I did it!

Yep, you heard me, I did it! I am no longer single! I am officially in a relationship and has been for soome months now. How did we meet? Well, people always said that he'll come around when you least expect it, but to be quite frankly, after 2,5 years, I was getting a bit tired of waiting. My best party-pal was slowly pulling away from our happy-go-lucky lifestyle out on the town every weekend, and had desided to focus more on her studies. Guys were not exactly quing up outside my door so I had to take matters into my own hands.

Friends friends? Well, there were not that many to choose from. Getting a hobby to meet men? Isn't that just the wrong way about it? I could potentially end up climbing mountains ofrgo kajakking the rest of my life and I don't like either! Meeting someone out on town? Well, I had tried...for a LONG time. No, new methods had to be considered, and everything was pointing thowards online dating. Scary, yes, I know, but quite entertaining too.

You won't believe (or maybe you have checked it out for yourself...admit it, you HAVE looked!) how many strange people are on these sites. Why would someone choose a picture of themselves where they are totally sunburned..or even worse, a picture where it's quite obveous that the x-girlfriend has been cut out of the picture - so to speak. And it's quite strange how many overly-sporty people are on these sites. They all looove to walk in the mountains, looove the outdoors, skiiing, climbing mountains, jogging and the list just keeps going. I doubt many of them can keep this up in real life.

When I saw a profile that had a more realistic, funny and different approach, I was intrigued. Enough to copy the consept actually. I ended up describing myself as lazy and a bit strange - of course with a positive spin on it and some other great qualitys too... don't want to scare them all off either. Well, after reading the 80 e-mails that found their way into my mailbox after only two days, I ended up chatting with this one guy... He stood out from the others, funny, smurk remarks, a quick wit, and good values. Well, long story short, the first date was a success, and so was the second and third...and so the story goes. And it all started with me copying his site...

I dedicate this blog to Kidrobot - my inspiration. 

Love,
