Match 'em up dot com

Whitney:
At 3 am this past Saturday morning, I had just completed my new match.com profile. Now, approximately 60 hours later (2 and a half days), I am the proud (?) recipient of 750 views, 48 "connections" (aka, winks) and 17 emails. Man, that was fast! In addition to letting them come to me, I've pursued a few cuties, sending winks and, when particularly moved to do so, an email or two. It's a really strange culture out there in online dating. I feel like I'm floundering around underwater, searching for some buried treasure. Then when there seems to be a mutual interest, the two matched entities come up for air and move to higher ground, like, say, personal email instead of the intermediary match site email. Then what? You make a date? I haven't gotten that far yet. I spent a good deal of time removing winkers with names like "Seeyousoonbabe", and "BeaverQuest" though.

I went to bed giddy last night because a supercutie had responded to an email I sent. Of course its fun, but its also distracting. And I'm dying to know how Robert's date went this weekend... and there's one tonight too, isn't there Robert?
