My dearest pen pal...
I
think there should be an understanding on the online dating sites: if you
exchange multiple lengthy messages (say 2 each) and find them delightful to
read, either admit you want a pen pal or ask the girl out. I keep getting
handsome pen pals. That is great if I were a few hundred miles away, if I
were married and elusive, or if I didn't look anything like my photos; but I’m right here… within 25 miles of my alleged zip
code. I want a guy with the confidence to ask me out; because if you are too
shy to ask me out, you are probably too shy to say ‘no’ when I ask you out. So,
handsome pen pal, the ball is in your court. <Ask yourself, is that really where you want your ball(s)?>

I have one of these...perhaps that's why I wait (accidentally) to message back for days at a time! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think his ball is in his pen.
ReplyDeleteI had one of these. I think I scared him off with a story of my high school essay about locking up fat people on an island with water and crackers. See here: http://www.startingatsingle.com/2012/08/window-shopping-week-1.html Which was really a shame because our discourse was so entertaining. Then again, maybe he was a Ball-in-Pen guy and it was never going to happen anyway.
Moving on...
