Two in one day? Crazy.

That's right. I e-mailed two different guys in one day and a total of three this week. After my successful date with Greg, I was feeling a little more confident with this whole online dating thing, so on Monday I messaged I guy I've been thinking about messaging for months. However, right after I pressed 'send' I noticed on his profile that he hadn't logged into the site for over a month; in other words, I'm not surprised I've not heard back from him.

My dating site claims that October is Ladies Month, and as such, we women should take the initiative to message guys in whom we're interested. It's not that I haven't done that before, but I've decided that I should be a little more gung-ho about this whole thing. Anyhoo, on Friday, I wrote to two different guys and I actually got a response from one of them, who, for the time being I'll call Luke. Hooray! We've now exchanged a few messages so maybe something will come of it.

Finally, here's today's ridiculous profile bit: "I am so tired of writing these damn things. No one really cares anyway, right? I know most of you girls just care about the pictures anyway, and I know that in that department I'm not particularly impressive. As my screen-name would suggest, I'm a huge film geek. Yeah, that's right, a geek. If you don't geek out about something, then quite frankly, you are boring."

Apparently Bahrain is near California…

Each week I get an e-mail from the dating site letting me know about new users in my area; I usually ignore them as I am on the site so often that I generally know about newbies. This week, however, I decided to check it out. Imagine my surprise when the first of the five people listed is someone from Bahrain. Yes, the small island nation in the Persian Gulf. Strange…

In other news, I've messaged a few guys and have heard back from a couple. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to actually e-mail them back. I plan to soon though, as I have the whole summer off from work and would like to try the dating thing when I have the time.

More soon… promise.

What's with the messages all of a sudden?

So first it was Florida, then it was a bunch of other random guys—mostly from here, but a few farther flung. Then there's the guy who's from Denmark but of Turkish ancestry who's now living in my hometown. Regardless of location, however, they all seem keen on getting to know me. Which is great except for one thing:

I have no time right now. I am so busy with work, concerts (singing in them), standardized tests, and oodles of other things, that I can barely remember to contact my parents, let alone a new guy who sounds vaguely appealing. And that's just it. None of these guys has been someone I had previously found attractive on the site. Perhaps that's a good thing. Fresh blood, that sort of thing. The fact of the matter is, however, that none of them has sounded good enough for me to want to compose something witty and interesting in response. Perhaps at the end of next week, when things have settled down a little bit, I'll be more inclined to get to know one or more of these guys. Until then, they—and you, dear readers—should not expect much from me.
