Say nothing, act casual.

Recently, I stumbled across okcupid.com - and for some insane reason, I created a profile and answered the questions, as if I was just filling out a long ass meme. Well, that was obviously a smart move. Right. Duh. 

The best part is, I want nothing to do with dating - but building my profile became…. kind of like a game. I answered questions, skipped a bunch, just goofed off. And then I realized - this is the internet persona of myself sitting at a bar. And goddamn it, I hate that. I hate being typecast, being compartmentalized, categorized, filed, and evaluated. I don’t want to be sized up from across the room (or across the internet).

I trust my friends too much, I suppose. I presume that, given that the city I live in has 3 degrees of separation, I am bound to already know someone that knows someone that would be pleasant for me to date (should that be a situation that presents itself).

I am not interested in going “out there” and finding someone. I have always thought that the right person comes into your life when you least expect it, and I maintain that position, even including the end of my last, albeit brief “relationship.” There is not one experience in life that is a loss, unless I have failed to learn something from it (and do not repeat the mistake again), and by that measure, I have done well. I’ve fucked up each relationship in an entirely new and creative way! Go me!!! Kidding. Kind of. 

At any rate, I have gone against my traditional views and killed a bunch of time playing okcupid, and now I am left with one question….  

OH GOD HOW DO I DELETE THIS ENTIRE PROFILE??!?!?!?!? 

You know, “what have I done” and such. So, now I have to go about ridding myself of the the colossal blunder of creating an online dating profile. 

FAIL.
