So I'm about a week into this Match.com deal. There really hasn't been much going on with it. I've sent 9 emails or so, 2 people have read the email, looked at my profile, and then decided to do nothing. So basically, this site has just become a new way for me to get rejected. But there have been two positive outcomes so far:
1)I'm fairly confident that I actually want to meet/date a girl. It's been a pretty long time since I've shared mutual interest in anyone, so at times I would think that I may just want to be noticed. Now I'm fairly certain.
2) I don't just want someone who likes everything that I do. Match.com (as well as, I assume, most dating sites) asks you to describe yourself and the potential date. I once thought that if I could find a girl who likes all the snobby/obscure music/films as me, then our compatibility would be a no brainer. I don't think that's the case anymore. Sure, it'd be funny if she has the same La Dolce Vita poster as I do, but is she funny?
As for the title of this post, I've done absolutely no work trying to meet girls in person, on my own. Does it make sense that I think that if I'm putting in some effort online, then I can slack in real life?
I'm going to keep trying with match, but I should probably put in some effort away from the computer, too. I'm trying to make my friend's pregame party on Saturday, where I'll know only him. Maybe I should try to talk to a girl there.
What are the best and worst ice breakers you've heard?
