Online Dating sites - sigh!

So, I've been single for like over a year now. I'm cool with it, and pretty happy being single and independent & being able to do what I want, when I want.
However, like everyone, It would be neat to have someone to share stuff with, you know, like 'Man, did you see her boobs?' Usual chitchat ;) ha ha, but seriously, it would be cool.

I'm not stranger to online dating, I've been meeting people online for years. None of them have been axe murderers so far. They haven't all been as they've seemed though, and I think the net makes it easier for people to pretend to be something they aren't. I get it. Real life people can be scary.

Why am I writing this? Well, I don't mean to moan,but every time I've attempted online dating in recent years, its getting harder and harder to interact with people. I send messages to people who I think I would get on with, you know, have a decent conversation with, and most definitely people who don't constantly 'lol' but I get few replies. People seem disinterested in actually bothering with other people.

My other favourite on dating sites in 'Wants to date, but nothing serious'. I know what it means really. They want to get laid, and possibly go on casual dates. I get it. However us gals do have a tendency to get a little attached. I most certainly have these things called 'Emotions' which seem to affect my ability to not give a fuck. Darn it.

My point is that society seems to have changed massively, where everything is so instant, and so very disposable. Remember the good ole days, where if you had an argument of some sort, you'd try and figure it out? Yeah, those days are gone. People just break up and move on to the next. I get that the majority of people don't care, and you can only control your own reactions to that. I guess what makes me sad is that people, like everything else, have become disposable. Its all so,umm, soul-less.

I know that I for one, am trying to make more of an effort with the people in my life that matter, and the reactions are generally good. But I don't do it for the reactions. I do it because I want the people who matter to know that. Life is short and goes by so fast. It can be taken away at any moment, so I want to appreciate the people who matter to me, for them to know that someone cares and does love them, because I know we can all feel alone sometimes.

And eventually my Gemini brain kinda got to the point there.

Appreciate each other, make the effort, be Grateful.
Y'all will do what you want, but that's my thinking at the moment.
