Crap I swiped Left

I stink at dating. It's true, I have always found it easier to have guy friends than boyfriends and it never bothered me growing up. I wouldn't get asked to school dances, but I was the first girl the guys would text on the weekend to hangout. Granted that text had the subtext of, bring your hot friends with you. I was ok with that, and through college it didn't bother me. Now that I am 28, I figured it was time to jump back into the dating world. I haven't had a relationship that would be considered "facebook official" since 2004. Sure there have been casual dating and a few first dates, but I decided that work came first and dating second. My friends have mostly all gotten married and have started to have kids and I figured maybe I should try the dating scene again. The sad truth is, I really just want a companion to do things with, go on trips, hike, dinner, running events, all selfish reasons, but my reasons nonetheless. I tried 'Plenty of Fish' based on a suggestion from my friend Jamie. You just get to swipe left or right based on looks. Superficial, but fun. I got bored though after a week and quit. Next I downloaded 'Tinder', same premise but it links with your facebook profile so you know its legit. But I still wasn't getting results, just a lot of matches. My new years resolution is to go on three dates this year and I needed to step up my game. 'OK Cupid' was the next step. So now I have two apps going and so far guys are responding. Still a few creeps but I have gotten the first date of 2014 out of the way. My favorite thing about this one is it has an UNDO button. Boy the amount of times I have swiped left by accident is high and I appreciate the do over. I will let you know how it goes....
