The time I failed at Internet Dating

I signed up to do something about 2 or 3 weeks that I never ever imagined myself doing. I signed up for Eharmony. I have mocked internet dating in the past and maybe even called it things like "creepy and desperate". But then reality sets in. I am a 24 year old nanny trying to make a career in the fashion industry. My demographic is 8 year old girls and gay men. I don't really meet people except in passing. Maybe this could be an okay thing. So I bit the dust and for 60 dollars I got three months of the service.

3 weeks later and not a single date. People have contacted me. People who I have absolutely no physical attraction to. Or someone will contact me and then they will say something like they are fine with any schedule except someone who is really busy with a somewhat crazy schedule. That is fine but that doesn't match with me. I prefer someone with a crazy schedule because they understand why I have a crazy schedule.

There was one guy who caught my attention and we emailed back and forth. And back and forth. And back and forth. Long messages. Basically we were pen pals. And then...he got into med school in another state. Up until this point we had really good conversations and then I suggested we actually hang out and he went missing. This past weekend he sent me a message that he didn't think he should start something when he is moving out of state and that I seem a bit too reserved for him. I am a lot of things but reserved is not one of them. I wrote back a very polite email and wished him luck in life. I wrote a sentence about how ACTUALLY I am not reserved at all and that if he actually knew me then he would know that. I deleted that sentence because I didn't want to come off as crazy.

How is it that I am failing at even finding dates on the internet? I know its only been three weeks but come on?!?! There has to be someone in the world who is kind of attractive and loves Jesus and also thinks I am interesting enough to go on a date with. Sheesh.
