can you say "online dating"?
I can't.
It's been at the back of my mind for months.
Ok, I'm not afraid to admit, I'm reclusive, introvert and generally anti-social. But I like me like that. I'm stubborn, I don't wanna change. I sit around going about my daily routine life hoping that Fate would just drop an eligible guy in it one day.
I'll be 23 this year. And it's really freaking me out I'm still single. Have always been single. At the same time, I don't care. I've lived 23 as a single, I think I can handle the rest of my life. I can adopt if ever I want kids. In fact, I'm 85% certain I will adopt, considering I cannot handle pain and that there're so many orphans in the world than there should be.
But you know there're moments when I desperately want to just be with someone. Someone who's not those 4 friends I've known nearly all my life, and someone who's not my sister because she deserves a life of her own too. Someone who actually wants to spend time with me too and not because I asked.
Which brings me back to online dating. Since it's proven that I'm hopeless at meeting someone through real life, why try out the virtual means? After all, we're living in the 21st Century!
But! Butbutbutbut! I fucking despise technology even though my life depends on it. I wanna say that I've met The One in a real place. I don't wanna point at a laptop and say 'oh, that's where I met him'. That's just too fucking weird. That's just sad.
