Meeting People Online (dating?)

These are notes from my first two encounters with OkCupid-ers.

• When I'm ready for it, meeting new people is pretty okay.
• It's nice that they necessarily give me a clean slate.
• Asking questions is fun.
• Seeing how people respond to your inapproprite humor is an adventure.
• Sometimes they are handsome.
• Sometimes they help you de-wing a duck.
• It is common enough that people are not always rapists (2 out of 2 encounters confirm!).
• After two hours, I still have only a vague understanding of who I'm with.
• I have invested nothing so I can afford to be myself. Which is to say, I can afford to be awful.
• It's nice to drop some bombs early so as to not wonder what the response will later be.
• I can be normal(ish)!!
• waking up in georgetown.
