International winks

Over the weekend I had a rush of blood to the head, and took the plunge into a world of which I have always been sceptical. The idea that one can find true love - hell, any love at all - on the internet, is frankly astonishing. And yet, by all accounts it can happen! Of course, not everyone who places their profile - complete with smiling protrait - on a website, will find someone they can connect with. But there's always the chance....

I created an account on two separate sites. One international, one more centred on the UK. The results were mixed, but, in retrospect, predictable.

On the UK site, I got one response that same evening, saying that I was fussy (or words to that effect).

On the international one, my profile have been visited by no less than 6 women, and two have even winked at me. Electronically, of course. They are aged between 28 and 47, and their places of residence are listed as Romania, Hungary, Tokyo, Minnesota USA, and the two winks were from Thailand and the Philippines.

Excellent! I'll now go and book a table for my first date, shall I?
