My Millenial BFF although incredibly online savvy has been very hesitant to dip her toes in the online dating pool. Maybe she's read my blog? Finally she takes the plunge and it goes...OK. Not bad, not good - I'd say that's just right for your first time.

Comments:

There was nothing wrong with the guy, the date was just a total flatline. It was like having dinner with a relative I'd never met before. And judging from his inability to keep any sort of eye contact, his posture, and his ill-fitting clothes, he may not be very confident. To be fair though, it was my first OkCupid date and I agreed to it because I knew he wouldn't be very intimidating. It was my way of dipping my feet in the water, which in hindsight is a little selfish since I wasted his time. But hey, he didn't pay and we went to dinner across the street from his apartment so... I didn't put him out that bad. While this experience didn't necessarily leave a bad taste in my mouth or anything, it certainly has me thinking that online dating will be a lot more of sifting through the duds than I originally anticipated.
