Now that the messages are coming in like hot cakes, (is that the correct expression? how fast would you say hot cakes come in at? 1 or 2 every-other day?)
Regardless, I've got a confession to make.
This isn't easy for me to admit, but everything I know about online dating I learned from You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.
Translation - I know nothing about online dating. or regular dating really.
Hm...You don't seem surprised.
I'm not embarrassed. I'm sure there are other people who are wondering the same things I am.
Having said that, I'm curious:
- Are there rules for online dating?
- Should I be telling all of my friends that I'm doing this?
- How long do I wait before I reply to a message from a hottie?
- How do you avoid looking desperate?
- How many pictures of myself do I put up?
- Should I include photos in which I'm eating popsicles?
- What about bananas?
- twinkies?
- hotdogs?
- How do you describe yourself in a tastefully confident manner?
- What do you do when you see someone from the Online World, at a bar in the Real World?
- What is flirting and how do you do it?
- When do I start initiating a meeting?
- Or do I wait for the man to ask me out?
- Which comes first - dinner or coffee?
- Is it too forward to suggest meeting at a hotel?
- What do you do when you're surfing for hotties and come across your friend's roommate's profile?
- How do you wear yoga pants all day without getting camel toe?
- Should I have listed blowjobs under the Things I'm Good At tab?
- Why is 69 such a funny number?
- Is it true what they say about the size of the boat and the motion of the ocean?
- What is that a metaphor for?
- Is it normal to love Call Me Maybe this much?
- Where do babies come from?
Thanks guys. It felt good to let all that out.
