For the sake of keeping my identity during this endeavor under wraps (and for your benefit, dear reader) for the entirety of this blog you can call me Kristin. Charmed, I'm sure.
When I finally caved and decided to internet date, I had the idea of keeping a blog of my experiences. Internet dating carries a certain stigma to the general public, as I'm sure you know. I've had it recommended to me at least a dozen times but refused to take the plunge. I didn't want to admit that I have trouble meeting men or that I'm one of the habitually single 20 somethings you see far too often roaming the streets. Why should I have to find my men on the internet?
The truth is after the warm, comforting demographic of a college campus finding eligible dating candidates becomes akin to finding a conservative at a Green Day concert. It's tough, to say the least. At least the men you meet on campus, though possibly still frat boys, have drive and ambition and, to a certain degree, education.
In all honesty, dear reader, I just don't get out enough. I am a busy professional with a tight schedule and a sizable commute to the city. Finding myself in a place aside from the gym where the men are my age is a daunting if not impossible task.
So, I threw in the towel. I gave up the fight and created free profiles on DownToEarth, PlentyOfFish, and OkCupid. I figured if I'm caving I might as well do it with pizazz.
The purpose of this blog is to both review these free dating sites (and the caliber of man found on each one) and to share every coffee, cocktail, and Coke from each date I go on throughout my journey. I'm glad to have your support on this, my dating safari. After all, we girls need to stick together.
Until next time,
Kristin
