Online Game


Kudos to people who find their match through online dating; I see nothing wrong with this way of meeting people, but I seriously have no game whatsoever with this business.  I apparently either need to make some changes to my profile or my tactics, but I’m sure I won’t do either.  Here is a smattering of messages I’ve sent to different guys in the past few months; I haven’t heard back from any of them.

Falstaf1 stated in his profile, I once lived in Bulgaria, in the sunny seaside town of Varna, taming and training small brown bears to dance to the tantalizing tune of a lute, eating fire and perfecting my skills as a cut-purse. Ok, so only part of this is actually true. I was intrigued and sent him a message: I'm hooked - I need to know how much and which bits of your Bulgaria tale are true. Either way, I'm slightly jealous of all your international experiences; they put mine to shame.

To Pronsato who had a highly entertaining profile I messaged I would like to award you 5 gold stars (unofficially, though, because 1. I don't have any at the moment and 2. I have no star-giving authority) for your entertaining profile. Well done.

OK Cupid suggested that Helloguest and I would be a good match, so after looking at his profile I sent him this message:
1. The Quiver people have chosen and think we're a match.
2. All I can hear is Yoda's voice now.
3. Let me know if you need help visiting the 100 places to eat in SF. Especially if pancakes are involved because I have a major hankering for some good pancakes right now.

Bapssty is another match for me according to OK Cupid, so I made the first move. Surprise! I meet some of your criteria: I walk all of the time, AND I enjoy fun. Amazing. If that doesn't sell you on me, Cupid here thinks we'd be okay as a match or friends. What do you think?

To Kellyisaboysname who said he wishes he went bowling more I simply wrote to him, I vote that we go bowling. I'm pretty horrendous at it, which means you will win and probably be entertained by the techniques I use.

Waiting4godot is fairly new to the city and wants to explore it, learn a language, the guitar, or to dance.  I tried to open the door with I don't think we're mortal enemies because we seem to have quite a bit in common; on the other hand, maybe we have too much in common and will be competitive and then become rivals. I can't teach you how to play the guitar or another language, but I make a great dance partner. I'm always up for exploring the city and discovering new places. Let me know if you want company on your next SF adventure.

  1. This "I can't teach you how to play the guitar or another language, but I make a great dance partner." might be the best pick-up line ever. I wonder if your brother would mind if I used it sometime. Love you! And thank you for always making me laugh! You are the best.
