My Single Life - Blog

I was chatting away to my new guy today. I still feel confused over who I like the most. My best mate keeps telling me not to worry about it and to enjoy it. Both the guys seem like decent blokes, but I realise I do need to be a little cautious, after all how could I really know them without having never met them? I don't feel I know the new guy just as well as the first guy just yet. I feel I clicked with the first guy. I just wonder if they are chatting to other girls. I try not to think about that one too much, I'd rather not know at this point. It's not as if I am their girlfriend and I don't want to come across as a jealous person.

I was up really late last night talking to my first guy. I feel like I've known him for years. He has actually dropped hints about meeting up but we haven't arranged anything, not sure if it's too soon. I really really like him though. My friend in work who knows all about it is being really pathetic towards me. She keeps saying things like "it won't work out" or "he is lying". Anyone would think she is jealous of my new-found attention! She is in a relationship with an idiot, so I think she is taking it out on me because I'm happy for once. She was different towards me when my last relationship ended, but now I've got myself together she doesn't like it. Oh well, she will just have to get used to it. I'm the happiest I've been in ages plus I feel like I'm 17 again.

Today I got chatting to one of the other guys I contacted! I really like him too!!!! I feel like I'm being unfaithful to the other guy I like, but how can I be when I have never met them? I spent ages talking to my new guy and he seems really sweet. He is really funny too. I have had some people show interest in me in the last few days, and I know it sounds awful but I can't seem to get excited about that because I really like the two guys I'm talking to. I don't want to seem rude and not respond to contact requests I have received, but then again I don't want to lead them on. I'll have a little think about it. I might just send a simple reply so I don't come across as being rude, for all I know I may end up really liking one of them.

Been chatting loads to the guy I like today. He said he is looking for a long-term relationship which surprised me. I don't know why but I assumed the guys that go on the websites were just after a good time, guess I got that one very wrong.

Today I got chatting to one of the guys I contacted!!!! I was really excited, felt like a silly school girl. I really didn't expect to have a reply so soon, so I was really chuffed when I saw it. He seems really nice. He seemed to like me too. I was worried I wouldn't know what to write, but it was fine. He asked me quite a few questions which helped break the ice. I didn't think it was possible to like someone this much after chatting online just once! A friend at work keeps telling me not to get my hopes up, wish she would just let me enjoy myself. One of my best mates is really excited for me. She is all ready to plan a double date with him and me with her and her boyfriend. Think I'll get to know him a little better first, don't want to scare him away!

I finally made a contact request! I ended up contacting 3 blokes in the end. They all seemed really nice and I couldn't decide who I liked most, so thought I'd contact all 3. I hope they like me, or at least one of them. Think I'm starting to get addicted to this online dating stuff. I was sitting at my desk in work today looking at the website, hope no one saw me as I'm not supposed to use my work computer for personal stuff, hope they don't monitor what we look at. I'll be really gutted if none of the guys like me. I'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Wow, there are some dishy people on the site. I wish everyone had a photo though, I know it's not all about looks, but I like to see what people look like before I talk to them. I don't know whether to contact just one guy who I really like, or contact loads of blokes and see what happens, I don't want to be greedy! In the past I've always gone out with guys who I think are really good looking, but some of them were real losers. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't influenced by the photos, but I did read what the blokes had put in their profile. Think I'll have to get the courage to make a contact request. I don't know what I'm so worried about, probably rejection. I'm just a little worried my feelings will be hurt if he doesn't reply to my contact request. I might do it tomorrow.

Hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Jess. I'm 27 years old and new to this online dating thing. I am actually a friend of the guys who run this website who I have known for years, and they have asked me if I would write a diary style journal of my experience using their website. I agreed to do it as I love writing, plus maybe I will help others along the way with any dilemmas or problems they may have in the dating field, not to mention I'm hoping to find a bloke on here. To be honest I never thought a dating website was for young professionals like me, but I've had a look and see that all sorts of people are on here which has surprised me. I've had my fair share of boyfriends in the past and only 2 quite serious relationships, but now I'm single again. I've been single for about the last 4 months which was fine at first but now I'm getting a bit fed up with being on my own. Well, tonight I plan to have a good look at who is out there, after all I have nothing to loose. I'm quite excited about it to be truthful.
