Are You Ready for Love?

What is rejection?  Nothing does it better than on-line dating. Am I pretty enough? Do I have the right body? Is my conversation ok? Nothing like getting to the core of who I am when I do on-line dating.  It shows my core.

Ok…I feel a little stupid.  I thought there was only one way to on-line date in my city.  Apparently I was wrong.  There is Plenty of Fish, Bumble, Cupid something or other, Craigslist etc.  I just found out there is even something called Instagram!  Wow…so many options!  I thought I was in the big leagues just actually choosing one option. Now my world has opened up!

But the reality is I was still on the bench. I didn’t realize that belonging to at least five sights in my city is the requirement.   Online dating exhausts me. It reminds me I have to smile and be polite in so many places or else and the other side of the spectrum  I must be sexy and to die for (in so many places). 

So what do I do now?

Do I join all sites?  Do I put myself out there for all?  Do I dip my toe in the water?

 I think it is harder for women.  We live in a city full of leggy blond 20 something's.  For those of us not fitting this description…well….we tend to date guys looking over their shoulder.

So I have a challenge for you all…what do you really want?  Is it an online experience? Do you want to learn how to on-line date…we can learn from each other. Do we want to learn to communicate with each other when we are caught in the same line?

Whoops…I just caught a man’s eye.  We smiled at each other.  What do I do?  Do I say hi? Do I tell him I think he is sexy?  I just don’t know what to do.  Really I want to take those glasses off his face and kiss him but that is probably unacceptable.

So I sit in my chair and type away. Am I ready? Or maybe I will read my book.  Anything to avoid saying hi.  And to be honest…I don’t know why… except ….I am scared of rejection.
