i am reaaally bored at work, and this gray rainy day is making me want to crawl back into bed. needless to say, i am trying to entertain myself, and maybe you in the process.
as a result, here are more tales from online dating. i will specify though, this comes to you from my space, which i absolutely 100% do NOT use for dating. i am only on because i have been able to track down some old friends.
at any rate, from my inbox:
I'm stuck at work with nothing to do today. So of course I turned to Myspace. I was messing around on here and you caught my attention.
And I know I'm not your age, but I figured why not write you an email. What do I have to lose, right?
I'm not going to ramble since you don't even know me. But I just wanted to tell you how good looking you are. You must be turning heads every where you go. Kinda makes me wish i was alittle older.
Hope this email wasn't too out of line.

now, here is what is so entertaining about this. i was curious how old this kid was, since he clearly took my age very seriously. any guesses? 23? 22? 18?
NO. the guy is 27! i'm 30 for cryin out loud. ah well, i guess we simply weren't meant to be. perhaps if he were a little older.... (where is the emoticon DRIPPING with sarcasm?)

Sounds like your estimate of 18 as his age was a little high--emotional (not chronological) age, that is...
you're right--i gave him far too much credit. darn that 'benefit of the doubt' thing.
I wasn't thinking in terms of benefit of the doubt, but since you're saying I'm right, I'll just quit typing and say "thanks".
