WINK, WINK
August 26, 2010The way this online dating service works is, you find someone you’re interested in, and you send them a wink. If they’re interested too, they wink back. Once the winks are winked, emails are sent. Up until today, every wink I sent (but one) was rejected. Ouch! The one who winked back never answered my email. Double ouch!
I changed my profile, thinking that if I kept it funny and lighthearted, that might help me get more winks. It didn’t. I went winkless for days. Sigh. Today I got a flurry of winks. One from a man several states away. No thanks. Two from widowers with young children still at home. Again, no thanks.
I’m 56 freakin’ years old, people. I’m done raising children. Duh!
They were very nice emails though, so I told them both they were lovely men, and that I was certain they would find the women of their dreams if they kept looking.
WHERE THE HELL IS MY DREAM MAN?? IN my dreams, most likely.
I’ll keep at it. Please, share your own experiences with online dating if you feel so inclined. I could use the support.
