It’s holiday time! Christmas displays are popping up all over the city in anticipation of the present-buying frenzy that is sure to come in the next few weeks. I love shopping. Discount shopping, grocery shopping, or thumbing through magazines – it’s all the same to me – and of course, there is online shopping. Just last night I was online clicking around and looking for a new pair of strappy heels and a cocktail dress (“for what?” you may ask – deets coming soon in a future post!). The internet is such a great resource for coupons, discounts, and steals that you might not otherwise find.
With all that in mind, I invite you into my living room to drop in on a conversation I just had with my roommate (a 26 year-old single, beautiful, and natural-haired actress):
Me: I wish I was married.
Roomie: Really? No you don’t.
Me: You’re right. I guess I just wish I was dating someone.
Roomie: Yeah me too. I want a boyfriend.
Me: Okay! Let’s find you one!
I immediately pulled out my laptop. Then I stopped. MY LAPTOP!?!? Yes! In this internet-savvy world, my first response to finding her a boyfriend was to start searching for one online. I guess I figured that I could just Google “available boyfriend” much like I would “vegetarian dinner recipes” or “MTA subway schedules” and turn up with the perfect man for my roomie.
I admit it. I’ve tried online dating. I may or may not even be on a site or two now. I still do find it slightly embarrassing, but I actually think it’s totally common. I mean, let’s be real, my industry is pretty homosexual heavy, and outside of work, I don’t meet too many guys. Plus, it seems like in the past few months, all of my friends who are recently married or even just in new relationships found their soul mates via the world wide web. In my experiences with online dating, I’ve never met anyone worthwhile and I generally get bored with the process after like, 3-4 days – pathetic, I know, but for now, I think I’ll try to stick it out. (I resisted the urge not to delete my online dating profiles like, an hour ago lol….alas.)
So what would your Google search for the perfect man/woman look like? I think these are some of the key words that I would use:
Christian
Educated
Employed
Provider
Wants Children
Hot Body
Chocolatey
Yeah, I got kinda shallow towards the end there, but why not ask for it all, right? Clearly, it “tis the season to be jolly!”
Your turn! What’s on YOUR wish list?
 Not such a bad idea, right? |
