Sometimes I think maybe it's not so bad to be single. Below is a recent conversation with a guy via dating site IM, my comments are in brackets (Background info: he contacted me first after looking at my profile, where I should state I have plenty of pictures in addition to a description of myself)
Him: hi
Him: we were both online
Me: Works for me.
Me: [long pause...ok, I'll try to start the conversation] So when is your triathlon?
Him: on september if I am ready
Me: Nice. What distance are you doing?
Him: for now I run 8 miles and bike 30
Me: That's great. I'm sure you'll be ready by Sept.
Him: you look very hot btw
Me: [ok, non-sequitur, but whatever] Thanks, but flattery will only get you so far. ;)
Him: what you mean?
Me: I enjoy a good conversation. :) [I'll try to ignore the fact that your IMing skills would imply that this is a stretch for you.]
Me: [Another long pause, time to make an exit and be polite] Oh, I just realized the time. I should probably go. But let me know if you want to grab a drink sometime....
Him: do you have big boobs? [Ummm, seriously!?? Did he really just type that?]
Me: Wow. You'll never know...
[Close window. Pour wine. Appreciate my solitude.]
