Long explanation, stay tuned to the end for the point.
I was on OK Cupid in the past, that place was a nightmare. Lately, I've made a profile on Geek2Geek and I am working on a profile on Match.com. I am just not very good at writing my profile. See, I'm 30 years old, I did not finish college, and after my previous girlfriend and I broke up, I moved back in with my mom, and I'm still there because my job doesn't pay enough to get a place unless I move in with someone.
So, how do I dress up "30 year old eccentric geek with too many interests to focus on just one seeks single female to go out on dates, maybe hang out at my mom's house."? Seriously, I think it's the "mom's house" part. I guess I don't have to put anything about it in there, but it's eventually going to come up. Yeah, I make $10 an hour in a call center and can't afford to live anywhere but with my mom. I mean, it's a really embarassing thought to think that someday maybe I'll bring a girl home, it'll be late or something, my parents will be asleep, we'll have to sneak into my room and be quiet so we don't wake them up. It's like... yeah, at age 18 that was fine and normal, but damn it, I am 30.
It's a little depressing. To be honest, I am so stressed out about the whole dating site prospect. I always wanted to hook up with a girl in one of the social circles I was in, be it through WoW, or IRC, or gaming groups, anime clubs, hell even AMV, but I never had the GUTS to tell any girl I ever liked that I DID like them. I'm a shy guy, and so the pretense of a dating site being for the explicit purpose of hooking up with someone is really attractive - but everything else about it just scares or annoys me.
So I just wanted to know if anyone on here had any advice for me.
