Re: re: re: re: hey

I am shocked, shocked!, to find out that people who write good emails don’t make for good dates and vice versa. If you’re thinking I’m an idiot for not knowing this already, well hang in there, I’m sure to provide more evidence that’s true.

I just can’t believe that I wouldn’t connect with someone who writes engaging emails and really like someone who doesn’t. What is that disconnect about? I’m engaging in email and in person (and on blogs, right?).  I am reminded of a friend of mine who once insisted, “I’m funny in Korean!” Which was, of course, hilarious.

The bigger problem with all this is now I have to go out with guys who write mediocre emails.

Sometimes it's not just via email. This woman talks about how chemistry on the phone didn't mean chemistry in person: http://www.blacknbougie.com/2009/10/few-things-i-need-in-boo-requirement-4.html

I would not have gone shopping for that guy.

One thing she avoided though, was the guy I had no chemistry with had this awful high pitched voice. I would have known that if we had ever called each other. Which I categorically refuse to do.
