15 ways to confess you met online
Susan
Hayden, Match
After
a messy divorce and several months of unbearable
bar-hopping, a friend of mine decided she was ready
for online dating. She hit the keyboard, logged
on to Match.com
and has had a date almost every week since. In short,
she's having the time of her life, and though I'm
deeply in love and committed to my boyfriend, I
must admit I'm a bit envious.
But not everyone is so enthusiastic. When my friend
told a co-worker she was using a matchmaking service,
she replied with disgust, "You can do so much
better than that." Luckily, my friend is not
the kind of person to care what anyone else thinks
(and won't hesitate to tell you so!).
And
why should she? She's meeting some interesting people
in a controlled, safe environment — a better
alternative to the bar scene — and has a more
active social life than anyone she knows —
a better alternative to the couch. The way she puts
it: "It's just fun; everybody's in a good mood.
You can shop for who you want to date, and you can
have a date every night if you want it."
Unfortunately,
some people still just don't get the whole online
dating thing. But they don't have to — it's
YOUR love life. So don't be shy about your electronic
affairs, be proud!
Here
are 15 lines to throw out when friends ask about
your online dating life:
1.
We went shopping together. He was looking for me and
I was in the market for him.
2.
At least I knew she wanted a date. It's not like a
bar or the gym, where you're throwing yourself to
the wolves. You know she's looking for someone, or
she wouldn't be on Match.com.
3.
I met him surfing.
4.
I'm not sitting at home waiting for Mr. Right to show
up on my doorstep.
5.
I liked the way her profile looked.
6.
I chose him by natural electronic selection.
7.
It's great! I learned everything I needed to know
about him before we even met, so I could decide whether
or not it was worth pursuing.
8.
I finally met my match.
9.
He wrote to me everyday.
10.
I have more dates than Julia Roberts between husbands.
11.
It beats Blockbuster every night.
12.
Unless you have the perfect match for me, I'll stick
with the professionals.
13.
Because I prefer to take matters into my own hands.
14.
It's like choosing someone out of a line-up, except
this way you pick the good guy.
15.
He's good with his fingers.
