Yes this is an online dating thread. You have been warned.
So I made a profile on OKCupid a while ago just to try it out. I'd sent out a bunch of greetings and until yesterday had nothing to show for it (curse you, male/female ratio!). Then last night out of the blue, someone actually responded! A super intelligent engineering student and really attractive to boot. She had just landed a job in my state and was planning on moving right after graduating. Couldn't believe my luck.
We had a really nice conversation and it seemed like we had a lot in common. I allowed myself to think maybe there could be a chance I'd get to meet her. All of a sudden she stopped responding... I thought, "well, probably something came up" and went to bed. The next day I check back and it turns out she'd deleted her profile.
Kind of makes me not want to do this anymore, if this is the sort of thing that happens all the time on sites like these. My expectations of finding a relationship online were low to begin with, but this stung pretty bad regardless. Maybe I should just get a pet.
