Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

If I do I'm pretty durn clueless about it :/

That's sort of how it is too!

Tryna do this again. Except now in the hometown.

My account name now says I am somewhere I am not.

Mine too, but I'm actually ok with that. It's a roots thing I guess.

i hate this site. i'm erasing myself again from it.

mine is not my roots tho, it's just some city i lived in for a year

right there u go

Oh awesome, OKC has given up on me to such an extent that it's putting lesbians in my suggested matches. Or maybe it's their little way of making fun of my haircut, I don't know.

eek, I accidentally clicked on the profile of the girl who assaulted me a little over a week ago (the one that strapped me down with cable ties at a bar (it wasn't funny and I didn't deserve it). My therapist said that it's perfectly normal for anyone to feel assaulted after that incident. I will now cease to discuss this any further))

she scares me and now I will be in her profile visitor page. I should find a real ugly pic so she won't click on me

&^%%^#$%^ this thing is CRUL.

Most of the time, the guys on there are not my type at all - they cant spell, or theyre really not attractive to me, or obvious pervs. And then there is that 10% of OMGWTF awesome guys who you have *everything* in common with and are cute or at least mildly attractive and you send them a message and...nothing. Bah.

I dont need to know that the only guys out there I can find who are single and I have everything in common with still wouldnt give me the time of day :/

hm. At this point, my #1 match is my ex. The one who is my bff. Who I live with.

Maybe I should just stop kidding myself.

Grrrr, being a 40-something divorced parent and doing this is the worst. 40-somethings without kids are always busy doing something (yet do not always understand when divorced parents are busy), while 40-somethings with kids are usually busy with the kids. Once you get past the scheduling issues, you can then move on to other issues!

i have had nothing but disastrous results thus far

i think i'd have better results chatting up randoms at the bar, in all honesty

i've ultimately had nothing but disastrous results for my entire dating life! but i've had a lot of good times between disasters.

the friend of mine who told me back in february that i should sign up on OKC, because that's how he met his gf whom he felt was "the one" - "is now single"

I'm still trying on it (just have to remind myself not to get bothered by it). Just heard about someone who got married who met the gal on fastcupid (not as many people are on that one)

girl off this and I are now totally BFFs, the system works

our parameters aren't exactly strict though. 'intense friendship' is a good description. 'friend with benefits' is an inaccurate description despite appearances to the contrary. but aided by extreme mutual attraction we've flown into the fire twice now and both times the aftermath was more rewarding - moreover she's leaving the country soon. one thing's near-certain - the fire will be returned to, and the conflagration will be hotter than ever before.

"I have read and enjoyed all of Dan Brown's novels..."

... NEXT.

god louis...you have to stop mixing cocaine with laudanum or plum pudding or pigeon pie or whatever (glad it's going well)

Just got a message from a cute indie chick from Victoria.

Not really sure how anything's supposed to come of that, but I can certainly use the ego boost. I messaged her back.

hopefully you'll both flame into the water :)

A+

fuck it, we're in love, we're going for it

fuckin guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy

how apt

what are you "going for"?

"it", apparently

I assume "it" is some new type of curry

I accidentally answered a question about oral sex to say I would never do it when I meant to say that I am practically Oral Hershiser.

you can fix it tomorrow iirc

I have messaged 2 or 3 guys in the last couple weeks who I
- have a high match with (75% or even 90%)
- we have *loads* of bands, TV etc in common, esp obscure stuff
- theyre open to my age bracket

... no replies. Starting to wonder wtf I am doing wrong if people I have everything in common with wont bite. I have to assume its the photos and quite honestly at this point for the first time in my life I am thinking Ive been kidding myself that I'm at all attractive :/ This bullshit is ruining my self confidence.

...and then suddenly you'll get a bunch of messages and meet a bunch of people and feel cocky and not know how to say no to any of them soon enough and get all overscheduled and frazzled and wanting everyone to just leave you alone for a while. it's feast or famine and it comes in waves, and both paths lead to despair. yay dating!

dating!!

*commits harikiri*

I'm being a bit spurious here tbh, Ive had ppl message me who I have ignored. And Ive had a few who Ive talked to, and had somem great chats with. One is now a good online friend (tho he ended up finding another gf). One I owe an email to, oooops.

So yeah. Works both ways. I'm just having one of those "WHO THE HELL AM I" weeks.

I was talking about this last night w/my good friend I met on OKC, how brutal it is to A) send someone a message and then B) see they look at your profile and C) don't respond. It's like, what didn't you like?

But that's the game. It's a more involved form of admiring some cutie across the room who never gives you a glance.

Upside: messaged someone who appears pretty kick ass. She responded at great length not just to my message, but to stuff deep in my profile that suggests she ~actually read it~. And she has pink hair. So the knees, they are already weak.
