Online Personals Part 1 of ? So, tonight was the first night that I ventured onto an online dating site. A lot of my gay friends are always constantly on it, telling me that they are always meeting new friends and people using the sites. I went on a couple of times before and found it nothing worth while. As well, I used to watch my friend chat on the site, and it was like an absolute meat market. The first thing that comes across the wire is "STATS..." and then you're supposed to enter all your physical measurements. How lame. LOL

Anyway, I thought I would give it a try, but to not actually use it as the sex alley. Rather, I decided that I was going to use the experience as a way to see whether I was socially retarded when it came to dealing with carrying on a conversation when slight faint smell of romance is thrown in the mix. I took a better picture of myself, and posted it. I made my personal semi-interesting and submitted my obligatory "About me" life story. Fun times.

I got quite a couple of PMs in the first few minutes. Quite interesting to say the least. I got into a couple of conversations with some of them and added a handful to an e-mail account that I could keep in touch with. The lesson was that I managed to carry on a decent conversation, being somewhat of interest to the other person. So, I guess the next step would be actually doing a face to face conversation when I meet somebody of interest.

I'll keep you updated as things progress.  ¶ 9:52 PM
