Slightly Shameful

I'm slightly ashamed of what I'm about to say, but I figure that if I don't write about this on my blog, I'm never going to be able to talk about what could potentially be a very news-worthy project.

I went to a wedding on Saturday - it was beautiful, lovely, everything a wedding should be. Prior to going, I had been told that weddings were THE place to meet people. I told myself that, having tried most other avenues, if a wedding didn't produce the man of my dreams, I'd have to resort to the final avenue. That is, dating websites. *shudder*

So, I didn't meet anybody at the wedding, and yesterday I did it; I put my profile on a website. Urgh. I feel slightly sick about the whole thing. But I figured that I don't go out, like, at all, and even if I had the time to go out I still wouldn't. In short, there's absolutely nowhere that I'm going to meet a man, so unless I want to be an old spinster this measure is totally necessary.

In the last 24 hours, I've received about 30 enquiries. Of these, I have made contact with just 2. I narrowed it down to these 2 men, because they were the only ones who made no spelling mistakes and could string a sentence together without abbreviating anything or saying 'lol'. Appalling isn't it. But a pleasant surprise was that these adequate spellers were also relatively good looking. So yes, it's an interesting little project, I'm still ashamed about it, but I'd rather do something that's completely against my nature and totally outside of my comfort zone than end up alone, cursing the world for not delivering me some company when deep down I know it's because I didn't try hard enough.

So there.
