Name: Andy

Age: 24

Job: Works @ a record label doing online marketing things

Location: Williamsburg

Compatibility Rating: 78% match, 81% friend, 20% enemy

What Caught My Attention: That shining head of hair.  Oh, and he's funny.  && pretty effing hot.

# of Dates: 2

What We Did: We originally made plans to get drinks at Meet the Johnsons, but I had to cancel.  We re-scheduged for happy hour drinks at 5 on a Sunday @ Pianos.  Went swimmingly.  Talked life, work, music, etc.. actually not one mention of the OkC site.  Stayed for more than one drink.  Had some laughs && fell momentarily in love. We exchanged numbers, & planned to meet up at SXSW since we were both going.  That never happened because we were too busy.  We did, however, get drinks the following week @ Sweet & Vicious.  That also went quite well, I thought.  Sadly, he never called me back.  It's been over two weeks.  Not gunna happen :(

Grade: A-

Would have actually loved to continue seeing him, but as I proposed our second date, I thought it would have been too hungry for me to do so for the next.  I may be slightly a feminist, but I am also a lady. Man should do the date planning.

OkCupid : Where I'm @@@@@ part deux !

It's trueeee, I forced my roommate to join.  She <3 'ed it at first but then got hit up too much and felt bad for not responding.  She has since deactivated.  

I've been getting hit up a lot by the nakeds.  What's concerning is our compatibility ratings.

Oh, && I went on dates.  Yes, yes.  Those to come.

Ok, Cupid. Show me what you got.

I have met many-a-past lovers at a plethora of places: bars, clubs, elevators, subways, on the street, in class, around town, on the town, out of town, upside-down of town, etc.  So when my friend told me he had joined an online dating website, I was kind of baffled.  Granted he is gay and the online dating scene seems to be much more booming for boys4boys, I was surprised because he is a good-looking, sweet, talented, smart, polite, and all around interesting guy.  Which got me thinking... MAYBE I SHOULD JOIN AN ONLINE DATING SIGHT?!?! I mean, I am a part media major, always looking to do new things that initially make me uncomfortable, yet allow me to explore new facets of my personality, thus ensuring I constantly stay open-minded and non-judgemental.  && it is not like this is a last resort- I am still meeting people all the time in real life... so why not experiment and see what it is like online?  Plus the site he joined was called "OkCupid", which I found incredibly adorable.  I do love anything Valentine's Day related.  

I signed up yesterday.  I have created a profile (with a firm disclaimer that my intentions are first and foremost my blogging, but I'm not necessarily ruling any sort of genuine 'connections' out).  I have answered compatibility questions.  I have browsed, messaged, and winked.  I will go on dates with these men.  I will tell you about it... but nothing too personal, I am not out to abuse feelings.

HOWEVER, I have already fallen in love twice.

I'm kind of excited.
