Overall, though, I was glad to be on the other end of the contact equation. Perhaps more women are realizing that given how many of us are doing online dating these days, just sitting back and waiting for the inbox to fill might not cut it anymore.

I'll let you in on a little secret: it doesn't matter really if you are single or partnered. It really doesn't.

You might think your life depends on finding that special someone. You might wake up in the middle of the night after a nightmare about growing old in your house full of cats. You might wake up from the dream embrace of some hot someone and shout "Damn!" at the top of your lungs, waking your neighbors again. You might find yourself having heart palpitations or choking fits after seeing the fiftieth lovey-dovey couple walking down the street past you. You might have read studies that suggest single people are "less healthy" than partnered folks, or that single people live shorter lives, and think your doomed. You might ...

And that's the point. It's goes on and on like this, as long as you let it. The best partnered people tend to be people who are also great at being alone. Being themselves alone. Enjoying themselves as they are.

There's your pep talk for the week, single folks! Now get out there and be fine with your bad self. By yourself. And just maybe, all that shine and positive energy will draw that special someone right to you.

You know what an average guy will do if he's "meh" about a woman, and the woman keeps initiating contact? He'll meet with her since she insists, have sex, and disappear. Ask me how I know :(

Then again, to be fair, in this particular case, I wasn't all that interested...

What if this had been a man you were really interested in?

See, while I agree that a lot of men are going to initiate things if they are interested, the reality is that the sands are shifting on dating. There are more men who aren't willing to chase (myself included), which means that we want women to put in a fair share of effort, and be willing to risk rejection.
