This is in reply to Bre posting Online Dating as my comment was too long!I'd have to agree with you on not being too keen on meeting someone through a computer match.
I have been guilty dabbing in some online dating being the shy geek that I am when it comes to dating he he :) I learned my lesson with the first guy I meet. I had one question that was important to me and that was regarding his size (get you mind out of the gutter :) I asked if he could a least run a mile with me nonstop. At that time I was a regular runner and in better shape so I wanted to wean out the grossly overweight people.
I didn't care if he were overweight because most people are now days, but not obese obese that was not acceptable to me. He lied obviously and it freaked me out we meet at a restaurant and I kid you not he was easily pushing 400lb. There was no way he could run a mile if his life depended on it. He couldn't even see his own feet.
I can look past most personal flaws we all have with our looks, but I have one rule if you cannot sit in a chair look down while legs are spread apart an look between your own legs and see your goodies if you are naked then you may be a little too big. Now if you have to suck your stomach in to see your goodies that's OK cause that's baby fat or your just chubby ha ha ha.......beer bellies are OK sometimes :) I think women are a little more flexible on the weight issue than men.
I'm not opposing to meeting someone from blogging online as you said. I think they know you a lot more than some people in your life. I believe when your blogging most likely your being more honest than people online looking to meet someone. I would be more apt to meet someone from blogging than online dating at this stage of my life. Wow I had a lot to say. Time flies when your being Honest ^_^
