The first time I tried online dating must have been about 12 years ago. I don't feel much has changed. I went one date and was terrified
by the aggression of a woman who seemed to be about 10 years older
than what she posted on her profile. After my one month subscription,
I gave up and didn't think about meeting someone online for years.
Six years later, I tried again. A different city, yet, the
experience was somewhat similar. Instead of being older, the woman
that I met was, well, of a different body type that appealed to me.
However, that wasn't really the issue with the mismatch. I felt that she
was clueless with regard to current events. She also called me
more frequently than I liked. I did not reciprocate her
behaviour and it only took a week for us to no longer communicate.
2 years later, again in another city, or town with a population
about 20000, I met with one woman, for coffee. She was older than
projected, and surprisingly less healthy looking than I would like.
She wasn't interested in conversation, but she needed an audience. I
felt that she was somewhat rude. Fortunately, the meetup for coffee
ended early and that was the end of it.
Back on POF, for the hell of it, I cannot stand communicating via
my computer or mobile phone. Some women have initiated conversation, but I feel that I don't know how to communicate properly online. I may just delete my account after this two week experiment.
I like to use a computer to look up
things related to my hobbies - not socialize. I sometimes wonder if that my person is some asexual anomaly. Being single is not pleasant, however I
have no idea how I can change my situation. Getting a real job would
be a start – after years of relentless effort of applying to jobs,
networking, etc, I feel that no amount of ambition means securing
better employment.
