November 27, 2010 is the day a Long Island, New Yorker contacted me on InterracialMatch.com. I've never really been a fan of internet dating but reading the discussions on some of the blogs here had me thinking. I'm still young (24 soon to be 25) but I long to have a special someone in my life. Seems like all the guys I meet and am attracted to are already taken or not interested.
So I clicked the link to this site from Evia's blog (I believe) and decided to try it out. A day or so after putting up my profile I got an e-mail from NY guy. He's handsome, looks Italian. From his profile he looked to be an interesting person so I emailed him back. Ten days later we're writing book long emails back and forth everyday since. He seems to have a great personality. I'm a little skeptic because NY is coming off like just the man I've always saw myself with. We have a lot in common as far as I can tell.
I don't have any expectations. I won't say he's the one, I don't know him yet. A week after emailing he asked if he could come to Jersey to see me. Of course I declined, one because I don't know him and two because I never want to come off as being anxious and/or desperate. This is turning out to be a very intriguing situation so I think I'll keep posting on how we progress if such a progression should happen.
Bright Blessings
This blog is inspired by a group of women that have seriously opened my eyes. It is my way of sharing my thoughts on the lives and loves of AA women. I'm hoping to connect with the wonderfully intelligent women of this site to gain insight as to the state of today's AA woman.
Declining him to come down because you don't know him is understandable, but be careful about the whole "trying not to come off as anxious and/or desperate" game. From a guys perspective we hate those kind of games, if we like you we will like you the same whether your the most popular girl in town or some loner who doesn't know anyone. And from your pic your a very beautiful girl and any guy with half a brain will know your not desperate.
