Finding love the virtual way
Here’s the thing… I have been a secret member of one of those online groups that help you find the perfect soul mate. I guess my secret is out... phew, I feel so much better. The particular one I am involved with has two levels. The free level allows me to get a weekly list of profiles and photos sent to me by the gods (I think it's from the gods). If one makes my heart skip a beat and causes angels to sing the hallelujah chorus, I can send them a canned ‘icebreaker’. In turn, there is a profile of me floating around the pool of sorry loveless souls…complete with a cheeky picture and a sad attempt to sell myself.
There is a second level to this virtual soul mate finder…for the price of a few trips to Caribou; one can have the privilege of sending a super-extended-pour-your-heart-out-into-cyberspace email. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but there have been on occasion a chap or two that claims to have seen my gorgeous mug and decided right then and there to dig into his piggybank and look under couch cushions to come up with just enough money to sign up and send me an email. I don’t answer them because I have not coughed up the extra dough to have this privilege. However, lately I have been feeling the dateless dark cloud over my head and I may just have to answer them. I may just have to give up my Café Americano fix once in awhile to take a whack at true love. I am not getting any younger for crying out loud!
If there is anyone out there with cupid wings and a love degree… will you help me decide?
Note… photos and names have been altered to help protect the lovelorn.

Dear Stuff, I'm a shy easy going eccentric recluse whose in to Anime & Movies. I saw your profile and gorgueous face and we sound like a match made in hevean. Give me a chance once and you will find a great guy and a nice man even tho I am a bit shy at frist but warm uup quicky if you give me a chance to. you say that u are shy to.
A statement taken word for mispelled word from his profile: I have been tested, it has been shown that I have a high IQ, but I have poor communication skills, do to my shyness.

Hi Stuff, Read your profile, and I thought you sounded like a cool person. I think we might have a lot in common,... quirky humor, a bit of cynicism, and a gift for pop culture,... actually, I'm just looking for someone who can hold their own in pop culture trivia. ;) Well, take a look at my profile and let me know if you're interested.

You caught my eye. I signed up for this service to meet you. If you think we have what it takes together to make it, I would enjoy hearing from you. In my opinion, we do have the makings of a beautiful friendship.

Stuff thinks that perhaps Harv’s daughters may like AveJoe.

i personally like nightshade. the red beard looks like a keeper.... :)
Come on stuffy you need to loosen up and see the bright side, at least you are getting hits. I seriously think you should keep on trying, who knows there may be a prince charming out there who is so shy he needs the right"STUFF" to tell someone about himself. I believe there is someone out there for everyone you just need to have faith in whatever gets it out there. So keep up the good work.
