go. My problem is that I'm great on a first date and awful on a second. I'm actually a very boring person who just hides it really well.

So friends, although I may whine about guys occasionally, that is not a sign that I should go onto Match.com or any other dating site. I'm simply venting, not looking. And as much as I am legitimately interested in hearing about the guys that you're meeting and dating on these sites, I absolutely refuse to register for a site simply to see what your guy looks like. Cut and paste.

Please don't feel that you have to stop talking about your guys. I love hearing dating horror stories, I just don't want them to be mine. Not that I can even think of the last date I went on. But that doesn't mean I'm going on a dating site. So stop subtly suggesting.

Thanks.
