Well, Sports Fans, on June 30 at midnight I withdrew my personal ad ending a 3 year process that has yielded confused results. Initially an experiment from a foreign country into the realms of cyber-socializing that evolved into a myriad of chats, dates, and interactions - that particular monkey can now ride on someone else's back.
What I gained from this experience was disillusionment, punctuated moments of spurious joy, copious amounts of criticism, a refined sense of self, tidbits of sheer delight and a couple of friends. However, most importantly, I came to realize that there can never be a substitute for seeing someone across a crowded room; for the palpitating intrigue of chance meeting; or for the comfort of a best friend over a game of Scrabble.
The cyber-dating world is for the faint-of-heart and for the insecure. An outlet for fantasy and self re-invention. I leave it gladly and know that my search for intimacy will be much better served out there in that wide world of reality no matter how harsh it may be.
Good Luck to all of you who are still searching!
