Ok, so I am going to blame my friend, Squirrel Dater, for this one. Because another friend of ours, Officer Manic, has had some success with a certain online dating service, Squirrel Dater persuaded me to join.
Ok, so it's day one. I have to substitute something for the Whole Body Exercise Machine while it is in the shop.
So Day One is not yet done and I have accumulated 23 email messages.
While I am very appreciative, it has highlighted something for me....people cannot spell these days. Not even a little.
I know this is a bit mean, but I received the following email:
"Hay ther pretty ladie. I think we have a lot of things in comon. If you think so to pleese mesege me back."
Wow.
I am not, by any means, a rocket scientist. But I am finding that I am a tiny bit of an intellectual snob. I don't think that I could date someone who can't spell. Does that make me a bad person? Will I miss out on my soul mate because he doesn't know the difference between "their" and "they're"?
So far I have two fairly decent prospects. At this point, given my very recent break up with the Tricky Man, I am not looking for anything beyond someone with whom to flirt.
