So... my first post might really piss you off... because you are thinking... what the heck? I have accounts on eharmony.com, match.com, ihatebeingsingle.com. And this single awkward vegan just bashed online dating. How can she do that? What the hell is wrong with her?
Well.. I'll tell you what. Tonight I went out with a guy that I met on craigslist. I know what you are thinking. Raise your eyebrows at me... judge me for throwing caution to the wind. But look, I emailed him and asked if he was a craigslist killer and he said no. So, I thought it would be safe. His post said, 38 year old vegan - looking for friendship. We were emailing back and forth. Things were exciting. I even checked my email at work (which is really bending the rules for me, but I did it). It was exciting. I felt like a middle schooler again. Oooo... what did he say today? I have to check. Gross.
So, the plan was to meet tonight. Get a bite to eat and check out a bookstore. Please note that I was very smart and chose a public location, hence my name of single awkward vegan - not single stupid vegan. Good god. Could it have been a more awkward night???? NO!
Am I judgemental? Yes! Do I care about the feelings of another human being? Yes! So, here I was... diagnosing this man that sat across the table from me. He was nice, polite, but extremely awkward. I almost thought he should write this blog. I had to carry the whole conversation, we had nothing in common. What was I thinking? Meeting someone in real life that I had met online? We went to the bookstore. I tried my best to be polite, looked at a few things and then said I had to get home to my kiddos. What are the juicy details? Nothing. Except the fact that I will probably have to change my phone number now.
I feel bad for people that are single. It really sucks. My ex thinks this is some great adventure, being single again. Either he's smoking crack or it's different from the male side of the table. I guess it depends what you are hoping to get out of it..
