Since I decided I need to chill with the dating a month ago, I’ve still poked around okcupid. That’s made a couple things clear. While there’s still a feeling inside me desiring to meet someone special and live happily ever after and all that, I actually use okcupid as a venue to seek out conversation more than anything else.<\/p>\n
