A Self-Experiment

Putting yourself out there - in the dating pool - can be a crazy experience. I've been single for quite some time now (and yes it's been more than a week- seriously I am not joking here) and recently I rediscovered how nice it is to simply go out for dinner or the movies with a person you barely know but feel like you have same values or little things in common. I had one of these nice evenings just a week ago and nothing came out of it but even so I enjoyed the attention and conversation very much. And let's be honest the fact that his attention was with me all evening.

That is why I thought to myself: I really need to put myself more out there. The problem: how to achieve that. Well I decided since I've got a busy schedule and am not the party girl myself and more and more of my uni colleagues and buddies use it I would just give it a try: a dating app. 

I was always a firm believer in "I do not need the Internet" or phrases like "if you need to search online for company you really are pathetic". Well I decided that it is more and more normal these days to meet people online. So: why not?

I downloaded Lovoo and set up my profile. Why Lovoo? Simply because I did not have to link it to my (nonexistent)-Facebook account and could use my email to register. Plus it has enough users in my area to make sense to try it out and not only awkwardly bump into my grandma's neighbour online (thank god I moved away^^). Basically I chose the App with logical thinking. Is that a good start? No idea, but I will take that into account when I draw my conclusions.

Is is a bit weird for our society to search for relationships online? Yes, I still think so. But especially our generation, that spends so much time on the Internet they even call us "digital natives" it seems to be more common to at least try this means of meeting new people.

So here it goes: I will try this out until shortly before Christmas and then will either stop using it because it is simply a waste of my time or continue using it. Who knows what's going to happen?
