How's OKCupid Working Out For You?
When I first moved to the Bay Area 3 years ago, I did a lot of internet dating. I didn't know many people in the area and it was a great way to meet new people, experience new things, and learn about the area. This past year I have done very little internet dating (most of the men I have dated recently have been introduced to me through friends, a MUCH preferred method) although I'm still open to it and maintain an online profile on a couple of free sites. In my time on these sites, I have come across a few friends and ex-boyfriends from HS. This was not concerning to me. I'm not embarrassed to be online dating and I think my profile is pretty good, so I don't mind people seeing it/knowing about it. The other day, however, I had an interaction that was rather uncomfortable...
It was the start of the new school year and my first week back at work. I was having some problems with my work laptop. I chased down (literally) the tech support guy and begged him to help me- trying to work the cute/helpless angle for faster service. It worked. He dropped what he was doing to come help me. Awesome. While working on my computer, he turns to me and says "So, how's OKCupid working out for you." My mouth dropped open instantly and I managed to get out some amazingly articulate statement to the effect of "Uhhh, um, uhh, WHAT?" I racked my brain. Had I checked my dating website email from that laptop? I didn't think so. Was my internet usage being monitored?? He then informs me that he, too, had a profile on that website and that my profile frequently popped up as a suggestion for him. He assumed I had noticed that he had repeatedly checked out my profile (the website shows you who has looked at you). I had not noticed, and informed him of this. He continued to work on my computer and sortof flirt with me for the next hour. This may have been one of the most awkward hours of my life. If I have laptop issues again I'll just a buy a new one...
