After playing with Tinder for a couple of weeks, I’ve
gotten bored of not really being able to see anything about the guys, not
knowing what they do, like, think, etc.. Now don’t get me wrong, playing ‘hot
or not’ will never get old but being someone who is all about personality and
loves a good laugh, I need to ensure that these suitors have a sense of
humour, some intellect, the ability to string a sentence together and use basic grammar, etc.. It even appears that some of them are lacking basic life skills:
the ability to maintain a conversation, sensing written inflections (ok, I’ll allow
that this is hard to pick up on when two dimensional but come on...). These are things that I cling to in everyday life, the blood and soul of basic human interaction. I guess maybe my big problem is that I'm a very physical person; I'm very verbal and expressive and like to be able to see and hear how and what people are saying. Obviously, I'm a master with words, can't you tell?! But my one love is conversing with others when the communication just flows and is natural. Small talk and forced conversations are the worst!

Where will the craziness end?
Confession time. I have now joined 'Plenty of Fish'. I’ve done it,
I’ve joined an online dating website. I swore when I became single last summer that the one thing I would never, ever, ever do was join a dating website. I swore blind, while sober/while drunk that I couldn't even comprehend the possibility of joining something that only "desperate people" turn to and look at me eating my words by the ladle! And worse still, glup, I’m enjoying it! Oh the humanity!!!
So, Plenty of Fish, how is it treating me? I joined on Wednesday evening with help from Rupert, who has previously been on there and he has given me some male pointers. But Rupert struggles to express himself through the written word and as we know, I do not, so some logger heads were met. I think I've summed myself up pretty well...I've added a disclaimer, well if all else fails, add a disclaimer, that is what they say isn't it?!
Last night, I had a little peruse and messaged a couple of guys. Just as I was about to log off, I spotted a nice looking chap, so I messaged him and happened to use
the word 'diarrhoea', I was trying to explain my verbal dysentery
when I feel awkward but in doing so, I also raised a not so pleasant image. Well if nothing more, at least I will be memorable.
