Go on a date!

Hi, Joycouldbeours:

 

The "addiction" to on-line dating you mention in your profile is probably just an obsession to nothing that actually works! How many times have I come home from work, and checked my email to see if anyone's emailed me from Match? And usually there's nothing, nothing at all. And how many times have I read a woman's profile, drunk it in, like a fine glass of Tokay wine, become just ever so slightly inspired and delirious from it, written her a note that varies in degree of fun and seriousness, only to find myself no better off than my having tossed corked bottles with absolutely NOTHING in them at all into the Pacific? I couldn't count. So, the addiction, like now with you, is, if it is one, is an addiction to hope--that someone is bright enough, and funny enough, and open enough, and basically just real enough to write me back, go out with me (after the obligatory email exchanges wherein we both try to discover that the other person is safe), and take it from there.

Here goes another bottle!

yrs.,
