There is an app for that...  

Posted by Plain Jane in ,

  So.... I am back. I gave up online dating for awhile. I dated a guy in real life for a short time - that guy was a mistake. so I am back, continuing to navigate the waters of online dating. Returning to the scene, I have noticed how many dating apps there are out there. It's slightly disturbing I think.

Match.com is my site of choice. It hasn't yielded me any results. In fact, every massage I have sent out to people has been ignored....no replies. That's got to be a record or something. In order to have the match.com guarantee, I have to email at least 5 people a month. I think I email 5 people a day. I figure the odds are on my side here....but so far, I'm striking out every time. I don't understand it.  Further proof that perhaps my  life is meant to include the nunary.

Facebook has an app for dating. It's called "Lets Date." Based on some pictures and very few facts about a person you say "let's date" or " no thanks." If you both pick the lets date button, you're each notified and you can plan a date. I did get one match from that, but after feeling him out a little via the message system, I am just not to sure about this one. He told me he was fun on the phone. I don't even want to guess what that means.

Of course there is okcupid, which I have been on forever. And zoosk, which I've never tried. if you type in dating in an App Store, it's just ridiculous what pops up. I don't know how I am still single with all these options for dating. Wait.... Yes I do. I do know why. I have standards and with few exceptions most of the guys online are those poor souls who are awkward or nerdy (not in a cute way), or are not attractive (don't call me shallow, it's human nature after all). I don't know what that says about me being online....hmmm.... Whatever.

The things I still love about dating sites is the pictures people use to present themselves. Perhaps they do not understand they are trying to make a good impression on people? I'll try to post a few if I can. 

Welcome back world to my blog. I'm glad to back among the dating and look forwards to chronicling my experience every step of the way!
