The Search Is ‘On’line

So – I have been working overtime, traveling everywhere, and have not left much time for a social life. But despite my lack of effort, there is always just plain conscience. I had randomly ran into this guy at the gym (which let me just say, the gym has been my personal favorite place to meet a boy because you can get a pretty good idea of what he may look like with his shirt off) and he started making small talk. We talked for a while about nonsense (again, the gym is totally the place because you know a boy must be into you if you are all sweaty and wearing baggy yoga pants) and we left by saying I’ll see you around.

Okay, everything cool up until now….I think he’s cute, he can bench press my body weight, and I’m sure I’ll see him the next time I’m at the gym… so I get on my Facebook account later in the week and he has looked me up – using only my first name and the town I live in. Okay, someone please help me understand this nonsense – what is up with this sneaky little way of finding people you meet by going out to the internet and looking them up?

Don’t get me wrong – I’m definitely a fan of internet dating through match sites, dating services, etc. – that is all good and I’ve known lots of people to have great success. But my point is this – was has happened to the gold old fashioned way of just asking a girl for her digits when you are into her?

So ladies, voice your opinions… is this something that we should be wary of OR is it something that we should be utilizing in our own lives to be sure that we know what kind of guys we are looking to date?
