Let the games begin!

Fuck!

So now I can finally start writing about this online dating experience-thing.

So far, I've been a "paying" member for about 2.5 weeks.

During this time, I have sent out approximately 53 "winks" (I'll define those in a minute) and 15 emails to women.
So what are these "winks"? Basically, they're like an "ice-breaker" for conversation. They allow you to let the other person know, that you might be interested in them. If you wink at someone and they wink back, it might be a good sign!
* A note on the winks though...as I've come to find out, there are by far, more men than women on this website. This means that the women are getting, literally, up to hundreds of winks a day! They're probably not going to pay attention to them! This is a "con" of the online dating agenda.

So out of those 53 winks that I've sent so far, I've received two (2) winks back.

I've sent 15 emails and received six back...two were probably spam (as the girls didn't have any photos/full profile).

The excerpt below was one of the first replies that I got (Day Two of signing up). I really like what this girl had to say. Dig it:

"I liked your profile but one really big problem.... you are way too short for me. I'm 5'11''. Too bad we seem like we'd have stuff in common but I really don't wish to date anyone shorter than 5'9''. Take care, good luck and thanks for the wink!"
- "Girl A" (names are withheld in this blog!)

Isn't that funny? I mean...yeah, I'm short, but I certainly wouldn't have a problem dating a taller woman. Superficial? Demeaning? Discriminating? Yes. But hey...this is something that I already knew. Girls prefer not to date short guys (even if they're not shorter than they are)! Strike One!

However, I did also get another email from "Girl B" (also Day Two):

"hey... i don't want you to think i'm blowing you off so i just wanted to say that i got your email and i will write more back later.. or you can write me on my email and i get that on my phone so i can respond back instantly..."
- "Girl B"

Sounds positive, right?

So, at this time, "Girl B" and I have been talking via email (and now texting) for the past 2.5 weeks.
Granted, these electronic communications have been short...which is kind of nice, but at the same time, non-conducive.

At this time, I'm a little unsure if I still want to pursue the communication with this one girl. She seems like a nice girl, but there may been a little bit of conflict with our levels of maturity. She's seven years younger than me, which I really don't have a problem with, if it weren't with the other things that seem to follow along with being "young."
Things that I know about her are that she likes to drink (a lot) - which is cool, 'cause I like to drink too, but she seems to do this a lot, all week long. I party on the weekends. I'm "old."
She just got a new car. The day after she got the new car, she got pulled over and given a sobriety test - which she passed! Good, right? Hmm...
She doesn't have any college-level education (her spelling/grammar are, well, pretty awful - I haven't included some of her other short-emails), which is something that I look for in a partner...too much, right? Am I now discriminating? She does have a job as a cosmetologist though.

I feel as though I might be digressing, but anyhow, last week, I get this email from her...late at night...and it says:

"so... I have to ask are we ever going to meet or talk on the phone or we just going to keep talking via email?"
- "Girl B"

Straightforward...a girl who says what she thinks...

So she's getting tired of this email game, right? Hey...I'm just trying to play it cool. Remember my first/worst online dating experience?

So today, texting...she's sick, says she's going to the doctor...and I'm thinking that I should probably go ahead and call her tonight...and that's where I'm at now.

But wait!

I forgot to mention that during our little conversations, we find out that we both live in the same area. When I say "same," I mean this girl might live in my friggin' complex! Now that, would be weird...

I mean, do I really want to date someone that lives in the same complex as I do? Would I have any "me" time? What if it didn't work out? Fuck.

So the evening is here...I'm hungry and want to eat. I'll have some dinner and than decide if I'm going to call this girl tonight.

Blah-g....
