I don't see myself as extremely picky as a person, but why don't people understand that religion is non-negotiable?

Maybe its just this generation of things, where religion is often left to the way side until wedding arrangements are made.

I just find it important in a relationship to have in common, as for many morals and values are upheld and taught through religion.

first experiences

The first few of my days were spent getting through the tedious website, figuring out the internal emailing system and finishing an extremely long application... I think it was longer then my college applications, hell I wouldn't be surprised if it surpassed government level questioning.


Got a few emails here and there, but realized I had to narrow down what a wanted my potential "match" to have, things that are extremely important to me, i.e. a job, and my religion and so on and so forth.

The emails are hard to keep up with since you have to log onto the website to respond..no blackberry app for that yet haha. I spend most of my time logged onto public computers during my day, and just feel it would be inappropriate to answer them during class.

two weeks in

So, I am a bit late with starting this blog. It was kind of an after thought to the whole dating process, and it will serve as a nice reminder if nothing else. Getting on to the most basic questions though

1. You are so young and still in college, why online dating?

I have been in a few long term relationships in my short life, and through life experiences as well know what I am looking for. With that being said, after four years of college I still unsuccessful in my search. I am tired of meeting guys at bars or through friends. I need something more, something different.

2. But still aren't you too young to know what you want?

Not to sound cliche but I have been through a lot in life. Traumatic Brain Injury at 15, parents getting divorced, father marrying a girl my own age, becoming an online student and moving to Manhattan for a year on my own... and the list goes on. Why wait until I am thirty to settle on something on someone less then what I am looking for. The earlier I start the more possibilities.

3. Are you writing on behalf of a dating website/ getting paid/ making this up?

As I said before I choose online dating, then decided to start a free blog about my experiences. I am going to be chronicling my experiences, interactions, correspondences to the best of my ability, while keeping my potential suitors' identities anonymous.

4. What dating site are you going through?

Due to many privacy policies and conditions I will keep that information to myself as well. It is an extremely commonly used site.

If there are any other questions, please feel free to respond and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
