I haven't forgotten that I'm supposed to be online dating. I apologize for my tardiness, I know you are all waiting patiently for my online exploits and I do not like to disappoint. So, here goes. OK, I'm doing it. I'm up and running, I'm looking at people, they are looking at me. I am getting messages — I have yet to send any messages though. How do I turn people down? Do I just not respond? Or do I act coy? Or do I flat out say I'm not interested? I don't want to hurt anyone, virtually or otherwise, what is the etiquette? And what if I am interested in someone that messages me? What do I say back? Do we meet right away or do we chat a bit. I'm not getting any younger you know. I've already made a few errors, such as clicking on the 'meet me' feature, which allows you to, I thought, give the site a better idea of your 'type' but really sends messages to the people that you deem 'attractive' — Sneaky. I know this because when my picture came up in this 'meet me' feature, I, of course gave my gorgeous mug the highest accolades and then got an email saying I wanted to meet me. I feel like in the real world, when meeting people, if I fuck up I can say 'sorry, I fucked up'. But here, there is no one to listen. I guess I could change my user name to 'sorry_I_fucked_up', but I have a feeling it's taken.
