Not from blogging, from match.com and okcupid.com
That's where things have gone. 25 and I had a conversation two weeks ago that went like this:
Me: Are you still on match?
Him: Uh, I think i still have a membership but I never go on it.
PAUSE
Him: I guess stop it so it doesn't auto renew me when it ends in April.
Me: Does that mean you're ending your match membership?
Him: Yea, I think so.
Me: Ok, I'll end mine when it's up in May too.
We met on match. Somehow, all my ridiculous online dating stories turned in to a "success story", but don't tell match.com that or I'll probably have to do some shmarmy commercial.
We started really slow. I think our first three dates were spread over about six weeks or so. We both dated other people for a couple months. We never had a typical commitment talk. We've talked about what we might want going forward but never exactly a talk to figure out if we are "together", dating, involved or whatnot. So this was our talk.
I assume, and feel good about that assumption, not that I'm making an "ass out of u and me" (think about it!) that we are together. I see him at least four evenings a week. We have plans throughout the summer including camping, concerts and weekends away. If that doesn't mean something then having a "talk" wouldn't either.
I feel good about giving the online dating a rest. Luckily, should the need arise, it'll be there for me to peruse again.
