Why am I writing this? What's the purpose?

People have asked me why I am blogging while dating?

Why not?

Seriously, there are seriously funny things that people should read about these awkward vignettes of life, and then there are some truly atrocious things that should come to light.  In this day and age, where you can hide behind a screen until you meet them, you can be anyone you want to be, even to the point of defrauding someone of their dreams of forever or worse, their credit liabilities.

My roommate and I are "thirty-somethings" that are currently on a mission to find the men in our lives that make our lives better than what it was without them.  Though I only generally blog about my experiences and history, anytime she gives me fodder, I'm going to discuss it.

The other part to this is that I, along with other women (and men), are experiencing some seriously bad behavior online and in person.  If you haven't been propositioned for sex yet, you aren't online.  I have been emailed for all sorts of illicit behavior, asked about my personal preferences, and intimacy online before we even met.  I think people have managed to hide behind their computer screen too well, and have really lost their zest for approaching real people.  What if everyone had a level playing field with dating, wouldn't that be a nice dream?

 

So, in an effort to let other people know that "you are not alone," I am blogging experiences I come across in order to either discuss the norm as to what should happen, a correct response to what happened, or expose stupidities in our dating age. 

So that's my "Why?" moment.  If you want me to discuss a certain topic, post a comment, email me a request.  I will be more than happy to discuss your topic. :)

If I could, with this one little blog, change the bad behaviors of dating, that would be awesome.
