In Jeans or a Dress: Misadventures in Online Dating

Follow the ups and downs of one woman's plunge into the world of online dating. Using journal entries, e-mail excerpts, and dater profiles, In Jeans or a Dress cuts through the spin to show the realities of online dating, positive and negative. My six months of online dating experiences are set against the backdrop of my struggle to find a place for myself between the growing minority that says it's okay to be single and the still-overwhelming majority that says it is not.

Nov. 27, 2003: Thanksgiving

Not much going on, predictably. No response from Greg to yesterday's message, and I wouldn't expect one on Thanksgiving. I'm glad he has better things to do (what does it say about me that I checked? Well, I was online anyway, so there). However, in MM, THEHAWK209 apparently doesn't—his message came in this afternoon. I'll check it tomorrow. It's just too sad to work on online dating on a holiday, even if the late news is running a story tonight about how much more acceptable online dating is these days. So glad to have their seal of approval.

I'll probably start my next round of shopping on Saturday. In the meantime, Tim and I made tentative dinner plans for this weekend, but tentative is the word. He was scheduled to return from Las Vegas today, so we'll see when and if he calls.
