Online Dating that’s what I’m Hating
Never thought I’d be doing this
Searching for my friend
Don’t even know where to begin
This is all new to me
Who knows the rules?

The games that are played online
They talk and then they stop
They only want to window shop
Thinking they know who you are
By printed words
From distances so far
It’s cold and judgmental in here

Watch and wait for contact
To bold then…
You’re a stalker
To shy then…
You don’t care
Do you have a web cam?
Who do you think I am!
What ever happened to just friends?

Tired of being lonely
Someone has to start
Looking for my one and only
Words to fill my heart with joy
A glance and I shiver with excitement
A touch to feel safe and content
Want to hear the music in my soul?
Touch me deep from within your heart

Longing for the way it was
Not understanding this new cyber sea
How can we know
Without eyes connecting
Seeing the response to our voices
Only one way to see inside
So why does everyone want to hide

To be anyone you want
And afraid to be themselves
Only to be disappointed
Bearing your soul to a stranger
In hopes they will care
Only to find no one is there
Online Dating that’s what I’m Hating

On a positive note
Look at what I wrote
Just words running
Through my head
My fears, dreams, and confusion

Thanks..I know I am not the only one who has had these thoughts

It would indeed be seldom for someone to be alone with these thoughts.
