Place and Time

My mom made me try the online dating website Match.com because they were having a special promotion at the time. I painstakingly created my profile--picking the right pictures, the best wording, the right answers to their questionnaires. And with each bad date I went on, my standards just got higher and higher (which wasn't really helpful either).

One day a guy who was my same age and lived in my same town "winked" at me. A wink is, shall we say, eFlirting. So I saw his picture...hmmm...he wasn't smiling in any of them. Then I read his profile...woa...loaded with spelling mistakes (and I used to be an English teacher). But, just out of curiosity, I asked him where in our town he lived.

It turned out we live 4 blocks away from each other. This seemed to change everything. And, I found that I couldn't stop responding to his warm, friendly emails. He sucked me right in!
 
So, I decided to give me him my phone number...
