Being one of the (very) few single girls left in my circle of friends, my attached girlfriends are constantly trying to set me up with a guy they know "who would be perfect" for me. It never works. So far, I've met Sir Lies-About-His-Age, Mr. Jokes-Are-All-I-Know and Stand-Me-Up Guy #1.
The latest "perfect guy" has been brought to my attention by one of my best friends. I actually met him once, casually. He was cute and he seemed nice enough, but that was it. Last week I received and email from her, telling me how amazing he is, how much we have in common, how perfect we'd be together and a link to his blog. So, I checked it out.....If he's half a good as his writing is, I'd propose tomorrow. I've read so much of it, I think I've developed a bit of an e-crush. (Ugh, that sounds so much less lame in my head....)
So, now I visit the blog regularly to read his poetry and check out his art -- it's all pretty friggin' fantastic. If I had found his blog organically, I'd happily comment on all the fantastic-ness I'd stumbled across....but I feel like, somehow, my comments could get traced back to me. Not 'The Single Chick' me, but the real single chick who lives outside of cyberspace. So I don't comment. I visit and I don't comment and I take in his art.
And feel like an online, alter-ego stalker.
Damn.....maybe this is why I'm single.
Until next time,
The Single Chick
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SITS. Isn't it funny the new awkwardness that technology brings to dating these days?
I have a friend who is a single mom as well and i'm always amazed at how much of her interaction with people she meets on dating sites occurs via text.
And then of course there's always the temptation to google someone as if you're performing a background check for entry into the FBI.
Good luck with your journey. I can tell it's an entertaining one. :-)
Aww!! Visiting from sits & the UK! Some very good friends of mine which I happened to meet via blogging met via blogging themselves and got married etc.. I wonder if I will be reading the same kind story here a few years on? :) Am following now!
