The thing is -- I'm incredibly straightforward.
Not only that, but I stubbornly try to stay calm and polite, even when the guy on the other end of the correspondence doesn't.
I am a bit baffled tonight.
The guy who said last week he wants to meet me isn't returning my emails.
A man who has my email address isn't using it -- which makes me wonder...
A 78-year-old gentleman in New Jersey begs me to talk to him. I wonder what he would think of me dating a young man in his thirties.
Then, of course, there are the married guys and all the other online bounders.
I never seem to be QUITE cynical enough for the online dating universe.
Instead, I take a break from one site, and leave my profile up on another.
While it may not be a change of characters, it is a pragmatic move.
And what is online dating about among the middle-aged, in the end, but pragmatism?
Doomed, moody pragmatism...not even the delusional feel good kind.
Why do I continue?
I suppose that I'm as entitled to my delusions as you to yours.
Ain't American romance wonderful?
