Online Dating In The City

My friend, after dating a jackass in secrecy is now dating someone good and is showing him off. I was so excited for her, I wanted to meet this new man in her life who is treating her well (hereafter known as "the boyfriend"). She then asked me if I would be interested in getting hooked up with his friend. She suggested we all go our for drinks, I of course agreed, why not? At this point, there is no harm meeting people. We decided to hit up a patio at Yonge and Sheppard called Nome. I got a message from my friend saying that the guy was most likely not going to come, but I was ok with that because I was excited to see my friend and her new man. I arrived and with some drinks we were having a good times, seemed like my friend and her boyfriend were really into each other. They were telling me about their dates during these Covid-19 times and it turns out he knew a lot of my friends. Then his friend came. His friend was not bad looking, he is a mechanic (hereafter know...

I am an assistant, so I keep impeccable records for my boss because I run her life, and I am very organized when I travel to the point where you know what I will be doing by the hour. When it comes to online dating, my records are not organized at all and I learned the consequence of that today. When I exchange numbers, I don't save them in my phone because I know I will probably get sick of talking them and just ghost them, because I am a coward like that. When I get ghosted, I am ok with that too because these talks are not serious. There is a Portuguese guy who I have been talking to off and on for probably 4 to 5 years, we always talk about meeting up, but his schedule is a pretty crazy because he does shift work and when he is not doing shift work, I am working crazy hours.  Spec: Portuguese Lives with his sister in Toronto Works for some retail distributing company (I keep forgetting) Likes to do stock market When we first started chatting he had dark br...

My mom is still on the hunt for finding me a man. Her neighbour friend knew a guy who apparently is SUPER NICE! If you haven't guessed my mom is pretty savage. She told her friend I was fat, to warn this guy (and people wonder why we girls have complexes and body image issues)! Spec: Born in Korea, came to Canada when he was 15 Works for Bosch Appliances as a repairman Lives in North York Has a younger sister My mom trying to hook me up with a guy is like throwing wet paper towels to the ceiling and seeing which ones sticks. Talking to this guy was like pulling teeth. It was sooooo painful. Because of the quarantine, we had no lives or updates to talk about, we also seemed to have nothing in common. Travel is a big part of my life. I asked him if he liked to travel. First he said yes, but then said he hasn't traveled much and that he was waiting for "someone special" to travel with. THAT IS A PET PEEVE OF MINE!!!! If you have only been to Korea and Vancouver...

2020 has not been a good year. On January 20, 2020 my dad was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street and died on the spot. On January 25, 2020 we buried my dad and the first case of Covid-19 was reported in Ontario. How do I remember this? I remember watching CP24 while waiting for our food. Our family got together at my mom's place for dinner after the burial. On March 16th we were ordered to work from home. Toronto, like a lot of the cities in United States were shutting down except for essential services. So, during this time what do you do to pass time? Yes, work bazillion hours, but in between, I downloaded Tinder and Bumble to see what was around. Even though I can't meet up with them, talking to them to pass the boredom was a great idea. PLUS, apparently divorce rate is going to be high after this pandemic, so might as well start looking and jump on them once the ink dries. There are three guys I have talked to, I met them through Tinder. 1st Lawyer, I wish he...
