Freethinker Match.com

Date Posted: 02.16.08

I joined a matchmaking website. It is called Freethinker Match. I joined on a whim really. I saw it, thought it was cool and joined. I figured I would at least meet some interesting people to E-mail. I didn't even post a picture.

I haven't initiated many conversations at all. I can’t in good conscience initiate contact with someone who is seeking a long term commitment. I don’t want to lead anyone on, because I have no idea what I want but I suspect I am not ready to go that far. I have responded whenever anyone has written. I haven't kept up conversations every time, but I try to at least be polite.

Right off the bat I have to say it is a better experience than match.com. Match.com was annoying. It was like the men didn't even bother to read my profile. They just clicked on pictures they liked and figured that was enough. It was like a point and click date. That is so much not what I had in mind. I did meet a couple of cool guys through Match, but it wasn't worth the effort of dealing with the idiot mail.

I have sincerely enjoyed the conversations with men from freethinker match. Most of them have been thoughtful and well written.

It is a relief to be able to have a common philosophical starting point. I already posted about Christian and atheist relationships. I don't even want to head in that direction.

I did post in my profile that I am only looking for a pen-pal or maybe a casual relationship. I don't want to mislead anyone. I do want to fall in love, but I am not out stalking it.
