I was just now thinking...would it be weird for me to decide not to date a guy unless he blogs? Because quite frankly, none of the guys I know 'round these heah parts has a blog. I doubt some of 'em even know what a blog is. And some of them are not-so-literate ("hi sweaty, what u doing tommorrow nite cuz we shud go do somthing")...
Oh, I'm sure that here in Okieland there are some men who blog, I'm just saying that I don't personally know any of 'em. And I know a lot of guys. (you can take that last statement however you want)
On the flip side...how much do I really want to learn about the man in advance? I tend to lean toward delayed gratification in these cases, and uncover the 'man inside' a little at a time, as we go on. So do I really want to know all his innermost thoughts beforehand?
Hmmm.
Of course, it could save a lot of time...
Hmmm.
Of course, I could read something about myself that I may or may not like...
Hmmm.
Oh hell, as long as he can read, I guess that's okay.
See Dick run.

Interested?

hehe, did he actually call you "sweaty"?
Frankie, yes, yes he did. Now that I think about it, maybe it WASN'T a misspelling after all; maybe he was trying to tell me 'somthing'.
Now I've got the giggles. ;)
Melinama, I love the work! Now I feel too inadequate to try it myself. ;)
I blog, I'm a man, and I live in Midwest City. It's good to see another Okie Blogger. Keep up the good work.
Or you can always look at it this way. Blogging can be what brought you two together. You can say you introduced him to blogging over a the glow of a computer screen and the soft click of the keys.
Just an idea.
Looking for Oklahoma bloggers? Try this site: http://www.blogoklahoma.com/
I think you've got a great idea there. It would be a good idea to keep in mind that what you read online might not be what you get in person but if he has a blog at least he will understand the appeal of blogging. If it works out and turns into a long term relationship he's less likely to think what you do in your spare time is "weird."
Hey, I don't blog but I'm Texan. Don't you want me anymore?
Love,
