Dating in the Dark is the new trend.
The idea is to meet someone in the dark, and touch them. Then If you like what you feel, you ask for a date. When I first heard about it, I did everything I could to stop laughing. Until I got the call from my friend; a gorgeous 50-something brunette. My friend is blind.
She’d lost her eyesight years ago, to a retinal degenerative disease, while in her early thirties. “I’m engaged!” she said. My friend had just broken off a 3-year relationship with her boyfriend. Fast forward to three months later, and she is engaged to a totally new man. She’d met at a family gathering. Her grown son, also blind, had introduced his business associate.
My friend relies on her sense of touch when evaluating her dates. Her
fiance is totally sighted; a kind and successful business owner. “He is rather easy on the eyes,” she said to me. Of course, you ask "How can she know this, right?" And they are in completely in love. You can feel the energy in the air. You can see it!
Now, juxtapose my friend’s way of dating and mine. I swear by online dating. I need to see, read email, and get lost in the conversation, before I even agree to meet for a date. First, I post my picture and profile and begin my search for the type of man I want to date. I have been a member on a couple of different online dating sites.
I want to check out
Sugardaddie.com for obvious reasons. Although, if you want to have a
discreet affair, then
Ashley Madison is the online dating site for you. Discreet? If you happen to talk in your sleep, then you might want to reconsider this one. I would be totally busted.
Chemistry.com and
LavaLife.com and
Singlesnet.com are my Affiliate partner sites. I hear some really good things about them. I talk in my sleep! I would be totally busted.
Just like every other straight girl out there, I want to meet “Mr. Right.” But, if he’s not appealing to my eyes, I do not want to go any further. I simply pump the brakes and bail out before I get started. Okay. I am shallow and superficial. Often the two adjectives run in pairs. I imagine that I have passed on some very nice men and
did not realize it.
Then comes this new trend “Dating in the Dark,” and suddenly I devour information about it. Studies show that when men touch a woman in the dark and likes her, then he is more likely to ask her out after the lights come on. But, for women, it’s the complete opposite. However, one day, I might be willing to trying it. What about you?
