online dating
i wish i had more dating stories to share. i really do. but nothing too exciting has happened of late. every now again, like once or twice a year, i get an urge to rekindle my online dating romance. as time goes on, those urges spread furthur and furthur apart. i have never once had any success using that method. usually what ends up happening is i get annoyed with it after 2 weeks and quit. i scroll through the profiles and those that look normal are all of a sudden m.i.a. and what's left are those that fit that "mold." you know which one. well, maybe you don't cause most of you are married and haven't experience the joys of online dating. but, you can imagine. it's like a saturday night dance of awkwardness all fit into one little online black book. where all you have is one tiny picture and a few word sentences. usually if a picture catches my eye, the paragraph doesn't. or vice versa. i hate to be apart of such a shallow introduction, but what else do we have? so i'm sitting tonight, minding my own business and the thought pops into my mind out of nowhere. maybe i should try....again....for the 10th time. and i try to ignore it. but then i wonder if it pops in my head for a reason. so maybe i'll pursue it, and possibly produce a few funny quips to share {or ignore it completely} what would you do?

DO IT!!! I have a good friend who was single for little longer than the usual "mormon mold". Her attitude was that she wasn't going to pass up any opportunity because you never know what could come of it.
Besides, if nothing else, you might come out of it with some good laughs. I love hearing awkward dating stories. If you end up with any of those... please do share :)
I tried the online dating thing and only got scammers. It was so dumb. But I have friends who have found their eternal partners online and loved it. If you are prompted to do it at least give it another try. Hope is the greatest gift we can have. Just chatting at first will eventually show their true colors. sometimes it does turn out wonderful. Just be smart and pray.
I say go for it! What can it hurt? You may just be inspired.... :)
I went through the same thought process as you, and even today, I still kind of die inside when I think of my online dating experiences. But I think if I were still single I would be continuing that cycle of trying it now and again. Most of the time it was the only thing I could do.
I always liked when people would set me up because I didn't have to make any effort. Do you like that? If so, I'll be on the lookout for you. :-)
I say do it. My brother found his wife that way.
