Alright, confess odd things.

For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

I confess to finding hitting on people over the internet very, very strange and sorta creepy.

No, I find it a little odd, too.

But then, I find dating sites a little weird, too.

RE: Hitting on over the internet: I usually interpret it as done facetiously. However, if it's done sincerely, that's not that farfetched either. Over the internet you don't have to deal with physical appearances and awkwardness, so someone can come off as more "likeable/dateable" than in real life.

Of course, the Real Life / internet persona split can go the other way too.

Luckily, I've only been hit on once here, and only kinda, which is exactly like Real Life. So clearly I'm doing something right. And something else really wrong, wangst wangst wangst.

The dating site that bothers me is eHarmony, at least from the commercials. Those couples are model couples! I wouldn't trust it if I was older.

No offense Vandro, but you didn't know how old I was? I've said it like 10 times.  *

Because, well, for the reasons you mentioned and because its easier to deceive.

Melloncollie: This is a parody but I think that they know what they're talking about.

Heh. I see what you mean. I guess I kinda treat it like harmless fun most of the time...? It's not like we're internet-molesting each other. Oh boo hoo, somebody groped me through the tubes internet.

Oh, it's pretty much always facetious here, I don't mind that.

The only time internet flirting seems to unnerve me is when it's happening to me. There are many reasons to this. If it is not then I don't mind it really. I don't really notice it either when it's not happening to me.

Being groped through the tubes sounds painful. And less like groping and more like surgery.

Well, it's all in jest anyways, so it's not like there's anything really creepy about it. I've had creepier things said to me in real life than here.

To expand on my reasons...

I don't know if they're being sincere. I fear hurting and upsetting people. We've talked about this. Also, I don't know how to kindly respond that I don't want to interact in such a way.

On real life and creepy things: I've been stalked by a man in a car. A drunk has tried to get me to a bar. A man wanted my company...Repeat this a few more times. I am truly jailbait.

I see nothing wrong with it, although I never do it and don't plan to, fact which might or might not be influenced by all the userbases of the communities I go living over 2000 miles away from me. It's almost always funny and all in all pretty harmless.
