This week for Role/Reboot, I did a little internal investigation on how I behave on online dating sites. We already know how I feel about gendered traditions once we’re actually on the date (i.e. Who pays?), but what about the sending of and responding to messages? Why do I sit back and wait? Is the answer really because it’s just so freaking easy? That seems like laziness to me, and no one should rest on their laurels when it comes to equalizing the playing field, least of all ladies who write about gender and equality on the internet…

I recently made an OkCupid, met someone immediately and it’s been absolutely wonderful, I do not believe this is normal however, and honestly, I think we’re both a little embarrassed that we met online. It’s also the first time I’ve started a relationship without the initial flame of emotional craziness, I sat back and waited for that to kick in, which thankfully it did.
