My kind-of attempts to get into dating....

I've reached a funny stalemate with myself about dating.  The truth is, I would very much like to meet a guy, go out, get to know him, share my thoughts, laugh, joke, cuddle, be romantic, and all that shit.  The problem is that from what I hear and see of other people's relationships dating is just a farce.  Lie about how easy going you are.  Pretend to be OK with the other person's emotional distance.  Set aside pieces of yourself so things go more smoothly.  Do this until you get married and then it's open season on how unaccommodating you want to be or accept it and lose those little pieces for ever.

It seems like a lot of bullshit to go through just for some semi-regular sex and the right to post kissy pics on FB.

With that in mind, my Internet dating is a little wah-wah-wahhhh..... Very few prospects and all the answers make me bored.  Plus, the majority of my matches are short.  I was very clear in my settings that I didn't want to date someone under 5'9" (because I'm 5'6" and sometimes like to wear heels that make me 5'10" and anyone under the approved height minimum would make me look like a freaking Amazon.)  They need to make a new website called NapoleonComplexSingles.com where all the short people can go to pretend to find love.

I've been texted by 3 of the guys I went through the communication process with and they are all inept in some way.  One just wants to meet up and I've forgotten everything I've learned about him already.  Two goes with the closed ended statements about himself.  How am supposed to respond to that Two?  Say how awesome your statement is just to keep up this disappointing illusion of a conversation?  Not gonna happen.  Three is hit or miss and has already used the word kinky.  All 3 chose to text rather than call.

Needless to say I have been on zero dates.

This doesn't upset me, just makes me less enthusiastic about even trying to date.  Sure, I want all the mushy crap and sex but I want that to be a accompanied by a brain and some genuine interest thrown my way.  So, I'm not going to sweat it.  I will continue to go about my business and wait for an opportunity to jump a stranger.  (With that comment I expect a call from Chloe "seeing how things are going")
