That all sounds a bit strange. A couple of years ago when I was in a live-in relationship, we saw "Avenue-Q "at the Pantages theatre in Toronto. We liked the idea of puppets doing the tough stuff and thus King Bobo and his cohorts (names deleted) were born. Lasted us for a long time and was good. King Bobo (or friends) could rant about a messy kitchen or bathroom and it was not taken too seriously. King Bobo could make a fiat that work must be done. Then work was done. Also King Bobo (but not so much his assistants) was a self proclaimed coach of any team currently on TV. He is able to shout and scream and question any coaches play so long as he was wearing that team jersey. Damn, King Bobo won two superbowls for the Steelers. He still lives with me, as do his buddies. Maybe a little subdued these days, but ready for next season! ---

I’m a single guy myself in my late 30’s. I’d be _very_ happy if a girl I was talking to online sent me a picture like yours! Like others said before, online dating does a disservice to those involved. When my only contact with a girl is faceless I can’t help but give her a face and mannerisms in my head. This only leads to disapointment when we first meet. Now, if I meet somebody online, I try to have a face to face meeting for coffee as soon as possible just so we can see who we’re talking to. ---

No puppets in the photo sent. In fact the “dope” photo was not the one I sent. I sent a different one. ---

You look great! And after looking at your photo, really the most plausible explanation I can come up with is that he realized that he is nowhere near awesome enough for you. Such was the shining example of your amazingness that he was immediately struck dumb, including electronically. These things happen; it’s just part of the burden of being the really great person you are. (I write this with no evil sarcasm, I assure you!) ---

And just like that you blow it.
