The Match

My profile was visible, my membership was paid and I decided to see what was out there. I was being selective this time. I had standards to meet, there were things I was not going to deal with. I looked at the pictures of all of my matches, all of my searches and started there. I would pick the ones I found attractive, not attractive in the conventional sense I think. There had to be something intriguing, something deeper than skin. I was not in it this time for skins or notches I wanted to find a potential mate. I wanted to find someone special, someone that had so much going on under the hood that no one knew what I had found. A diamond in the rough, a real sleeper if you will. That of course is metaphorical.

I had a few takers, by this time I was finding some interesting women here. I was just being me and talking like I would in person if everyone had their life story on their shirt for you to read before approaching them.

I would talk to several of "Our Picks" on occasion and wonder how the hell they matched us up at all. I was actually having several very good conversations with seemingly ideal candidates I remember one in particular she was remodeling her house herself with her father helping and she dug up a big section of her back yard to pour a patio, she looked like Linda Grey so I called her Wonder Woman. I decided to see who else was out there so I was clearing the "Our Picks" section yet again. An attractive red-ish head caught my eye. She had a cute smile and there was "something" about her. I looked at her pictures and really liked two of the three but the third one was not a great picture but it was very real and made me curious about what she really looked like. She picked her pictures very well, I wasn't sure if she knew it. I thought to myself based on her pictures alone she was intelligent and might know how to play the game. I had to know more. I decided to read on.

"Life is short and it should be happy as possible" Ok, that's is deep but of course I thought "Life isn't short, It is the longest thing you will do. What will you do with your time?" Of course I was curious, what happened that you feel this way. My question was soon answered twenty-nine year old widow. Got it. Unfortunate, I wonder the circumstances. Irrelevant for the time being, that isn't enough to go on. Let's find out more.

The particulars have to add up, lets see where this goes. Oh! Two kids, how responsible. Ok, two kids works for me. Oh! Curvy you say? I had really started to enjoy looking at the right kind of curvy woman so bonus for me. She described herself as curvy. Is she a realist? There is enough in the photos to conclude she was not my size. She was nearby, also a good thing. Well, hello there interests. Let me look at you. Ok, Camping, Coffee and conversation, Hobbies and crafts, dining out, Music and concerts, Performing arts. Who the hell is this chick? She likes crafts, dining out, coffee, conversation and music! "Must read on" Sports and exercise include cycling and dancing? Cycling really! and dancing...I wonder what that means exactly.

Let us get to the summary I am intrigued. "I am a take charge kind of person that loves to have someone else take charge.=)"  Smiley face huh? Dirty girl! Subtle but still we get it, we all get it. That is cool that you are ok with  your sexuality though and at the same time somewhat discrete. I wonder how far that rabbit hole goes though. I am not exactly vanilla although I claim to be and no one elver really expects me not to be. The truth of it is that I am neither, I am open to just about anything under the right circumstances. Most of the time anything new or risque is academic for me the first few times then I can either enjoy it or not. I do not however have those desires on my own, I do not seek it out because some people can not handle the duality of it. She says she will try anything once, ok that is awesome I need adventure in my life. I need change and turmoil on occasion. I like a rocky boat, it is when I shine the brightest. I need to live my life the way I play my video games...ON EXPERT! Fuck her profile is so short but everything here is so spot on. Fun, outgoing, has it all together likes to laugh...Enjoys the occasional compliment. Who doesn't like something nice said about them. That's weird...OH! She meant Complement. Yes there is a difference. I didn't find this until later. Yes, I asked.

In her own words a list of favorite things. WTH!? start out strong with Castle (I was not familiar at the time), Bones, blah, blah, blah, walking dead and Being Human. Oh really Being human? Ok, this chick is interesting. Twenty Nine years old? She must have older brothers. Next up is food, Mexican food and Italian food are both good to me although as a Mexican we just call it food. Then there was the I'll listen to almost any music line...I call it a line because come to find out any means country and pop with a touch of hip hop available from Target (you know they only sell the radio versions). I was hopeful at the time but I know better I listen to anything so when she is around she picks, whatever.

Here goes nothing. Red21530

"It's not the worst thing you'll hear."

"But, I just wanted to say I like your face. I find it aesthetically pleasing."

"You came up in my "our picks" so I decided to say Hi.I should say something about "Being Human" or "Bones" but I've got* nothing right now although "Being human" is way underrated and kind of shocking to see anyone mention it."

Now you have done it good sir, she responded...
