I was pretty apprehensive about online dating, but a group of friends I fell in with had previously done all these quizzes and stuff on tickle (previously emode)… so I thought I’d join up and take the quizzes and see what it was all about. I was so intrigued by all the people that were on there! I was going to be moving to Minneapolis from a smaller town up on lake superior so I thought I’d see if I could meet a few people who lived there once I got down there. Usually I started by chatting with them online, then meeting up at a park or a bar or something. I ended up meeting about 8 guys total… some were really cool and some really, really weren’t. At first, I was reckless and put myself in situations that were potentially dangerous… But I kinda wizened up after the first few. Then, I came across theh profile of the guy who is now my boyfriend. I had a really good feeling about it, and we chatted for about 2 weeks before we met. I had just moved in to an apartment in the same neighborhood he grew up in, so he showed me all the cool little spots to explore with my dog.
We've been together for about a month now, and things are going pretty good. He’s actually the one who turned me on to tfp!
So, I’m a bit longwinded here… but online dating can be good if you’re open minded about it. Just don’t open up too far and put yourself in a dangerous situation…
