I have active dating profiles on a few websites. These include, but are not limited to: okcupid.com, plentyoffish.com, christianmingle.com, match.com and eharmony.com. Phew. Just writing all that out makes me feel a little desperate! I paid for both match and eharmony at one point as they are useless unless you pay but all the others I have opted for the free versions. "You get what you pay for” comes to mind when I consider the quality of interactions that I have had from some of these sites. Most recently one of my more amusing set of messages came from okcupid.com.

| You'd think that if I didn't respond after the second message he would move on. You would be wrong |
I certainly was flattered but I prefer the people I correspond with to be a bit more eloquent. Since he was persistent I decided to check out his profile. And I am glad I did…

| A couple of thoughts: How is one a New York native of Ghana? He's really good at.... swimming...? |
 |
| Inspirational book? Burger? Jerry Springer Show? FRUITS? |
Wow...okay
 |
| I also "cherish quiet parties" How does one "walk at sand"? I'm so glad he has a great sense of humor... =/ |
This is just a sliver of the amazingness that I have come across at okcupid and various other sites. I hope you liked what you read, and share it with others!
