Quick update

Ok, ladies and germs... I don't have time for a detailed update, but wanted to keep you in the loop. It's been a couple of days since I've chatted with Ben (fairly normal given the connection quality where he's at). And since we're not in a committed relationship just yet, I've decided to have fun and maybe even date like a guy! I've never been one that dates a lot, especially since I prefer the monogamous committed relationship, so this is all fairly new to me.

For those that didn't know, I was going to fill you in on how Ben and I met in the first place... He found me on LDS Planet - a dating website that I hadn't heard of before, but my friend just got married to a guy that she met on "the Planet" and she convinced me to post my profile. I'd like to clarify - before I get bombarded with comments about naievete and stupidity - that I am HIGHLY SKEPTICAL of online dating. That being said, I'm coming around to it a little. To be fair, the odds are not high that my Mr. Right lives in Utah County right now. And if he is, I hope he's willing to relocate...

So, the Planet has proven to be a fun distraction. (Making me a little behind on my homework... oops!) And given the surprising number of positive responses, it has definitely boosted my confidence! The worst part is having to sift through the losers and perverts (and really old guys) that respond. I was hoping for a little better on an LDS website, but such hopes were fruitless. There have been a couple, like Ben, that have kept things above board. The others are being "let go." My loss, I'm sure.

To sum up: Things are good. Boys are dumb. Men are hard to find. And a good man is a rare treat.
