I got an email yesterday that read:

The closer I get to you the louder you are

That's it! His profile was really weird too. He thinks he was a philosopher in his previous life.

Thank you Amy!

wild~hair · 02-05-2010, 07:33 PM

I have no words.

This is like a joke right?

But I checked and, no it isn't.

afrosheenqueen · 02-05-2010, 09:57 PM

OMG!

CanItBeChristine · 02-06-2010, 08:37 AM

wild~hair...HILARIOUS!!!!!

CanItBeChristine · 02-06-2010, 08:39 AM

All right...so I'm completely snowed in over here and probably won't go anywhere until Tuesday.

I think I need to just hold my breath and pay and join match for six months.

Chants of encouragement, please................................

rouquinne · 02-06-2010, 09:08 AM

i think you'll find the same people on Match as you do on OkCupid and PoF....

After taking some time after a bad break up, I think I am ready to start dating again. I have decided to try online dating since I don't usually have luck with meeting men on the street on through friends. I am a little nervous, but excited at the same time. Any words of wisdom or things I should pay close attention to as I ease into this?

By the way, I plan to join match.com.

Thanks,

CanItBeChristine · 02-06-2010, 06:25 PM

Could this dude at least TRIED to write a personal message????????

First, let me start off by saying Good Morning! Hope you had a great holiday weekend. I can't remember running across anyone who is as much of a complete package as what you are. Ultimately, what I'm looking for is amazing and Quality! I think you fit that very much. You appear to be very independent, intelligent, sexy, and fun. You seem to have a great heart, a wonderful smile, a fun personality and a very dynamic draw. The value and importance I read about what you are seeking is very good. You have that rare complete package that really attracts my attention. I believe I would be a solid fit...I'd like to see.

I love to have fun and I just want to throw out a billion reasons that I think I'm the right guy. But I'd like for you to get to know me and see that yourself. I'm an "actions" kinda guy. I'm the real deal and I feel it important to bring "legit" back. No game, no BS....just genuine. I'm a gentleman and I have the time, interest, energy and heart to go after "amazing" 110%. We can laugh, hang out, travel and all that cool stuff. You come across as a woman who deserves waaaaaaaaaaay more than just "Right Now". And I think I have that. I'm just really interested to see if I match that with you.

I'm drama-free, I have a great job and a solid family and good friends. I love to laugh, have fun, cook-out, and be active.

Let's talk and see if there's something worth building on. I'm very positive that my instincts are right with you.

I genuinely hope to hear from you!
Hope you had a GREAT weekend!!,
Chris

Christine,
What happened with the guy you bumped into on Match.com? I think you knew him from school?

I didn't hear back

Trying to forget about it and not overanalyze/obsess.

CanItBeChristine · 02-06-2010, 06:36 PM

This guy seems very nice!!!

I will keep this short and honest. I read your profile and I think it's awesome that you're a writer! I am too! I also see that you work in the theatre industry. I just finished interning at a Broadway Theatre company. It was one of the best experiences I had. Like I said, I'm a writer, and write stageplays and screenplays. I write a lot of other stuff too, but I love writing action and dialogue the most. I also see that you want to read all the Pulitzer Prize winning novels. That's awesome! I've never thought about doing something like that, but I bet reading them would help me understand why they won and what makes them all so good. Good way of preparing to write that Pulitzer Prize novel myself. Anyway, I said I'd keep this short and honest. It's honest, but not as short as I thought it would be. I guess that is the writer in me taking over. So, to wrap this up let me say that I think you seem interesting and I'd like to know more about you. Message me back if you'd like.

CanItBeChristine · 02-06-2010, 07:07 PM

And then a supercute Paul Rudd lookalike who is getting his PHD in neuroscience!

This can be fun!

The above is pathetically stock/stale/standard issue and reeks of desperation.

I agree that the writer guy sounds nice and sincere - maybe give him a try and report back

This has been my theme song for whenever I feel down about my romantic situation!

"I might have to wait/I'll never give-up/Guess half of it's timing and the other half's luck/wherever you are, whenever it's right, you'll come out of nowhere and into my life..."

And then we'll all rejoice and dance around a supermarket with a marching band!
