actually there's no such thing as online dating..you can't possibly date online..i mean, unless there was such thing as virtual reality through internet, or the sims online is your idea of having a date, then good for you :p

today i am referring to the topic of meeting strangers in person
i've only met, in person, 6 people that i've befriended online..

each time i've met them because of a plan, and only one i met by bumping into
so anyways, i was thinking about the importance of a handphone or some method of communicating to your friend in order to meet up with them

how do you meet or spot them?

if you remember their face from a picture which they sent to you online or you know what they'll be wearing when you meet them..but 50% of them probably won't have a picture to send to you, or the picture that they sent you was a photo at prom taken 3 years ago and so you don't really know what they look like..they could also be saying they're wearing something generic like a black shirt, which almost everybody will be wearing as well..so finding them is practically impossible unless they go up to you, which brings me to my next point-

avoiding 'dates' :p
i've heard stories, though i've never experienced them myself before- A and B decide to meet up..they decide on a place..A reaches there early and spots B arriving..A is very shallow (:p) doesn't think that B is attractive enough, so A leaves, and doesn't answer any of B's calls, and cuts off all form of contact with B..B is stuck (and most probably upset) for the rest of the day alone, unless B brought friends along, then B will say 'Fuck A anyways, what a loser'

anyways today, at megamall, i saw this man walk up to a woman, and then they shake hands and smile as if they were meeting for the first time (how sweet :P) well they started talking and walked off..so i figured they had met online, and they were meeting up for the first time.. a few weeks ago, i remember seeing a girl check her phone every few seconds, pacing around, glancing at everyone, as if she was waiting for her date and she didn't know who to expect, she even stared at me cos i looked her way! well when i came back to the same place later, she was gone already (probably with her date)

shit this post was unorganised :p i was just typing all this out in no particular order, whichever came to my mind first..i think the last paragraph comes first..bah

comment anyways :p speak about your experiences with 'online dating' i wanna hear :)
