Back to the website...

July 24, 2012

So when life doesn’t work you figure it out right? That’s what I am doing. Back to the dating website. If it was as easy as 1, 2, 3 then everyone would be married. I just logged in and I have 3 winks, 10 people interested in me, 11 emails, and 9 matches. I am going in with some thicker skin. If I don’t like I’m going to stop worrying about hurting feelings. I’m a tad discouraged. I mean I feel like Mr. Chemistry was a flop what if all these guys are flops?

All the wink people are going to be NO THANKS! Sorry but no thanks I’m in this for love boys and I’m getting inpatient.

Ok so one of my matches is cute so I am feeling ballsey and wrote this…

Hey,

You seem really fun so I thought I would email you. What do you teach?

Emily

What do I really have to lose.

So Mr. OU emailed me like 2 weeks ago…

RE:

I wonder if the craigslist killer was on match too? Haha. I was just talking to my buddies who I bartended with at ou, and we decided to drop all of our jobs, move back to OU, run and eventually buy out Pawpurrs, and sell pot as a 2nd income! Sounds like a plan, haha. (I don't do drugs). Id definitely like to meet up sometime. What's ur normal schedule like? Mines pretty crazy rest of this week.

He is funny and chill. Much needed that is forsure. And I don’t care if you feel like selling drugs but don’t be late to a date with me and my friends because you are too busy doing drugs. Because apparently people these days pick drinking over dates…. Grrrrrrr.

So weirdo just emailed me and said “cute, nice smile.” Is this a toddlers and tiaras competition? Cute? Nice smile? What the hell do you want me to do with that? I feel like that is just a stupid email. Say something with substance. You are weird. Maybe I get the nice smile award…what a freak with a crazy ass looking smile. NEXT!

OMG MR> WEIGHT LIFTER! I am so happy you are back in my online dating website life. You are a much needed light at the end of the tunnel. You do laundry and go grocery shopping on Sundays. You would never show up drunk to a movie. At least I hope not.

RE: Subject

Hey E :)

Sorry it has taken me forever to get back to you, after helping my brother move, I've started rennovation on my place. It's been pretty time consuming, but I've just been trying to get it done after I get off work in the evenings, and then on the weekends.

How's your weekend going?

How was the wedding?

You seem really nice and I think we are looking for a lot of the same things, and we both seem to be pretty busy, so if just wanna text me instead of writing me on here my number is ********.

Talk to you soon,

My Response:

Mr. Weight Lifter,

Im so happy to hear from you. Sorry I have not checked my email in a while either. Renovating the place eh? Good for you. The crazy wedding weekends have been good. I think you are right, we are looking for a lot of the same stuff in a person. I will text you soon. :)

OMG this might be exactly what the online dating doctor ordered. Maybe I need to start fresh. Wipe Mr. Chemistry and his immature ways away. Mr. Weight Lifter you might be just the guy to lift the disappointed weight off my shoulders.

Shit… Mr. FellowOU had emailed me again…I feel like an ass. I didn’t get on this thing in 2 weeks because I was fraternizing with an idiot.

His email:

RE:

Hey e...hope you had a great weekend. Wondering if u were still down to grab some food/drinks sometime this week?

I see that he has emailed me a third time so I should probably wait to respond…I’m an ass.

ello. How are you? Seems as though we enjoy th...

Hello. How are you? Seems as though we enjoy the same things in life and would get along well...Hopefully you feel the same and we can chat soon.

Sorry nerd, I don’t feel the same way so the chatting is done…

So this is forward and weird…

Hey smiley

Hey there, Smiley,

I saw you in my daily matches and saw thought you were too pretty and full of that natural smile and I just had to write to say hi.

I'm just setting down in East Walnut Hills. Which I'm told is suggestive that I have a one block buffer from the ghetto. I think it's a nice place and really like feeling settled. Summers off sounds like such a good plan. Maybe next year I'll plan on getting fired in June then ask for my job back in September.\

So what have you been doing with your time off? Even with a month to go does it feel like your on a countdown?

Later, pretty lady

I gave this no response.

So Mr. FellowOU wrote for the third time:

His email:

RE:

Hey e. Hope you're doing well! Hope to hear back soon.

My response:

Hey,

Sorry I haven’t checked email for like 2 weeks. I have been SUPER busy. How have things been?

E

I mean I feel a little worn out and maybe over the process?!? I don’t know…I don't really know if I am excited about anything right now but I can't really figure it out. I didn't really think Mr. Chemistry was right for me and I had plenty of doubts but why am I feeling slightly sad about it? Maybe because the attention is going to go away? Maybe because it makes me feel inadequate? Whatever it is I'm bugged by it.
