Update 9/27

So it's been a while since I posted, so I figured I'd update things.

First, the ex. She started freaking out after I didn't reply to her messages and ended up pestering one of my relatives to make sure I was ok. I felt kind of guilty so I messaged her not long after and let her know that yes, I was ok, and left it at that. Conversation with her is sporadic at best, and I'm doing my best to not let things get to me.

I've heard once or twice from the crazy park girl in the last couple weeks. She just got her pc back from the shop and now has started school. She no longer talks dirty anymore, and isn't really saying much of anything so I figure that's good.

There's a couple of girls that I've known for a long time that I'm talking to more frequently now and there could be some chemistry. As names are changed to protect the innocent, I'll call them the Singer and the Redhead. With both of these women, there is a mutual attraction, but there are circumstances that keep anything from happening, although it seems walls are crumbling. Both live a good distance away, however one is farther away than the other. We'll see what happens.

As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I recently joined the dating site Plenty of Fish. I've been attempting to contact potential dates, with only one or two replies, and a couple of unsolicited responses to my ad, although these have turned out to be incompatible for various reasons. The replies back that I've received have seemed promising, at least just to start a dialogue, which I suppose that's how everything gets started anyways, right? I have ran into a few people I know personally on the site, but I shall leave them anonymous, like me.

That's pretty much about it. I've gotten over my fears of contacting perfect strangers, so I'm sending out more feelers, and hoping to hear back more.
