Long time , no write.

It's been weeks since I really felt like blogging. Perhaps my blogging life is coming to an end? I just don't seem to have the motivation I once had for it. I'll give it another month....
Well, anyway, I do have good news to report. I had a date this past Friday and it went really well. Actually what started out as a lunch date ended up being an all day marathon. We were having such a good time that it just kept going and going. It started with him making me lunch (fried tofu, potatoes, and homemade fruit salad) then we went to the American Visionary Art Museum, to the National Aquarium, to dinner, and finally to the hookah bar. I had a great time. It was so refreshing to have a cute guy my age with his life together, say and do all the right things. We had plans to get together on Sunday but the noreaster took care of that. Since I had to work on Valentine's Day, he surprised me by coming to my job. After work we went out and grabbed drinks with some of my friends and then kissed under the moonlight in the parking lot before going our separate ways. (I know some of my readers want to know: yes, he's a great kisser) We have plans for Friday. I can't remember the last time I had an instant physical attraction and intellectual connection with someone. It seems like my whole life the guys I dated "grew on me". I'm really excited to see where things go.
In other news, my H.S. crush found me on myspace. How crazy is that?! He messaged me today. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about him! I was so shy around him all through H.S. My does time fly. So maybe we'll be friends in the end?
I think I've answered my own question about matches made in cyberspace. Be careful, be selective, and have fun!

Match made in cyberspace?

Okay, I need a little help here. I finally joined myspace after my friend was driving me nuts over it. I've been on for almost a month now. To date, I have received 12 messages from local guys wanting to get to know me. I have yet to respond to anyone. The whole idea of online dating creeps me out. I mean, you have absolutely no control over who is reading your profile. How do I know they are not some psycho? On the otherhand, some of these guys seem really cool and are quite cute. I have two friends who have met guys from myspace and things are going well. So here is my dilemma: to respond or not respond. I could be missing out on something good and I could be missing out on something bad. Even if I decide to respond - how does one possibly handle all these inquiries? What do you think? Anyone with experience and/or advice to offer?
**UPDATE**
As a lark, I posted on CL this afternoon. By midnight, I received 31 responses. Some were funny, intriguing, repulsing, and others just blah. It's an eerie feeling to have people respond like it is a job interview or sales pitch for a girl they don't even know. What does internet dating say about our culture as a whole?
