The Dating Game

(Part I)

I recently joined a popular dating site. Reluctantly. I felt I'm so desperate. The truth? I am! But I don't want anyone to know that. Then a colleague told me that's how she met her wonderful husband. And that got me thinking. She's happily married to this wonderful man. And maybe, just maybe, I'll meet a wonderful man, too. So I joined and reluctantly paid a month of subscription. Just a month. Just a trial. We'll see what happens.

Wow. For just under 24 hours, I had so many likes and winks from men who are interested in me. I got several emails. In the beginning, I tried to reply to all the emails. I thought that was the right thing to do. I confided to my younger friends and found out I don't to have answer all the emails. Just those ones I like. Okay, that was easier. I almost got stressed answering all of them. So I sat down and really looked at all the profiles who emailed me. I found two profiles out of ten that I really find interesting. And went from there.

In short, I got two dates right off the bat.
