Couldn't look less like me..
As a serial monogamous, I really have no idea how to date. I don't know if I have ever been out on a date with a stranger. Hmm..the only one I can think of was the start of my last long relationship and that was on Drag Queen Bingo Night. I'm talking about the kind of date that involves a fancy restaurant with food I don't really want to eat and awkward small talk. Ugh. I do, however, think that it is important to date lots of people, even just to meet and become friends. That being said, it sucks. If I didn't care, I would sit home, order pizza, and watch episode after episode of 24. I will never meet anyone like that! My dream of locking eyes with a cute 20 to 30-something while ordering a sugar-free vanilla soy Chai is slowly vanishing.
To make a long story short, I joined a liberal dating website. (I thought about what was MOST important to me, and similar morals are it-IE no Bush lovers!) It is so scary because these people are total strangers! Even if I follow all of the rules, like going out in a public place, how do I know when it is safe to be alone? How I know when this person is safe at all? Do these things REALLY work?
OK, I am getting ahead of myself. First, I made a profile. Here are some things I included (that are honest):
1. I love to read and write.
2. I am 5'4."
3. I live in NYC.
4. I am a Libra.
5. I am a vegetarian.
6. I go to school.
Here are some things I didn't say (but are honest):
1. I can take 3 hours to get ready.
2. Although I love to read, I mostly read chic lit, crime novels, or Glamour.
3. I am 5'3 1/2."
4. I will complain every time I smell meat.
5. I go to school and have at least 2 other jobs.
6. Did I mention I was a little high maintenance?
7. I don't do outdoors.
8. I have issues with Taurus'.
9. I listen to Hilary Duff and watch Saved by the Bell every morning.
10. I want to see other countries but traveling scares me.
I wouldn't even want to date me! What would your profile look like? I already have 3 "winks!"
