Welcome all robots!

Welcome on my journey to find love.

My name is Will. I'm a 31-year-old Latino looking for love in this weird cyber-dating hellscape. I've started this blog at the behest of several co-workers who enjoy laughing at my many dating misadventures, hijinks, and failures. I hope it can be a tool to learn and grow from these experiences. At the very least, it's a cathartic experience.

This is not a blog to bash women or make fun of the people I go on dates with. I will not use the names of any people I meet to respect their privacy and will aim to share my experience and perspective. According to my co-workers, it's rare for men to share this sort of perspective in this format.

You should know I'm just seeking love and a healthy relationship. Someone to spend my life with and, if lucky, start a family. I'm pretty open-minded to most things but favor your typical hum-drum monogamous relationships. I'm not typically interested in short-term and 1 off interactions, just like Mr. Sam Smith.

What are lonely love robots?

Where did I get the name for this blog? Well, simply from the robots that run rampant on dating apps. I'm curious if women come across these robots; however, in my experience, it's a fairly common experience for guys. Typically it's a fake account run by a bot trying to get you to send money or subscribe to some content. That or they want some sort of personnel information like a cell phone number or address or something. After enough interactions, you learn from these and pick up whether it's a person or a robot.

However, this eventually leads to another issue. The anxiety that comes from whether the person you match with thinks you're a robot. Are my comments robotic? If I ask for their number, will they think I'm a robot with ill intent? Does my poor use of punctuation make me seem robotic? Should I use more or fewer adjectives to appear more human? What's the correct number of adjectives? Should they be simple or complex? What if I misuse one? I honestly don't know.

Another thing is I'm a huge sci-fi nerd. I'm very cognisant that robots(bots) will become sentient someday. What if they remember my interactions? Will they feel scorned by not connecting via WhatsApp or Telegram? Will they seek revenge because I wouldn't subscribe to their Snapchat or OnlyFan? What if they fall for me and want to start a relationship? Would I be comfortable being in a relationship like the movie HER? I don't know. I may never know. But I do know I feel like I interact with more lonely love robots than actual women, and if the internet has taught me anything, it's that if I feel something, then it must also be correct.

Anyway, welcome to my blog, fellow love robots. Shouts to my homey F who was the main proponent of my starting this blog.
