Feasting
at the all-you-can-click buffet of Match.com profiles is a
blast. But when e-sparks start flying with one special suitor,
I’m ready to step out and meet the man on my computer
screen.
I prefer to have the first offline date someplace public
and cozy. While we share a cup of java, guess what’s running
through my mind:
1. Do I look nervous?
Maybe it’s just a coincidence that I locked my keys in the
car. I’ll deal with that later. More importantly, is my
lipstick okay? I wish I hadn’t worn this thong.
2. Didn’t he already use that joke?
Uh-oh. I thought his material was original, not retreads.
Please tell me he’s not one of those guys who fires off
corny, old jokes like balls in a batting cage when he’s
trying to impress a date.
3. Perfect.
The only odor I detect on him is the faint hint of shaving
cream. That mean I can leave the anti-cologne gas mask in my
purse.
4. Wasn’t his hair darker in the photo?
Maybe the lighting was different. But I remember his hairline
being lower, too. Your
match is on Match.com
