Tonight I got an email from another member of OKCupid that was very flattering, friendly, and a straight out come-on.*
Sometimes an ego boost comes just at the time when you need it most.
I don't talk about poly much because family reads this and they do not understand it. I don't want to upset anyone. That being said, I like to be totally open about my life, talking about what I want to talk about so my hope is that they can deal with seeing/skipping these posts.
As for the woman who wrote to me, unfortunately she was reacting to my profile thinking I was still in Rochester as I had forgotten to update it. She specifically is only looking for people nearby. Unfortunate, but there you have it.
Still, that ego boost is helpful.
Now I just have to get a job and a car, then maybe I'll find myself a girl. Until that happens I can't feel good enough about myself to actively pursue a relationship with anyone.**
*And it was too well-written/personal to be a robot, so stop doubting, folks.
**Heck, that even kind of includes my wife...
