It’s been a week since I joined Match.com and not even
one reply. Actually there was one, she said she was flattered by my message
(I’m such a good charmer if I have time to think of something smooth to say)
but had already found someone and had just come online to deactivate her
account. Sweet of her to get back to me and although it wasn’t the type of
response I wanted (because I’m used to them in real life), it did show that the
site does work… eventually.
I don’t know if I thought it was magic but some part of me
thought I would be getting to know my perfect match now. That is a ridiculous
thought (and I tease my sister about living in a fantasy world) but the adverts
for online dating do trick stupid people (A.K.A. me) into thinking it’s
instantaneous. I just need to patient and wait for someone who is interested in
me, not just the other way around like it usually is.
The main conflict I had was how to tell people about me
being a ‘Wheelchair Boy’. At first, I left it out but my friend told me that
the surprise could go hideously wrong and leave me upset. Especially if we
arrange a date, she sees I’m disabled and then legs it (harsh but true). So,
I’ve casually dropped it in my profile. It now reads ‘my friends say I
have a great personality and the right girl would make me more confident to
show it off. My enemies say I'll never get a date because I'm in a
wheelchair...I'm joking... I don't have enemies!’ I think this is subtle and if
a girl doesn’t get the full picture then, that’s not the partner I want to be
honest.
The only good thing is I’ve signed up for 6 months so
it would be a waste of money if I met the special one (optimistic I know)
within a week. I can stretch out my search to get value for money and it makes
for interesting blogs which I was I think about a lot nowadays.
Before I go, a quick update on how I’m getting on in
the Big Blog Exchange. I’m 23rd with 58 votes, which means that not
everyone who reads this is voting. Please click on http://www.bigblogexchange.org/blog/72005,
enter your E-Mail address and then confirm it by clicking the link in your
inbox. It would make me a very happy boy.
Bye for now!
