Online Dating Faux Pas at about a square peg in a round hole

Online Dating Faux Pas

Great Scots!

I think I’ve committed a grave online dating faux pas.

I believe that there is a natural progression to online dating…namely, wink, wink back, exchange a few E-mails, IM, phone conversation, and first meeting.
- Kirk, commenting on Moxie’s Online Dating Etiquette

Lets just say that I kinda went from wink and message to “lets meet up”. How unskilled can I be? Oh well. It was my first time afterall. But then again. I don’t even know her name!

And i really did (and do) verily think she’s interesting (and mighty attractive at that)!

I’m just doomed I think. Well done, Square. Big pat on the back and off with your head!

Oh. What to do, what to do? Should I apologise for the faux pas and hope to salvage the near beginning of a possible friendship? Or should I just pretend to be smooth and groovy and nonconformist and hope to impress with my risky maneuver?

What was I thinking?!

If you wondering: Online dating? What the fuck? Since when?

Well… Since recently. I’m really just looking to widen my circle of friends. The fact that I’m single, desolate and hopelessly companionless has got absolutely nothing, nothing, to do with it, okay? Really!

Who do I have to screw to get some new friends over here in Auckland, huh? Actually. Who do I have to screw? No one!

Ahem. Desperate? What, me? Never…

Bournemouth is still one of the greatest places to be in the Uk if you are single and into dating, small enough not to be lost in the crowd, but big enough to find romance!
