I am now doing online dating. A woman made contact with me with a nice email. I checked out her profile. Her pictures are OK, but I am seeing the possibility that she could be much cuter in person. She isn't quite the type I usually go for. I'm not sure I would have reached out to her unsolicited to be blunt.

 

Yet I wrote her back, and I am calling her tomorrow. My thinking is, there is a real chance that this woman could be great--could be--and so why not give it a shot. I'm NOT going to sleep with her if I am not feeling it with her.

 

I don't think meeting up with someone if I am not sure whether I am feeling it makes me a *ahem* jerk. My understanding is that what dating is for.

Whatever works for you.

 

Ive been giving chicks I havent been entirely into a "chance" every since I broke up with my first girlfriend at 18. It wasnt too long ago that I decided to simply shoot for exactly what I want and stop wasting my time on women who dont exactly do it for me. Especially after the drama I put up with in the fall from this one girl.

 

I guess I just would rather not waste the rest of my time being single on people Im simply giving "chances" to. Because I generally know right from the start, where things are headed. From now on, Im not giving "chances". Im either all in on or Im all out. Im either trying to date a chick seriously or Im simply dating her casually and thats it. I always know how I feel about them in my guy at the beginning...but something always kept me giving out "chances" to like them more. Live and learn.

 

The "will they, wont they" in-between crap is tiring.

I hear you and I don't disagree with that viewpoint. But we are talking online dating. This is a crucial detail because there is so much you don't know until you are in person with someone. A women can look a good few points hotter face-to-face than she does in her pictures for one thing.
