Eureka! A message.
That’s what my dating site inbox says. There’s a “1” plain
as day.
Please let this one be
a possibility. Please don’t allow myself to dismiss him for some shallow reason
like ear hair you can braid or the fact he lists “Napping” as one of his few
interests. (Both of these real guys have sent me messages in the past.)
Stop delaying. Just
click on the inbox.
Hru
That’s it.
Hru
No punctuation. No words. No effort. Pretty sure the capital
letter was only on account of an auto-correct.
I know, I know…“How are you?” But seriously, is that so hard
to type? And, if it is, maybe the first message should be:
Asdf (Aha!
Auto-capitalization, just as I suspected.)
Even better, to show you’re a conscientious dude with true
ambition and a commitment to finishing what you start:
Asdf jkl;
That would be much more impressive than hru. Was I really
supposed to respond? If I type, “imok”, it feels like I’m going overboard and
trying too hard with a response almost twice as long as the original.
And here I’ve gone and given it ten times the thought it
deserves.
Delete.
