A Response

This morning I decided to send a message to a girl on OKC. She has no pictures posted and her profile is 7 sentences. The only reason I found her was because she favorited me.

Clicking on the profile of someone who has favorited me but has no picture of her own is a little stressful for me. To me it's like a minature blind date. You have no idea what to expect going in, and if this person just isn't for you, you may have to deal with telling them as much because who knows if they are going to be just head-over-heels for you. Okay that's a bit much for just viewing someone's post, but if they happen to be online and they catch you looking and then they try to talking through the built in IM, it's just no fun. So I held my breath and took a peek.

Fortunately those 7 sentences weren't bad. Actually not one of them sent off any flags. I was also pleased that she had atheletic put down as her body type, and Catholic as her religion. Actually I was a little concerned about the Catholic part. On this site you can put, sort of Catholic, Catholic, or very Catholic. Well she only had 'Catholic' and I didn't want a cafeteria Catholic. But I wasn't about to let this potential problem keep me from investigating further.

So this morning I sent her an e-mail. Based on those 7 sentences and little quick factoid section, I asked her a bunch of questions. This was challenging because I still don't know exactly how to start talking to someone. I basically told her, "I have no idea how to start talking to you, but I hear the way is to ask questions. So here a bunch of questions." And later this afternoon she responded.

This time she wrote much more than 7 sentences. She was pleasant too. The only problem was she didn't attach any pictures. I didn't ask her to in my first message. And I didn't ask her to in my reponse to her response either. Hopefully she will without me asking her. I suppose whether or not she does, the whole mystery is sort fun.
