Online Dating: Musings of a 13 Year Old
I’m slowly winding down my adventures in online dating. After a number of attempts it has becoming plainly clear it just isn’t the right forum for me. My heart is no longer in the game and my head is focused on other things. OKCupid ran out of arrows, Plenty of Fish ran out of bait and now all I’m left with is my lone Match.com account which should lapse soon.
What does this have to do with a 13 year old you ask? There are a myriad of reasons that being an aunt is nothing short of amazing. But then, when you are apparently short on conversation topics, you have a text conversation with your 13 year old niece regarding your romantic life and online dating and your mind is blown.

(I think her idea of doing one’s hair is a little different than my idea of doing one’s hair.
Her’s involves a curling iron, complicated braids, clips and glitter or streaks of My Little Pony color. Mine involves a hair tie.)
Might as well make the most of the remaining days…this ought to be interesting.
