Just got home from meeting with a guy that I met on match.com. We enjoyed several hours of conversation, and not once did he annoy me, shock me or ask me about the number of sexual predators living in my town.
We both indicated that we'd like to meet again.....this shall be the test.

Online Dating Tips - #6
If you winked last month and I didn't respond...chances are I'm not going to respond when you wink this month. I'm the same person I was a month ago and I'm assuming you are too.

Online Dating Tips
1. When telling me about yourself via email and say that you are intelligent and have an intellectual sense of humor, you may want to spell intelligent and intellectual correctly.
2. Abercrombie & Fitch is a store, not an interest.
3. If my profile says I went to UNL, and I mentioned in an email that I went to UNL, don't ask me if I went to Creighton.
4. The town listed in your profile should match where you actually live.
5. Check out Log In For Love on TLC (Friday, 9 pm) - it is nice to know online dating is providing humorous stories for thousands of other people.

Chapter 3 - Are You Kidding Me?
I recently received the below message from a match.com member. On top of this outlandish email, his profile says he is 44 and looking to meet someone his age or five years younger. Apparently not only is he shallow, he is really bad at math since I'm clearly more than five years younger than him.
His message:
Nicely written profile. And you are cute........to boot. Being single in Nebraska isn't hard. Its all what you make of it and someone as good looking as you should be having fun with it. Allow me to assist you in that venture sometime in the near future...........mmmmmmm, such as joining me for a drink at Mistys or Pears or the Sidetrack. I promise to keep you entertained all night.
Do you risk it? Go for it.

Chapter 2 - Matt
Well, I'm two for two on match.com. I was winked at by a guy in Omaha, Matt I'll call him.
I took the leap and sent him an email in response to his wink. Not only did he respond, but his email was well written and a good read. We emailed back and forth a few times, each email exceeding the previous in length and entertainment. We finally exchanged phone numbers and after a couple of messages we engaged in a phone conversation lasting over an hour. I was excited that I had met someone with whom I felt on a similar conversational level, and a person who I could speak to for this amount of time without being annoyed....even once.
The phone conversation ended with him asking if we could meet for a drink. I agreed. He said that he would call me in a few days to set something up.
That's the last I heard from him.
Makes complete sense to me.
