Maybe "Mystery" is right about this whole online dating thing.Online dating is a waste of time. You spend 1-2 weeks talking through emails, instant messenger, text messaging by cell phone and then maybe if you're lucky; talking on the phone. When you finally meet for that face to face more often than not it turns up to be a total disappointment. Photos are outdated, deceiving (working the angles, blurry and often hiding much of the face). So when you do meet face to face, it's the process of trying to get to know them all over again. Mystery advises against online dating. The face to face is a better method in his opinion.

I do agree that physical attraction is important but it I could end up being really attracted to a man in a face to face meeting, only to discover an hour later we have very different religious views etc.

Somehow online dating doesn't seem to be any better for me. Sure it's convenient since I am short on time these days but I seem to still interact with these men online the same way as usual and I am still somehow scaring them off. I think the latest  interest got scared off when he asked for my Myspace account. I gave him the link since I have nothing to hide but perhaps my page was a bit much for him. I personally see nothing wrong with it. Maybe he thinks it's unhealthy that I seem to worship Orlando Bloom. Or maybe he fears he couldn't live up to Mr. Bloom. Whatever the case may be, I have scared off another man without even opening my mouth much. he seemed like a good match for me too. Yea so he did live about 4 hours away but oh well. For the right person I would make the drive!

Maybe all this is is yet another confirmation from God that He doesn't intend me to date right now. *shrugs*
