dreamergrl Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 So, of course since I'm in a new town and all, back in the dating scene, I activated my dating profile again. So last night, I was on the prowl... and there was this very attractive and smart guy on there. We're talking and talking. Then out of no where, he goes.. "Honestly, I think 1 out of every 100 people on here might be worth knowing". I asked him what he was doing on there if that's what he really though. He then proceeds to tell me he's doing a research project, he has a girlfriend, and that's about it. Well of course I hit delete. I'm no one's research. Grant it, I'm having fun dating, but this kind of irritated me.

I'd be irritated too, but forget about it, its nothing worth getting upset about.
Author dreamergrl Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 But he was my one and only ... I'm going to cry ... Okay.. not really. Nah, I'm not upset... but I do find it irritated to have wasted my time talking to someone, then to find out they aren't even on there for the reasons you'd think.

That's the downer about those websites: you never know who you are dealing with on the other side of the monitor. You also have to be careful with the employees of the website who will start talking to random people just to keep their hopes and interest up, which in turn causes them to renew their subscription.

Good thing on that site, I don't pay. Only one of the two people talking have to be a paid member.

carhill Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 What if I spent a ton of time and emotion and support and empathy typing out a post to help you (generic 'you') with your problem here on LS and found out you really didn't care and were just bored? Wait, has that happened to me at least 100 times here? Think of it this way. Until you press flesh, it's just electrons. Charged particles in space. Cosmic dust. Get my drift? I can empathize with your annoyance. Go for a walk in the beautiful Colorado dusk and forget all about it. You're in God's country there. I've got friends in Springs and Golden and look forward to every visit. I might even look at a lady or two the next time
