we met on-line. gag, right?! yep that is exactly how i felt. i was weary of meeting someone this way, but when you are a single, full-time mom with a job, how do you meet someone? i had no idea. so i plunged into the world of online dating. i quickly found out that it is a super crazy world!! even though i was on there, i just didn't trust these people. i like a more organic way of meeting someone. you know meeting someone out and about in person? that just wasn't happening in my limited exposure to the world.
on the dating site where i met matt, you can "cyber flirt" by clicking this button to "wink" at someone. ok i think this is totally stupid. if you are perusing profiles and someone peaks your interest just tell them so with an email why waste your time winking? when someone would wink at me i would just pass them by, hit delete without looking any further into who they are.
however, i got a wink from a cute guy. now when you are online dating, physical appearance is at the top of the criteria list. if a fella doesn't create some sort of spark then you should just move on. so this cute guy winks at me. i broke my own rules and checked out his profile. i was even more intrigued by him, i loved what he had to say about himself and what he was looking for. so i sent him an email "i hate the wink, if you have something to say to me you should say it." ok ok i know that was kind of rude, but i really don't like the wink. funny enough this didn't scare him off. we started emailing and you know how the story continues.
this initial interaction is often brought up when we are together. the other night, after dinner and a walk i was taking off my shoes and matt winked at me.
me: i love a real wink
matt: well thank goodness for "the wink"
me: you are lucky you are cute
matt: i am lucky you are blind
every now and then i send him a text that simply says *wink*.
