Apathy Sketchpad

I was hanging around the Union message board earlier, when I spotted a message advertising http://www.leedsromance.org.uk. I did not sign on. Partly it’s because of an in-built cynicism about online dating services, even ones aimed at Leeds students. But mostly it was because I would have been the first person on the service. This was not an image I wanted to put across. It’s a bit like saying, “Hi, I’m the single most desperate student in Leeds. Please go out with me”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s a good service, but I don’t want to be first.
