No Flow

The one big bummer about having hidden my online dating profile a few weeks back is that it completely put an end to the glut of messages I'd receive each day from potential suitors. While I most certainly don't miss the distractions, nor the energy I invested in evaluating, assessing and in rare cases, actually corresponding with these individuals (my dates had to come from somewhere, right?), I *do* miss the bemused laughter that their messages would so often inspire.

So, with that in mind, I've ventured into my deleted messages folder for a few that never made it onto the blog. This smattering of quixotic missives represents the final round of attempts to engage me before I went into hiding. Admittedly, none really hold a candle to the previous examples safely tucked away in my October blog archives, but they still manage to serve as a humorous and effective reminder why I've taken myself out of the game. And why I don't miss it one teeny tiny bit.

I'm new to [name of state removed] 2 years now. And i find it hard to meet a nice girl who has no baggage or has been devorsed already by the age of 25. My job also makes it kinda hard for me since i go in at 6am Monday thru Friday. Maybe you would like to get together some time? My name is Tim and if you want to you can send me an email to [email removed]. It would be nice to find a girl i can settle with.
