Tonight is the Night.

After three weeks of searching my first date has found me. She found me two weeks ago on  a site called Zoosk. She is 20 years and her name is Ashley. We have been texting in the between then and now. I am nervous beyond belief. Anyway I will tell all either Sunday or Monday.

It's Yu Darvish All Over Again

I am a huge baseball fan and since I live in Canada, in the Toronto area, naturally my favorite team is the Toronto Blue Jays. Now, two weeks before Christmas the Jays were rumored, by many, to be the top bidder for the services of Japanese superstar pitcher Yu Darvish but nobody could say with certainty until a week later when the winning team was announced. The bid was said to be about $50 million. I was very excited about the possibility of Darivsh becoming a member of the Jays.  As it turned out, Darvish would not be plying his trade in Toronto but rather the Texas Rangers were the team that won the bidding. The Blue Jays could not deliver a Christmas gift to their supporters.

Moving to this week, you may recall that I found someone via my craigslist posting, if you do not  and she wanted to meet. I sent an e-mail on Wednesday evening offering a prospects on where to meet and when to do so.  I suggested that we meet tonight in a central part of town, tonight. The thing is that she, as of January 6 at 12:38, is yet to respond to my e-mail. I do not know what to make of this she responded to my first e-mail the same day I sensed it but in two days I have yet to receive a response to my second e-mail. She seemed very interested in meeting, we exchanged photographs of ourselves. I just do not know what to make of this. Is she backing out or has she yet to check her e-mail. I do not know. What I do know is that is that I am kind a miffed by this. I do not care if she has changed her mind or not but at lest I want to know if she has or not. What do you think readers, am I overacting or not, plead your case in the comments section.

This is the second time in a month I felt that I have got something but in the end it was all for not. To quote Yogi Berra "it's deja vu all over again"

So, it Begins

Since I do not have any experience in attracting people, I decided to get my first date on via the Internet.  I felt that the Internet allowed me to to lay out my intentions in full and not leave anything to the imagination and I did not have to try to pick up anyone, they came to me. My first stop was craigslist where I posted an advertisement stating who I am and what I am looking for. I placed my advertisement just after midnight on Monday and later that morning at around 10am when I went to check my e-mail there were three replies, or what I thought were replies. They were spamers but I did not know that at the time. So, I replied and that was a mistake. Now, almost five times a day I am getting e-mails from "people" that want to meet me and they all want me to see there profile on some scam website. So,  I replied to craigslist ads and only got one response then I went to a site called datehookup.com again only one, negative, response. That all changed last night when I got a real response, on my craigslist ad, even thought she does not believe in asexuality and she is not looking for a relationship right now, she does want to meet. YES! Partial success!

We have sent each other a few emails and I have asked her out on friday night. She has yet to respond.

When I meet her I will tell you how it went.

An Introduction

Well hello there Internet!

 I might as well introduce myself, my name is Jared and this year I am about to go against every fiber in my body and start dating. I have never even tried to get a date or even flirted before in my life, I am 23 years old. No, I am not an ultra social conservative, in fact I am a social liberal and a somewhat fiscal conservative if you must know, nor do I suffer from extreme social anxiety or, am someone who just looks for one night stands. The reason why I have not done anything close to dating is that I am an aromantic asexual, meaning that I am not attracted to anyone in a romantic or sexual nature.

The reason why I am dating is two-fold, first of all I feel that by being an aromantic asexual but I want to date just for the experience of dating and  right now I do not feel challenged in my life right now, as I am in a gap in my education right now.

Come with me as I enter the dating jungle. I will give the good, the bad and, the just plan wrong. I plan to post some tips and tricks that I find useful, so you might learn a thing or two yourself.

Stay tuned, because tomorrow, or maybe tonight, I will post what I have done and what I have experienced, to this point.
