A few friends (including my former boss) all decided to sign up for eHarmony together. (Cringe!) I was so against it for the longest time...at first, it seemed like an admission of defeat. It was like saying, "Yep, it's official. I can't meet people the normal way because I'm THAT much of a loser...guess I'll resort to meeting people online." But surprisingly...it was a TON of fun and I really enjoyed it. Ok, scratch that. It was fun for about 3 weeks, then just became a hassle and an annoyance. But for those few weeks, I went on a ridiculous amount of dates, met some very cool, interesting people (had some strange experiences as well), and it really helped clarify what I'm looking for in someone. But it became more of a chore than anything...when you go on that many dates, it isn't fun anymore, it's an obligation. However, I DID meet a really great guy who I've been seeing for about a month and a half now. :) Smitten.
I (mostly) got over my embarrassment about the online dating thing - especially after seeing that 95% of the people who do it are perfectly normal, non-desperate, sociable, and generally pretty attractive...not the unemployed 35 year olds living in their moms' basements who play World of Warcraft all day with Cheetoh dust on their wifebeater-covered beer bellies that I had pictured. Thank the LORD.
