As I was just sitting here listening to love songs and checking my email, I decided to login to the online dating site Match.com and see who was listed as my potential matches. There were quite a few nice women, but I don't think I will be signing up again anytime soon. I suppose my past experience with the site has spoiled it for me. I'll explain:

When I was a member in the past, I sent out a fifty to a hundred emails to different women, and even though I asked them to write me back to at least tell me they weren't interested, I only received about two replies . . . one said she wasn't interested, and the other said she was. So, I pursed the one via email external to Match, and what I found out after a few emails was that she wasn't in Minnesota as she claimed, but instead was in Nigeria. As it turns out, she was a scam artist trying to get money from me. In fact, it might not have been a woman at all, just a bunch of men (criminals) sitting around a computer. After that I left Match and haven't been back. I was thinking of trying it out again, but I realize I'm not the kind of guy who does well on such a format.

I'm still going to be looking for love where it comes, but I don't think it will be on the internet. I'm laughing right now thinking about how awkward it would be if I actually got a date; it has been so long since I've dated that I don't remember how it is done (well, it is almost that bad).
