I'm glad now that I have not yet given up on online dating - if only because I have this funny story to tell you of a texted conversation I had with a man on OKStupid. ------------------------------
Man: Sorry been in and out of meetings we are starting a new program for a trainer system Did I read you are a technical writer. If so do you use xml formatting
SK: Yes, I'm a tech writer, but have not so far used XML formatting at any job.
Man: Which standard do you use s1000
SK: We just got our ISO 9000 cert - working towards 27000 and CMMI.
Man: Cool mind if I reach out because I have to put together training manual
SK: I may not have a lot of time to devote - my job is pretty busy this week. How soon does the training manual need to be done?
Man: In about 6 months Just if I have questions
SK: LOL, are you trying to date me, or hire me?
J/k - I'll answer if I can.....

@smartkat, you must have used a very nice font on your profile!

How could you resist such a silver tongued charmer?
And there must be so much XML-based innuendo he's just missing out on entirely.

I guess if the guy is into S&M, you can whip out your red pen and mark him up!

Actually, I'll be glad when this dating bullshit is over; and I'm either in a stable relationship again, or else reconciled to being alone.

I like it when Loverman asks me things that are non-intimate related though. I helped him (a little) with negotiating his new offer at his current job (been there less than one year), helped talk him down from edge of panic when awaiting responses on his real estate offer, talk to him about how to deal with his boss. It's nice to have a mental-level connection and one where he shows respect for my abilities - like he will say: I want your opinion on; or: You're really smart, will you read this for me and give me input? But then again - we were already way into a relationship (of sorts) by the time this level of advisement was requested. Tinder update for me - a person I knew already from my group, but didn't know if he was single or not, "liked" my Tinder profile and we chatted just a bit. He's kinda cute, may be too quiet for me (or I may be too bodacious for him), but I told him I'd like to have coffee sometime, just to find out if we are compatible or not. He hasn't replied to that one yet, but I sort of hope he will. (I had already noticed, irl, how his eyes join in the smile when he jokes - so I was pleased to see him on the app, actually). I'll let you know what happens, if anything, of course!
