Who Ya Shaggin?
You meet some interesting people when you're dating online. Take, for example, this past week. I had been chatting with someone a few months ago but shortly concluded that there was no chance for a relationship. She was offended - or so i take it as she never replied to my email. A week ago she popped back online and apologized for not returning my email. I made a friendly offer of coffee as payment for my sins.
We'd only spoken once before - and as I recall, there were a lot sexual references used, although I didn't pay much attention to them at the time. Our second phone call was filled with them. Then, when we actually went out for coffee, she could talk about little else! Now I know many of you are scratching your head, wondering where the problem is, but for me, there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. Instead of being a turn-on, it became a turn-off. My point is that although I went off in my last entry about how guys on sex dating sites have next to no chance of picking up a woman who’s just looking for a good time, there are many different kinds of people. The only question you need ask yourself is if you really care what type of person you end up shaggin.

Can you hear what I'm bloggin'?!?!
Seems a lot of us are saying the same thing right now. I recently posted about online dating sucking the marrow out of romance. Since when is it acceptable to ask someone if they like anal sex in the first conversation?
My experience thus far that that the majority of folks seem to be fairly comfortable either asking for or dishing out this kind of information. What happened to the thrill of discovery?

Good point, it all depends on what site you have a membership on. Most sites cater to certain niches. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I think that a lot of the thrill of online dating comes from the fact that most of it is anonymous when you are online, and no one can judge you on how you look, how much money you have, etc. You can say something in an anonymous forum that you couldn't say at the corner coffee shop. The problem (or opportunity) comes when the chatting couples decide to meet offline, which is when they discover that they are not quite the person they met online.
