Just The Tip Please

Since we are on the subject of online dating I figured I would write another blog about this site.  When I first signed up, I received on average 10 emails a day, and slowly weaned out the old men, 19 year olds, and sketchy men that were amongst the batch.  Typical online dating.  After all was said and done, there was one guy, I was interested in.  So the night had come and the anticipation of seeing my date in person was at an all time high.  Standing on the street corner I anxiously and impatiently waited for my date, I waited……and waited, and got to thinking, this is the most nerve wracking part about online dating!  We know we have a lot in common, and get along great online, but this is the ultimate test.

Every guy that passed me I thought ‘Is that him?  No…there he is?  Ohhh he’s cuter than I thought….oh still not him.  Okay this guy is definitely him, tall, blonde, cute, it’s him…oh god what if he sees me and doesn’t like what he sees and pretends he’s not meeting me?  Is he really walking by me….OH MY GOD I HATE DATING!!!!!  Oh that wasn’t him.’  I am instantly over the anxiety of standing on a street corner, to meet some guy I don’t know who may not like me, who may not look like his picture, who is a good 15 minutes late….UGH!!!!  But then, ‘Oh here he comes, this has to be him.  Yup it’s him, he’s coming this way!!!  He’s a lot cuter than his picture maybe this won’t be so bad??’  Then he opened his mouth…and I was wishing he had just walked by me, because the other thing I hate about dating is being on a bad date.  Live and learn – next time I’ll be sure to talk to the guy on the phone before meeting him in person.  Mess.
