Online Dating...



What's it all about really?

Well, I for one, am not convinced that it really, um, does the trick if you know what I mean. There's all of these match-ratings, but has anyone really done the math to see if it works better than, or at a minimum, as well as bar-hopping? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that bar-hopping is the way to go to meet guys/girls. But that seems to be the popular choice in our society these days.

As for me, I'd really want to meet someone who goes to my church. But, that is like trying to find needle in a haystack! Actually, that's not even an accurate description, because if you're trying to find a needle in a haystack, you know that the needle is in there! I'm not so sure there's any single 20-somethings attending my church. That's right...I'm convinced the male Gen-Xers have abandoned the Church entirely.

Back to online dating though. I have a profile on one of those coupling databases, but not a whole lot happening there. I do have one friend...so I can't say it's entirely pointless. If I didn't, I might get to the point where I'd believe that there was something wrong with me--like I'm not kew-L or something. I don't really think I can put myself in the 'ugly' category either, but I guess there's always another person's opinion.

Anyhow, if you know what I'm talking about, send a comment, a shout-out, an 'amen!,' or a 'you're totally wrong JOY!'...whatever you think, let me know! I'm curious. I'm starting my own polling here. I want success stories, horror stories, or 'it just didn't work out' stories.

We'll get to the bottom of this online dating thing soon enough!
