Co-op and Online Dating

I recently Applied for a postion at the feed plant with the Co-op. I had an interview and tour of the plant yesterday and I am not quite sure if I am going to take the position or not, if I am offered it at least. When I was talking to people about the position, I kept hearing about how dirty the place is and that the work is sometimes pretty boring. During the tour, I definately noticed the dirty part of it, but it makes sense since they are dealing with all kinds of different feeds. You have to wear a hard hat and coveralls, this is essential because of the dirt and there are a lot of pipes/tubes and are pretty low. The postion is only temporary for six months and if I decide I do not like the place within the first three months I am allowed to go back to my old position. I feel like I could at least last six months there, it would let me see what othr kind of jobs are out there within the company. Lots of guys were also saying that the shifts they work over there are crap. I was oringally told that there was three shifts you have to work, 7-3, 3-11 and 11-7. When I was in the iterview they told me that the 11-7 shift was removed, which is good because I really did not want to work a graveyard shift. Now the do two weeks of 7-3 and then two weeks of 3-11, Monday to Friday. The other good thing about the position is that it actually pays a little more than my current position. I figure I could make a few extra bucks temporarily, plus I think with our contract my wage would be frozen at that higher rate untill my wage with my old position reaches that level.

Like I have said before, I have not had any experience in the relationship part of life. In the last few months I have signed up for online dating, just to see what would happen. I am not willing to pay for that type of thing, but the best I have gotten was one girl which I chatted with for a few months. I feel like women want a man who has some experience with the ladies, but I need to get some experience first. When it comes to online dating, I think my problem is that when I message a girl I tend to stick with the basic "Hey how is it going" message. I think the women want more in he messages that they recieve, but I am not quite certain what to write. I feel like if I say something wrong, I would just make things worse. I don't know why I think this way because I don't even know the girls. I am just the type of guy that does not want to hurt anyone so I tend to play things cautiously. I know I need to be more assertive in my life, but it is hard to change that by yourself.
