I’ve come to the conclusion that I am programmer at heart. I’ve become enthralled at how this web page is working. That I can “click here” and suddenly have more options appear. I want to know how I can program this. So I’ve taken time and started playing with Javascript to figure out how I can abuse this system.
Anyway, about three years ago I opted for some nice public scrutiny/humiliation. The Edmonton Journal published that they were having I dating game. I decided to apply, having nothing better to do, and being lonely. In the end I was picked to go on a date with Kimberly Bigl. I had a good time, but I read in the paper the next day that her response was “I had an awesome time. He was so nice and nice looking, but I just don’t think we’re compatible.” Shot down in front of the greater Edmonton area. The newspaper said that even if it didn’t work out, that other people would probably be interested in contacting me. But I’ve heard nothing. And that has pretty much been my love life for the past three years.
Why is this relevant?
I read in the Edmonton Journal this sunday that they are doing a similar experiment of trying to fix up single people. I have not learned my lesson, I have nothing better to do, and I am lonely. I just need to apply. The question I’m stumped at is “How do your friends describe you?” It’s very open and I haven’t gotten a serious answer from co-workers. (Any suggestions?)
At the same time, some people in my running club decided that they need to try and fix me up with someone. I’ve heard that story before, so I’m not holding my breath.
I also recently decided to try eHarmony.com. They claim that they probe your personality and determine who would be my perfect fit. So I did the personality test, and now I have several people I need to contact to see if we’re really compatible.
But will any of this lead anywhere?
