I joined OkCupid a few months ago. So far I’ve met three people in person, but none of those meetings were exactly “dates”. And all of them were rather weird.
#1 was someone I noticed lived in the same small town as me, so I sent her a little message. And it turned out that not only does she go to my college, but she lives on the same floor of the same dorm building as me. She said was a “hermit”, which is why we had never met before. So, I walked over to her room and we chatted for a while. She seemed very nice. But after that night, she never answered any of my messages, and a few days later I tried saying hi in person, but she kept saying she was too busy. So eventually I gave up.
#2 also lives in my town, but she’s not a student here. We had been talking online for about a month when she said I could come over and meet her one night. And the place she chose for our meeting was her ex-boyfriend’s dorm on campus, where she apparently hangs out all the time. I suppose I should have been warned… So I arrived, and the two of us just sat on her ex’s bed and watched a movie. She had said she wanted to “cuddle”, but I didn’t really do anything because A) we had just met and I was a bit nervous, and B) I assumed I would see her again the next day, so I was in no rush. But the next day, though we had planned to meet again, she never responded to my messages. A few days later, she deleted her account. A week after that, she was back, and I tried talking to her again. We set up another meeting, which she canceled at the last minute. A few days later she gave me her number and said I could text her, and we arranged yet another meeting. But she never showed up for that either. A week later I sent her a text. She responded “Who is this?”. I told her who I was, and she replied “Hi, I still want to hang out with you, but it may be a few weeks. I’ve been very busy lately and I’ve recently been raped”. And that was the last she ever told me.
#3 lives like 10 miles away from me. But neither of us had a car, so it was a long distance for us. So, we started talking, and we seemed to be getting along quite nicely. After several weeks of this, she came to my school to attend some lecture, and when it was over she agreed to meet me in person. We went over to my room and chatted for a few minutes, and then she had to leave. I gave her a book about zombies, a common obsession of ours. And that night she told me “You were cuter than I expected”. Everything seemed good, and we were going to meet again in a few weeks. But then it all ended. Earlier she had shown me this blog she wrote, and was quite proud of. So I was looking at it one day, and I noticed she had written something about “annoying college students”. And I jokingly asked her if I was one of the annoying ones. She never responded to me… but she made a new post on her blog saying “If you stalk my blog, that’s creepy, and I won’t talk to you again”. And I can only assume it was referring to me, since that was the last I ever heard from her.
For the last month I’ve been having some quite nice conversations with some girl about 50 miles away, and we might eventually meet. There’s one little problem however… she has a boyfriend, which she eventually confided in me although her profile said single.
So, I have come to the conclusion that all girls on that site are crazy.
