Drive by dating?

Although Internet dating has become more socially acceptable, I still find issue with it, but am trying to recognize the concept as another positive way to "get yourself out there." At least this what I keep telling myself.

So in the bars, there is the pick up with intent for immediate hook up, easy thing to spot. Then, late at night, after a few too many, there is the booty call. That phone call made coupled with poor decision making, that may make you groan in a few different ways come morning. I have found, that with Internet dating, there is a combination of these two situations that seems to be more and more prevalent...

Friday evening, after a long day in jury duty (yes, jury duty), I opted to stay in, watching movies and getting so rest for the weekend ahead. I went to my new online dating profile (ugh!) where I received an instant message. I checked out the profile, a little younger than I would prefer (27), but cute! We start chatting, he tells me I'm "real pretty", asks which part of town I live in and then immediately asks to meet for "a drink or whatever tonight". I politely tell him no, that my couch and DVR are calling me, but maybe another time. He responds "whatever" and then signs off.

It was like a drive by shooting, better yet, drive by dating?!? I've heard of guys using Internet dating as an escort service, but didn't really understand how that would all play out. I guess now I do... Never a victim, always a survivor, I will live to see another day of Internet dating, if that can be considered a good thing...
