The Dating Game

Hello ladies! I miss us so much. I've read Jen's blog about 15 times just because she writes how she talks :). Big hugs and kisses.

So ladies it's come to this. I am no officially on Match.com. I've had such bad luck with dating and since I was moving, starting fresh, entering a new stage of my life, whatever you wanna call it... I thought it was time to explore different avenues of meeting men. So, I created a profile, uploaded some hopefully un-dorky pictures of me and clicked submit.

Creating a profile for marketing yourself to the opposite sex is mega hardballs. What do you say? How do you make yourself sound amazing? Um hi, I'm Kiki...long walks on the beach much? Yuck, don't wanna sound cliche or like a super tramp. I know from experience that reading a profile can make or break your opinion. For example: A guys named 69stunner1993 ( What's up ladies! I'm dat #1 jank dat you want. I likes my ho's real. Lookin' for a shawty to gets up in mine. I hold it down in the BK wit da crew. Yaw know how it do. I'll be romantic witcha if you know how to do dat thang.) Are you going to answer this guy? Don't say yes Haley! Sadly, I did not make that guy up. *Sigh* He sent me a message last week :/.

I put down a short and simply message hopefully describing myself accurately. Hehe, I feel like Diane Lane in "Must Love Dogs". I've gotten a couple of bites but nothing wonderful. The guys that are interested in me seem to go from "How's it going" to "What's your bra size" in 0-2 messages. After that they get to know the power of the block button on the right hand side of the screen. I have actually got up to texting with one guy but that turned really sour pretty fast. It was due to a horrible sentense involving the words "protien shake". You don't want to know.

Maybe i'm too picky, I don't know. Its still pretty fun. Meeting guys, flirting with them. I am alot more charming when typing or texting it seems. All the nerves are check. I can just be me without the first date jitters. We shall see what happens. If anything, they will make for funny blog entries to my best friends. One just popped up. His name is Nate. He's from Boston (hmmm long distance...sheesh). Shaggy hair, stubble . His message says "I'm Nate, your profile popped up and I had to say hello." Ohhh boy. I'll keep you guys posted on this one :).

xoxo (noo not Gossip Girl)

  1. OH, Kiki! I'm so proud of you! I hope you meet a sweet guy or at least meet some people to be friends with in NY. I think I would sign up if I moved to a huge city where I knew next to no one! You definitely get some brave Gryffindor points for putting yourself out there like that. xoxo!
