Cupids Dating Blog

Dating sites are a good way to avoid those uncomfortable moments that arise once you've misjudged another person's interest. If you have a casual manner about you, asking someone you've met to grab a pint and have some coffee can lead to those moments when they look at you with utter shock that you'd even think to consider any romantic possibilities down the road. "Oh," says the girl sitting across from you, "I thought you knew." That sentence has various endings ranging from "I had no interest in you, giant weirdo" to "I'm a lesbian" or "I have a boyfriend." The last one, says my friend the lesbian beauty, is one we have in common.

Truthfully, given how often I've heard the phrase lately, I was starting to think it was just the kind of thing people said when they needed an excuse to stop you in your tracks. I thought women who are actually attached would usually mention the fact before they've talked you into buying them a third drink. I was a little relieved when my friend, who just happens the kind of beautiful babe that anyone would be interested in, also finds herself barking up the wrong tree more often than she'd like. I figure that if it can happen to a cute lesbian girl then it may not speak so badly of me, or so I hope. In any case, my friend and I have both agreed that one good way to avoid this kind of uncomfortable moment is to make sure that the people we're chatting up are actively looking. It's one advantage that meeting people online gives you.
