Oh wow. My biggest claim to fame is talking to the girl who designed the Main Attrakionz album cover (the first one, sadly not Bossalinis...)

I found my fave OkCupid person so far and then I saw her at a gig the next night! No contact by either means, which left me feeling a bit creepy even though I DID NOTHING WRONG. :'(. It's been four months since I registered and I still haven't filled out my profile, I'll do it soon when I'm less busy, I really will.

I've had mine for like a year and STILL haven't filled out the essays, though I've answered many questions. But I will, really I will, too. I've been not interested in going on any dates the last couple months, so it's working out.

hmmm, is being a homeopath a good enough reason to click "not interested"?

I support that decision. Also taking the horoscope seriously.

It's just an ugh cause I'd feel like a creep reaching out through OKC when there's a notionally high chance we'd come across each other irl by happenstance--only, of course, we haven't yet.
― steening in your HOOSless carriage (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link
yeah, this is a crazy minefield imo - i've approached and been approached by a couple girls i knew in real life who came up as high okc matches, and it's been wicked awkward every time (even if the context of the approaching is "ha how crazy")

my dude just proposed to a girl he met via instagram
they were both following each other (because of mutual friends) and she just took it to him in the comments one day and asked him out on a double date

I believe that when two people join in a relationship that they can become one, and are both equal. I know that these are just words for now, but maybe someday I can prove them to you. I love playing racquetball, softball and I run.
Something Smoove-esque about this.

I gave up. I don't even like any of my matches anymore. Dating in any fashion is a lot of PITA.

I had utterly given up on OKC but got messaged the other night by someone I have mutual friends with (but havent met) and he seems like a dece fellow. Gonna meet up with him on the weekend. I'm not sure I'm in the headspace to be dating right now, but hey I cant let that shut me off from experience.

Wish you could just exclude poly/open relationship people from your searches.
― ORK OUT (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 13 June 2013 08:22 (ten years ago) link
You can if theyre honest enough to put "available' rather than "single", then you can search on "single only" but alas a lot of them put "single" :/
― It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Thursday, 13 June 2013 08:45 (ten years ago) link
There's this guy I am Fetlife friends with who is one of my highest matches on OkCupid. We also follow each other on tumblr. I think I wrote him off once because he was boring at texting. Finally going to meet him, I think, as I've come to terms with the fact that not everyone is a WORDSMITH when it comes to text messages.

"You can if theyre honest enough to put "available' rather than "single", then you can search on "single only" but alas a lot of them put "single" :/"
fwiw I'm in a poly-type-ish relationship and we both have "single" b/c "available" seems to be the domain of married people looking to cheat on their partners, or so it seems, and all the other poly-type-ish people have "single"
