The Experiment Begins

Several people have suggested I try internet dating as a way to help get over my painful shyness. So this evening I posted a profile on Onion Personals, and spent a little time perusing profiles of the opposite sex. My search criteria were women, between 34 and 45, living within 25 miles of my zip code. There was a shocking number of people who came up, over 200. I found three whose profiles made me laugh, and sent messages to each.

On my own, it probably would never have occured to me to try this, but a number of my blog siblings have had some success from it, so I thought I would give it a shot. I am certainly not seeking a soul mate or anything. But I have never really dated. I have usually fallen into relationships quickly (S refers to me as "the nesting guy."), so I would like to gain some measure of comfort in dealing socially with the opposite sex.

Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
