I'm breaking up with internet dating. With Jdate in particluar. Seriously. So done. I've now met over the internet several guys who exist only as IM names and nothing more. No developed personalities. Nothing. Unfortunately, the one guy who actually wanted to take me out was just that. An undeveloped personality. He asked me out. Spoke to me almost everyday and then after our date, nothing. Well, at least now I know why he doesn't have a girlfriend. Stanford of Sex and the City said it best when he told Carrie, "I've been rejected by someone I wasn't interested in. I hate that."
Then, I talk to someone else and he lays it on me that he doesn't want to date for dating's sake; he only wants to meet someone for a serious relationship. I was like, uh sure, dude. Does he really think he can go into something with an outlook like that? Things have to evolve. You can't have those expectations going in or you'll always be disappointed.
Another guy wanted to take me out, called me the night before to cancel...then I didn't hear from him until he tried IMing me again. And I was like 'Oh, no. You've had your chance.'
Then, I IM this guy tonight and the only thing he asks me was my profile name. He looks at it. Then says 'Sorry, not interested.' You've got be kidding. Half of me was like, ok well it's better that he told me but the other half was like, well how do you know you're not interested? Reading someone's profile is like reading their resume. It tells you carefully selected snippets about them, snippets that are meant to be appealing. How can you know you're not interested if you refuse to even speak to someone since you, in all fairness, know nothing about them.
Seriously. So breaking up.
