Slices of goodness

Ah - Rita - I feel you on the need to squeeze in the MEtime into little windows in between the to-do list. I'm taking more classes than I'm used to this semester and have taken on quite a few big projects so it makes for a full juggling act throughout the day.

I have had slices of MEtime in between studying and projects the past few days... the slices include a yoga class, having some frozen chocolate chips, reading some literotica stories, taking a nap and geeking out with a newly discovered online dating site.

Weird how you can have it in your head that internet dating is disconnected from the real-world and a statement about the lack of human to human connections - and then - flip you can be inspired to change your mind. Thanks to the recommendation of a good friend I have flipped that switch. I bit the bullet and signed up - not thinking much of it. And then I got lots of messages and responses from interesting people in Pittsburgh that I would have never met otherwise. Maybe I should hold my judgment until after I've met people face to face and decide they're not total creeps - but for now it's fun!

I plan on meeting people and hanging out with interesting folks on my terms and becoming more comfortable with letting guys go when the chemistry just isn't there. May the adventure begin!

  1. I've decided to give the online dating one more try. Here are my changes in approach this time around:
    1. Do it with you so we can laugh at the ridiculousness of dating
    2. Don't stop dating in the real world
    3. Don't have more than 3 e-mail exchanges with a guy before meeting up for coffee.
    4. Choose a free site, like the one that you sent to me.
    5. Plan to take a week off from it when you finally come visit me and we rock NYC in March.
