IRL?! F2F?! LOL!

I once rejected a man based solely on his arm hair.

From all other angles, he seemed like a pretty sweet deal. But sitting next to him in class everyday, his arm hair swirling in odd directions got to me every time. I couldn't deal with it. Sianara Mr. Armly Locks.

I know. I know. It's all a little too reminiscent of the season 3 episode of Will & Grace where Grace rejects a man solely based on the fact that he had 6 toes on one foot.

I may be petty, but at least I'm specific. No weird arm hair. No extra toes please.

It's officially been two months since things got going between Seth the Southern Charmer and I, although it feels like it's been forever-- in a good way of course. Every night ends with a phone call. Every morning begins with an email. And it's a rare occasion to not find either one of us shooting off a random, "Hope you're having a good day" text message before dinnertime.

I frequent the Catholic dating message boards enough (another story for another time, best told when I am feeling my most Christian so as to not lambast people that just aren't that smart about relationships) to know that a huge pet peeve out there in the online Catholic dating world is people with poor follow through.

Those with no intention of IRL F2F encounters.

(Sidenote: Nothing makes me giggle more than when the over 40 crowd starts using phrases like LOL and F2F. For those unaware with the lingo-- IRL translates to "in real life" F2F to "face to face").

According to the forums, there's enough people who are out there to meet but don't want to be met. People that would prefer to be in a long distance relationship where you never actually meet the the person you're supposedly "in a relationship" with. Which got me to thinking...

Now that we're both confident that I am not some crazy woman with 50 cats, and that he is not a psychopath determined to go all Jeffrey Dahmer on me, perhaps it's time to take the ultimate leap and figure out whether or not Seth the Southern Charmer has six toes on one foot or strange arm hair.

A F2F.
