The Roster

It's the end of the week and I wanted to take inventory of the Match.com dating roster as it stands. We have:

Skinny Man -- older man who asked me out yesterday for today. I sent him my number and now I have not heard back. Why would he ask me out then not follow-through? Hmph. Red flag.

The Wrestler -- smidge older than me. This guy is sort of wacky but I like him. He was once on the road to becoming a professional wrestler! Who does that? Found out yesterday that he has a whole site of his own and apparently wants to be an actor or something. Red flag -- this guy could be completely broke...keep an eye out. At least he doesn't live with his mother or have cats. I will allow myself to imagine him becoming famous, and me, his wife of course, will be rich. Faaaantastic.

The Lurker -- This guy is older and he's been "winking" at me for 6 months. Finally I wrote back and he asked me out. Bata bang Bata Boom! Just like that. Waiting for him to send his phone number so we can chat. This guy has very little to say by email, so he is suspect because I don't know anything about him! He's a secret keeper, I can see it.

Oil Man -- guy works at his dad's oil company. That's fine, but his profile says "lives with family." RED FLAG. I'd put $100 on him living with them and his mom doing all of his laundry. No high expectations.

Let's hope there is someone normal in this group.
