Can you keep a secret that I couldn’t keep?

You want to know a secret? I bet you do.

Tonight, I’m meeting a girl I met on match.com.

Okay, so if you see me in person this isn’t really a secret, I’ve told everyone I know about me being on match.com. But, since you don’t see me in person, this is no longer a secret to you!

I tried the match.com thing before, and that didn’t really work, but that was for totally different reasons, obviously. This time around, it’s more serious. Like, I’m seriously entertaining meeting people. Seriously.

The reason I (re)joined the site, is because of Thanksgiving dinner with my family. Over dinner, my brother-in-law sorta pestered me as to why I don’t join the site… I gave a half-hearted response, but that’s about it. After thinking about it some more (and realizing that it’s not too much effort) I decided to give it a whirl. It’s been about 3 weeks or so, and it’s actually kind of fun. Not “kind of fun” like when your niece decides she wants to play tea party and you’re going to the the guard at the door, not letting her pink stuffed teddy bear in because “he’s not plawing nice”, but more along the “hey, that flash game wasn’t too bad. I could totally waste my Thursday doing this. Or, even better, blogging about doing it.”

So yeah, tonight I meet a girl from the Internet. Mind you, on multiple occassions I’ve met internettly folk, but this is the first in with even the wisps of romance in the air. Or maybe that’s pollen. In the middle of winter? No, my friend - that’s ROMANCE. Anyway, we’ll see what happens. And, dagnabbit, I’ll even update this site when we do.

Eventually.
