Yes, it's from 2007.
The way I roll on internet dating sites is I keep my profile hidden. That keeps my face from being associated with the other douche bags online. If you've never been on a dating site, you should really take note. Girls get TONS of mail from douche bags. Girls don't usually write back to douche bags. A large percentage of douche bags get frustrated and start sending butt hurt emails.
So basically, girls log into dating sites. They find themselves in a sea of douche bags, they read douchey, butt hurt messages which call them "stuck up," and "vapid." Then they click on your profile and go "This guy must also be a douche bag."
Fair enough.
I keep my shit hidden so that doesn't happen to me.
When I see a girl I like, I send a simple " ;) " and that's all.
Sure you can read a girl's profile. Sure, you can write some bullshit to make a girl think you're awesome. But, why waste the effort if they're not gonna write back?
I just send a simple winky-face, and 1 in 8 girls write back.
Here's a girl who responded to my winky-face.
Her name is Siobhan (pronounced: Sheh-Von)
Certainly no divergence between the two pictures. (PFFFFT)
I talk her into going out with me.
She was super hesitant to give me her phone number, but I finally got a text at work:
Girl:
Hey 6 at trudys tonight?
Me:
Yup. :)
Do you get picture text?
Girl:
Yes
Me:
Hi Siobhan!
Grainy but current. :)
Girl:
You dnt look like person in profile
Me:
Never heard that before.
Girl:
Maybe cause its a profile and not head on shot. But from that picture im not interested. Which sounds mean but its true and i dnt wanna have you drive down here for nothing.
Me:
no that's not mean. I was just shooting you the pic so you could see what I was wearing so you'd know me when I walked in. You want a better pic we'll take a couple where I'm smiling. don't fret over a rushed snap shot from the men's room. trust me.
Girl:
Sorry. I wont be showing up tonight
Me:
Jesus.
Me (half hour later):
Don't feel bad. it's perfectly in bounds to be skittish in the context of first dates. :) it's alright if you need to cancel.
Girl:
I need to cancel.
Me:
Yeah, we covered that, lol.
Girl:
Oh okay just making sure aren't making the trip for nothing.
Me:
I meant don't feel bad for cancelling.
Girl:
Alright.
Me (1 hour later):
Girl:
Um...
Me:
Haha
Based on my experience, that writing on the wall is nothing short of true. ;)
Me:
I'm not gonna push the meeting up thing, I'm already home. But ou should poor yourself a glass of wine and we'll chat on the phone. :)
Girl:
Oh really? Okay
Me:
Do you want me to call you now, or wait until 6 as planned?
Girl:
What? Why would you call?
Me:
You just said okay, to the phone proposal. check your texts. ;)
Girl:
I didn't see that msg
Me:
Yeah well how are you feelin' it?
Girl:
I'm not much of a talker... esp on the phone.
Girl:
[silent treatment]
MFWTF?
