Maybe all this blogging has given me bad Karma?

So, I am in my last month of internet dating and I officially might have to change the title of this blog to 3-date update. (I really didn’t choose 8-date update for any logical reason; I just thought it sounded best!) I feel like the longer you are on these websites the less popular you get. I guess that’s understandable really, considering I don’t know how many duplicate winks I get and I think, k-the first wink got you nowhere buddy, do you really think a double wink is gonna do the trick ; ) ; )

I noticed things were taking a turn for the worst when I processed to have a conversation with “P-TheButcher! Now upon reflection, why in the world would I sink so low as to even think about having a convo with a person whose chosen screen name alludes to the fact that he may or may not mutilate living creatures on a daily basis? Crazy or not I decided I need to either raise my standards or stop all this internet dating all together! I mean come on, how many chicks can one score with that kind of screen name? If he is able to get a date alone with him, she can only have two expectations, this guy chops up livestock for a living or she’s not making it to the end of the date, that’s not the kind of date I look forward to. (Damn Dexter marathons may be getting to me!)

So after contemplating changing MY screen name to A-The Annoyed I decided to add skitzo screen names to my list of men to avoid at all costs. I moved on to guy with a much less serial killeresque screen name and have had a few convo’s with him. He seems great; our first phone convo lasted 2 hours. Unfortunately, I am becoming a bit more cynical and less optimistic about potential man dates then I was at the beginning. In the back of my head I am fully aware that all the pre-date fun can potentially lead to a post-date rejection (by either person) so I am cautiously optimistic, I mean three is my lucky number and they say three times a charm. We shall see if third guy sticks around!

Lesson learned: Proceed with caution. (Especially seeing as though there are guys calling themselves P-TheButcher out there!)
