How much is too much? How bold is too bold? How much are you willing to accept? How far do the boundaries of your comfort level stretch? I mean, going on an online dating website can be classified as a bold thing to do. Then how much are you willing to tolerate on this site from these people you do not know? I mean you’re already put in a vulnerable situation: deciding how much information you can post about yourself, who are you opening yourself up to, is the picture really the person you’re talking to, what if you meet and he’s a rapist, etc etc etc…the list goes on. You finally make all of these decisions then begins the messaging! You have no control over what people chose to tell you about yourself or your profile. And you have no control over who finds you attractive! And even worse you have no control over the fact that the people attracted to you aren’t attractive and the people you’re attracted to aren’t interested. So begins the compromise!
But these messages you get from people who are interested…how much do you compromise? Do you still talk to a guy who straight asks you to be his girlfriend without saying hi, or who invites you over after one message, or who thinks you’re sexy as hell and wants to know you more, or who asks you why you’re single cuz you’re gorgeous or who shows you half naked pictures of himself?! Like How bold is too bold? How much is too much and how much do you compromise in the quest for something that resembles that thing you see in every romance comedy that’s ever existed and all those songs that play on the radio on Valentine’s day?
I think it’s all becoming too much! Stay Tuned
