What is even happening?
Obviously, both things can and do happen. I figure, if nothing else, dating services get you in the right frame of mind, and introduce you to more people than you'd naturally come across.
I thought you made a good point earlier, about it helping you learn to interact with strangers. (That was you Jesse, right?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is that Prayer Garden for real? I now feel the need to get either a trucker hat that says "PRAY FOR JESSE," or this [link] t-shirt.
Now why would I want to do something like that? I mean, I want to smite enough humans as it is...
Did I say YOU should do that? NO I DID NOT.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks for the advice-- I do read "dress-a-day", which is what made me think of it! I can get digital pictures and scans pretty easily. Also, the listings I looked at all seemed to be from people who didn't really know much about sewing or vintage clothes. Which seems weird to me.

They do not have my real name! It is like 5th grade and rainbow pins all over again!

Yes, yes it was. It's happened to me over and over again, because I've done some kind of online dating/personal ad/whatever thing every few years. The first couple of dates SUCK, but then they're fine.

OH! poor Sophia. I am sorry. I did not mean to cause name trauma.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The Prayer Garden store freaks me out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do like the online dating because you are meeting total strangers-- no awkwardness around knowing the same people or seeing each other around
Ha! The second meetup I had was with a krav student. Sure, you can avoid people you might see around, but for the paranoia (rightly) became finding people you see around.
As for one way being better than the other -- does it matter? The better way is the one that works. Penny B found her husband during her match.com trial period. I can hardly call that better (or worse) than anyone's meatspace hookup success.
Click on my name? I'll believe it when I see it.
