The Hazards of Online Dating

by

I have not been well for the last day of so, so it may be the fever talking, but online dating has one major flaw (well more than one, I’m sure, but one that is really torking me off tonight): You see this cute picture and decide to read the profile, you read the profile and like what it says, you send a little flirt or a charming email to see if ya still got it, you do, so you start corresponding regularly.

The more you correspond with this person, the more you like them. You think that possibly a date would be a good idea to see if the aforementioned pheromones are there. Then you get on mapquest and realize that they are on the other side of the flippin universe, or might as well for all practical purposes.

That, my friends, is not fun. I think that one answer to this is that the dating sites should let you “hide� profiles that are a certain distance from you. Or profiles that are out of your state. Or profiles that have this or that criteria that you just can’t live with. If the profiles are hidden, then the temptation to track down that hunk or babe who lives approximately 8 billion states away will be taken out of the picture.

Simple! I should be the one making the rules!! Either that or you geniuses out there start inventing the technology like molecular transportation or rearrangement of states!
