Ahoy ahoy ahoy!
It’s hard to believe that I haven’t gone on a date since July, but that’s the honest truth. It’s been pretty dull on the dating front but fulfilling in other ways (i.e. going on vacation). But with a new school year comes a new gameplan.
I was reading the Globe and Mail this morning like any good journalism student does and I came across a new dating website. It’s called alikewise.com and it matches you with people based on your taste in literature. Isn’t that awesome?!
Now some might say it’s elitist but I contend that it is not. Since when is reading elitist? We live in a society where the vast majority of people can read. That evens the playing field. Whether you choose to or not is your call, but for those who do, your taste in reading material can say a lot about who you are.
For example, I own just about everything Hemingway’s ever written. I like Kerouac but can’t stand Bukowski. Don’t even try and talk me into Dostoevsky. Take from that what you will.
I like books. I like people that like books. I like boys who can talk with me about books. I even like boys who know more about books than I do.
So there you go. I am cast my line into a new pond. Let’s hope that I catch something.
