I have this theory that during the internet dating process, you meet 3 different guys. The first is the one you meet in the profile and exchange e-mails with. As a writer, I’m usually drawn to the ones who can fire off witty exchanges with ease. Then there is the guy on the phone and then there is the guy you meet in person.
I’ve had fantastic phone convos with more than one guy, only to show up and have no chemistry in person –- absolutely nadda. As many women –- including most of my married friends –- do, I’m willing to stick it out a couple of dates to see if it evolves. The men, not-so-much. The guys I’ve liked the best have moved straight from e-mail to date, by passing the phone in favor of the in-person get-to-know-you. I’m now very suspicious of those guys who want to exchange multiple e-mails and phone calls to warm you up. And this is exactly why.
“I understand if height is a deal breaker for you,” Wildly Fantastic said. So if you knew it was going to be, why the hell didn’t he put his true height down. “We’ll be the same height when we’re lying down,” he laughs, like I’m supposed to find that reassuring?
