Dating

I am so glad I am not into the dating scene anymore. I was reading about it recently and had to laugh about what people were experiencing. I know a lot of people who have tried online dating and did not have a whole lot of success. My poor athlete friend ended up going out on a date with the same person twice without either one of them even realizing it until they showed up. Hello!! I don't get it, we don't live in a small town or anything. Lots of fish in the sea I would think. Same sex online dating is not unlike the hetro variety. There are nice people, strange people, and those that make excellent friend. Speaking of which, I need to write to my friend Yo and get an update on her life with her partner.
They just moved from Philly back to Virginia and we haven't been keeping up very well. I do not care to lose friendships, especially with other gay people. All of our gay friends are Gretchens and it just isn't the same. Yo was such a great friend through my problems with J. I am sure she was very sick of hearing about the details, but she was the one person who I could tell what I did and not fear rejection. She was up front about her feelings on the situation, but in the next moment she reassured me by placing her trust in my hands. Exactly what I needed.
She is a very funny person. She had this dating survey that she made up and gave to me when we met. It was just a joke, but I think she was kind of serious. She was so young. I actually asked about id when we met and she was totally offended. Love her! I have to write tonight. Her survey:
