So, continuing on from [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=423042)… I made contact with an intriguing woman on LavaLife. We’ve been emailing since Monday, and she wants to meet! She writes beautifully; her picture may have initially piqued my interest, but her writing is confirming that interest. So next weekend, we are probably going to check out the Merrill Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy. :: crosses fingers that all goes well :: :: makes mental note to get haircut :: ::…oh, and do the laundry :: ---

Somedays I can still hardly believe that the incredible guy I met from online ads thinks I’m just as incredible. It really does happen. Thanks. 🙂 I just keep remembering the date where we’d been getting along well online, then we met, and there was _nothing_. No spark, no chemistry, no nuttin’. It was very frustrating, because you can’t _make_ yourself feel attraction that isn’t there. It just doesn’t work. ---
