An internet dating whore

Before this project even began, I already belonged to one dating site (for free) that I'd never really bothered with. In the space of the last week, I've joined two more - one Christian, one non-Christian.

Today, I had some new mail on the Christian site (one random, one a reply) and my first message on the non-Christian one (unfortunately I can't reply as I've not paid money yet). Things are progressing...

The form-filling is frustrating though. How are you meant to sell yourself to total strangers? How can you tick a box describing yourself as 'attractive' - isn't that just big headedness? For Guardian Soulmates, I had to come up with a cheesy line that summed me up. After a bit of discussion with another single friend, I went with "Fun-loving girl seeks intellectual guy for witty banter and debate". Nice and simple - and true.

So now I guess I wait and see what happens. Maybe I'll pay up on the Guardian and experiment with both concurrently. Perhaps I'll see what happens after a month with the Christians...
