Dear Diary – I need a lesson in modern language

So, If you read last months instalment, I was having a hard time writing my online dating profile description. I look at it more as a work in progress, like my life. I have been browsing around to see what others were writing, but I have come up against a little oddity.

A lesson in modern languageOMG, LOL, ROFL, LMAO. What the heck are all these people talking about? I need an urban dictionary just to read through some peoples profile descriptions!

Okay, so I know what GSOH means, I used to see that in dating adverts in the local newspapers when I was younger – about a hundred years ago. But what is LOL and why are so many people LOL’ing around? Have I been asleep for twenty years and completely missed out on lessons in a new English language?

I had to embarassingly ask my daughter for a little lesson. LOL means ‘laugh out loud’ apparently. Is that same as writing ‘ha, ha’ at the end of a sentence? I’m kind of lost on this concept.

Anyway, after getting over this little hurdle, I must say I have been totally sucked in to the dating site! How addictive it is to browse men’s profiles! I feel like I am snooping on them in some way, it’s quite a thrill! I must admit, there are some really great looking men on DatingAgency.com!

Now I understand why some people are ‘rolling on the floor laughing’, I really think I am on to something good here. I have added five men to my favourites list, I have received a few compliments from very pleasurable to look at men, and … shock of all shocks, I HAVE MYSELF A DATE!
