Mr. Cerebral emailed me for the third time today, and no mention of us meeting in person or getting together. He is in California right now, but that doesn't mean he can't book a date for when he returns. It's looking like he is only after a pen pal, or passing time because he has nothing else to do while he cooling his heels at the hotel between business meetings.

I'm going to wait 48 hours to reply to his last email, and then I won't be responding to any further messages unless there is a request for a get together. Let's see where the chips fall.

One of the people I didn't let go yesterday, J, asked me out in his second email. He has only been in Canada for 3 years, but seems more motived. The only thing that was odd is that he wanted me to decide on where and when we meet instead of making the arrangements, so I have to wonder about his agenda. I turned the tables back and told him what part of the city I worked and that he could meet me somewhere in the vicinity after work one day, and didn't hear back.

Seeing that there are no other eligible bachelors to consider at this time, I may not have much to blog about in the coming days. I'm not too impressed thus far with the suitors I've encountered to date on Match. Last time I was registered there were lots more candidates than now. Not sure why? I may just resurrect my Lavalife profile too to see if there are any viables on that site.

Keeping an open mind...

Despite the fact that my profile clearly states I am looking for men between 39 and 45, I'm getting approached by much older men, like J, a newcomer to Canada with very broken English. He emailed me Saturday, I replied yesterday as per the email response interval rule (24 hrs), and in his second email to me he asked me out for a 15-minute coffee - a very small commitment. I'm trying to stay objective and not pre-judge, so I responded saying I would go. Stay tuned for those details.

And speaking of broken English: I don't have a problem with a newcomer struggling with his language skills, but when an American whose native language is English emails me and can't spell to save his life, let alone string a sentence together, I get turned off. Here is an unedited exerpt from his last communication:

...you are very prety its your moms falt. iam very greatfull for everything i got to. i love life.ther are so many things i like to do...

Oh, and did I mention that 2 out of 3 of the profile pics he posted are of him in the same white 'beater'. Why do I always attract the rednecks???
