So I went on my first internet "blind" date tonight. Not really blind since we met on a social networking/dating site. But still. We didn't know each other. Anywho. It went alright. Which is encouraging. No sparks, no magic, no amazing anything. Just two nervous, average people huddled in the corner of a bistro making small talk. It wasn't bad. We laughed. It wasn't spark-y either. Is this what dating is supposed to be like from now on? *Worried look*
On a similar note:
Anyone could be your brand new love.
I worry about my capacity to love. There are times that I feel like I could fall in love with anyone. I feel like I fall for anyone I get to know well. So which is it? Chicken or egg? Does getting to know someone well inevitably lead to love? Or do you love and therefore get to know intimately?
I guess it's a matter of investment. You love the ones you do because when you first met, there was a glimmer of something. Potential. Even if it was off in the distance. That's why you invest time and emotion in the relationship. There's got to be a glimmer or why would you bother? The question then is, do I see a glimmer in everyone?

intrenets dating for a mate can be a long and arduous task. it's like going fishing for hours and getting nothing but a whole lotta bug bites and no freaking fish. most of the time it's boring, mundane and exhausting. sometimes you'll have an awesome story to tell about a crazy cat lady who shows you her G.I. Joe action figure collection. this will suck, however amusing it will be for your friends. but you must keep going. and why? because you might just learn something about random strangers and yourself and more importantly because of the slight, miniscule possibility that you may find someone that is more than you could ever have dreamed of. because we have to hope. what else is there really, besides hope... best of luck miss kat : )
