Another Award-Winning, Dating Service E-mail

Thinking about my previous post a little more, I don't know that it's really the expense that keeps me from joining online dating services, such as eHarmony and Match.com. I think it's a stubborn, old-fashioned romanticism that persists deep inside my otherwise practical persona.

It's also the fact that I can't take any more of the weird e-mails these services send out. Consider this one:

Summer Romance Can Last a Lifetime

[grackyfrogg], You can’t forget the feel of his
lips – like velvet heat. The husky ring of
his laughter. A trace of his cologne
lingers in the air. You wonder how you
could have ever lived without him.

And to think it all began with an email on
Match.com.

Ugh.
