Fishing In The Online Sea

So after two days of my emotional affair I decided to perhaps try Internet dating in order to talk to single men instead of a man boy with a girlfriend. I have mixed feelings about Internet dating. However, I have heard some good stories about online dating. One of my friends found her boyfriend through a dating website and my mum has also told me good stories about people finding the one through online dating. Dating websites and apps are so popular now. Like I said, it is easier to talk to people behind a screen. But what about meeting someone in real life? Half of me would just rather meet someone in real life. But where? 

Anyway I thought I would give it ago. I signed up to Plenty Of Fish, a free dating website. I don’t have the money to waste on the ones you have to pay for.  Too cut a long story short I got quite a few messages from a few guys. In a week I got three numbers from three men. Two of the men were insistent about going on dates and a lot older than me- in their early and mid thirties.  The third guy I like a lot and was attracted to him from his photos. He is in his late twenties. 

 I live in a village outside of a city. I do have a car. But I kind of still live with my mum and dad. I am a Postgraduate student and I don’t have enough monies to live on my own.  I have lived in another city before, on my own, whilst studying my undergraduate degree.  Now I am back with mummy and daddy. I still have to tell them where I am going and stuff and I kind of want too. At the same time it is annoying, but can I tell them about online dating and that I am meeting a 35 year old man (?). I don’t particularly want to tell them everything about me. Technically I am still 23. I am pretty young and 35 years old seems old (no offence to any 35 year old's out there). Do I want to be dating men that are almost ten years older than me or more? I think I learnt a lot about myself from my brief experience on Plenty Of Fish and what I want right now. 

In these next posts I will tell you about the men that I found on the dating site.
