Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for July 21, 2006
- 1. Are you single, in a relationship, married, divorced, seperated, etc?
- I've been married for 335 days now.
- 2. When was the last time you went on a date?
- You know, I don't remember. Probably sometime last year before Jon and I got married. We tend not to do "date" things much anymore.
- 3. Describe your ideal date.
- Dinner and a movie. Maybe an afternoon spent antiquing or hiking and a little lunch. As long as it gets me out of the house.
- 4. Do you think dating has become archaic?
- In some ways, yes. Formal dating doesn't seem to happen for long anymore. Either you hit it off and form a relationship or you split quickly and move on to more dates with someone else.
- 5. What are your feelings on online dating services?
- I love them. In fact, I met my husband on one. The guys I met through them were mostly nice, normal people just looking for a new way to get introduced to someone. I mean, if you don't spend time in bars, parties, or other social functions where you meet a lot of new people you don't really have the opportunity to be introduced to someone. Internet dating services augment those social settings, bringing more people into your realm. The major downside is that there isn't any chemistry in a photo and blurb, and someone you might dismiss based on their profile could be a perfect match while another who appears perfect could be a bust. You just have to open up a bit and get out there to meet them face to face.
