After the intial group was fine, but it wasn't for me and eventually dropped the conversations.
One of my favorites was a woman whose responses were three or four words typed from her blackberry.
After I'd asked her what she was up to for the weekend, her response:
"Probably spend it with kiddos."
Okay.
Being the kind of guy who wants to engage in a conversation, I responded; "Oh? Cool? What are the ages? I'm thinking about heading to a movie and...blah..blah..blah"
Response was simply their ages and it sounded like fun. (!)
I went on and discussed general stuff and the response was always two or three words.
After about a day, I was wondering if she was trying to blow me off, "Are you a woman of few words, or is it just a pain to type on a blackberry?"
"Not short of words just while driving."
"You know, you could always just type when you have time and then hit send."
She laughed, but the pattern continued.
I finally got sick of it after a few more hours and blew her off.
Just because there is an email in your crackberry doesn't mean you have to send a short letter instantly! I mean, really, when dealing with someone you're pursuing a relationship with, we can handle a little delay between emails if there is a bit of substance to it.
Another of the candidates I have been emailing seemed to get along quite well. We seemed to have the same general interests and I was fairly optimistic.
During a lull in my day, I started reading an email from her and while the initial tone gave me caution, she had stumbled across something incriminating. While I suspected she MIGHT have come across the blog, I wasn't going to confirm or deny anything until I knew WHAT she found. She strongly hinted that perhaps it was better to just call the whole thing off.
I feigned innocence and asked what she found? I was fairly certain she didn't find the blog, but probably got me confused with some OTHER idiot.
The next letter contained two links two both of my blogs. While I was in a store at the time, it was all I could do to giving a visible reaction. In my mind, I ran around screaming like a little girl and wondering what to do.
Outside, I was the calm cool demeanor that I try to exude....but for a bit there, I thought I wet myself a little bit.
She went on to explain that her ex husband and her both into "The Lifestyle" and didn't think she could go down that road. After I explained that I was sincere that I am open to changing my ways, she was more than a bit skeptical.
Not that I blame her in the least, but I believe we can.
She continued reading portions of both of my blogs and seems to be coming around. I have no idea why, but she seems to. So this should be interesting.
