Internet dating is weird. I haven't done anything other than Tinder but I've looked into other options and it all seems like a lot of time and effort just to maybe meet somebody. That's really the only part I'd be interested in, the entire game leading up to that point is an inefficient drain.

Kudos to you for seeming to have found a way to make it work.

Preach.

Dude, that is dating. I wouldn't say I've made it work, but rather that it's limping along. I'm not really sure where to meet women in Boston actually, so for the moment, here I am . . .

Hm. So I clicked this and it copied your text a bunch of times instead of just once. Weird. True, all my relationships have been a result of some completely off-chance encounter where things just fell forward from there, so any real work is well...work.

I met a lot at house shows in the area, and through other people.

Edit: I should clarify that my "time and effort" comment is directly related to what ref is talking about when she describes it as being a proscribed process.

What is weird is that on these dates, it's been awkward to bring up the online aspect (like profile and stuff therein).
