How to not worry about what other people think

Today is my only day off this week... and by day off I mean I have about 5 hours to kill in between appointments and meetings, so I am spending it in a coffee shop on my laptop procrastinating.

I could be getting a lot of work done.

What am I doing? Checking my email, and surfing match.com. It's a little sad. None the less.

I've realized that I am a little apprehensive about the people around me judging what websites I'm searching. I don't know why. What do I care if the NYU student next to me is watching me search an online dating sight?

While my closest friends think that this whole match.com thing, and search for the perfect man is a cute and worthwhile adventure (and really cute boys have cute friends for my friends as my roommate states... she's in this because it will benefit her in the long run) I'm nervous about the way other people will react. I come at it like I think it's silly, that it's just a game I'm playing... and it is, but really... I'm hopeful. It's one more way that I am putting positive energy out to the universe.

My boss has told me that I am being ridiculous, that 25 is too young for internet dating, my BF is worried that I'm going to stop trying to meet people in real life and I'm freaking out that the GV hipsters think I'm a loser.

All that may be true but I do have a date for lunch tomorrow.
