Plastered on the internet........

Much to my dismay, I have once again signed on to yet another dating site. I hate these sites for many reasons. I have managed to have one coffee date with someone I did not want to see again, and 3 dates with someone whom I did not want to see again, and I believe he did not want to see me again. (me crying on his back deck, might have been the deal breaker!)
But, not knowing what else to do, I signed up on a new one I had never heard of. As I look through the many pictures of people just as desperate as I, I get that same sick feeling. We are all plastering ourselves on the internet in hopes of something happening, yet most of us don't have the nerve to make anything happen.
Three people sent notice "they were interested" ( a nifty little tool that allows you to show interest without saying anything) I read their profiles and realize they are probally not for me. I sent out 2 interest notifications and two e-mails and have yet to hear back. I used to think I wasn't of interest to people, but I'm starting to think people just don't have the nerve to take the next step. It's not like meeting someone in person. You are being "viewed" by people online and it's just weird.
But, I have decided a bad date or two is probablly better than no date. It breaks the cycle and maybe will start the ball rolling. I don't know.
And as long as your face is plastered on the internet for someone to see there is always hope.....
I really would hate to have to say someday, "we met online" I would much rather say "we met in line at Starbucks, and it just went from there" but a girl has to do what a girl has to do, regarless of how much she hate the process.
