Misadventures in Match, Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Good morning! And welcome to this edition of My Misadventures in Match.

It has been 48 hours since the last update, and I'm sure you have all been waiting on the edge of your seats with baited breath.

Well, I haven't gotten married, so there's not much to report.

I did, finally, a week after the triple dog dares, message two {2!} guys last night all on my own. Apparently, I work well to my own deadlines. And I would like to admonish all of you for the lack of a confetti cannon shower following such a huge feat.

Speaking of all of you, there is an internal contest going with the best sarcastic comment to this semi-daily posting about this adventure of mine. Right now, for those of you keeping score at home, the brother is up two best remarks to pal Lisa's one. Terri has one great comment, but it was unrelated to this particular band of text messages.

Other than that, today marks the official two week anniversary of my entering the online dating foray, and last night would be the night I finally saw a person on the site that was also from the LC. My reaction? I slammed the computer lid down and screamed GAH so loudly that both my kids are, "what are you doing?!"

I don't know if I thought he could actually see me once I saw his profile, but I did have a rather visceral reaction and then started laughing hysterically. For those of you who live in the area, you can start guessing as to who it was. Because we all know him.

Finally, Vro and I have decided that our side business is going to be helping men write their profiles with engaging remarks that are spelled AND punctuated correctly, along with teaching them how to take good pictures of themselves and hot to post those as well. Because seriously, most of these guys do not have good pictures of themselves. So bad that you're wondering why did they even post that? They should've gone with nothing at all in most cases. I'll figure out some what to post an approximation of what I'm seeing so you can appreciate what I'm talking about.
