Intro

Welcome to my blog. A little over a month ago, I entered into the intriguing world of online dating. At one point in time, finding a mate on the internet was taboo, but now it is becoming more common. Since I have embarked on this digital dating journey, I have heard from at least ten different people that their friends or family members met on a dating site and are either still dating or are married. 


How did we get to this? I remember the days of writing notes in pretty pink ink, folding them up in some creative way, misting some fruity smelling body spray on it and handing it to my crush while passing him in the hall. Then, chat rooms came around. You can't exactly spray your favorite Bath and Body Works scent on a chat room (although, I am sure that smells coming from your laptop will be a thing of the future). I guess I am not that much of a stranger to the world of internet dating because I met my first  in an AOL chat room. Yup, 14 year old Sandra and her 14 year old best friend posing as 17 year old hotties (hell, we were hot and could totally pull off 17). Next thing I know, I am dating a boy who lives a half an hour away whom I would have never met if I wasn't in that chat room at that time. We were together for over two years, I lost my virginity to him, and we are still friends to this very day. 


Here I am, a decade later, trying to find Mr.Right on an internet dating site. Don't get me wrong, I have had my fair share of relationship that didn't start over the net, but we have all heard the saying about "plenty of fish on the sea". However, I think it depends on how big the sea is that you are fishing in. If you keep looking to meet someone in a bar, at the gym, or a coffee shop, that isn't much of a sea at all....its more like fishing in a pond!! Why settle for less when there is so much out there?


Anyhow, I decided to start this blog to inform and entertain. For those of you who are thinking about or already are on a dating site, I want to share my stories with you and give you some advice. It kills me the amount of guys that don't have a clue and I have heard from my dates that some of the women are the same. If you are already in a relationship, just live vicariously through me. Either way, I hope you will be captivated, inspired, or maybe just tickled.
