Plenty of Fish in the Sea?
Most people run after a certain kind of love with a sense of desperation that I can’t understand. I was always the one in our group who abhorred public displays of affection and having a relationship just for the sake of not being alone. So when my friends told me that I should make one of those plenty of fish personals so that I could check out the guy they were telling me about I was not prepared to receive the attention that I did.
There were those who pretended to be more that they really were. So my friends asked my help to read between the lines of the plenty of fish personals they were reading. It was almost like a bonding session for us when we laughed at some of the things people try to get away with.
But in the light of having fun and meeting new people we decided that it was best to be our best selves as well. Most of them were really hurt from their previous relationships so they wanted to pamper themselves with attention from the good-looking men. On my end the plenty of fish personals was a way for me to find new characters for my stories. I talked to them as myself and did not embellish my personal ad. I decided that if someone would be interested with me I would not encourage it with too much flamboyance since my personality was already like that.
I am willing to consider that someone would find my uninteresting profile and see a chance at love. Love doesn’t have to have too many frills just a connection.
