One of my friends is recently single and joined match.com to try and meet people. The thing is, she is gorgeous and vivacious and meets men all the time and doesn’t need to go online to meet guys. Over the course of the one week my friend has been a match.com member, 527 people have looked at her profile.
527 people.
Five hundred twenty seven people.
Who are all these people? Where are all these people? Oh wait, I know – sitting in front of their computers. This is why I don’t meet any good men, because they are all at home on the internet.
Well, okay, maybe if I didn't spend every night at home watching Star Trek and chilling with the cats, maybe I might meet some single guys.
But probably not, because they are all sitting at home flirting with hot girls on match.com.
Anyhoo, one frightening thing I learned tonight is that when you look at someone’s match.com profile, they can see that you looked at them. Which is bad because I recently met a cute guy and we sort of hit it off but I wanted to make sure he wasn't an escaped convict, or worse, married with kids.
So I did what anyone would do.
I looked him up on match.com.
Lo and behold, there he was. Not only did the info in his profile check out with what he told me, he sounded like a really genuine guy, someone I could totally go for.
Unfortunately, now that he thinks I’m silently stalking him, he will probably never contact me again.
Ack.
My friend with the 527 profile hits says who cares, I should just e-mail him anyway, but screw it, I’m going to try and grasp at that last thread of dignity I have left and forget about him.
And the next time I meet someone I am remotely interested in, I will make a concerted effort not to stalk him in cyberspace.

When there isn't a common acquaintance involved I think it's only normal to want some sort of verification. So unless you hit his site several hundred times you should just email him.
PS. I stole a soul once, OK, maybe twice...
I agree with the anti-christ- e-mail this guy- you're only short changing yourself by denying yourself the opportunity to connect with someone decent. Your quest for verification is valid, but now act like an adult and not like a kid in the candy jar. Contact him- the worst you can find out is that he's a loser and you can cut him off in cyberspace.
Who would have thought that satan would give such sound advice? I am tempted, satan, by your suggestions....
Yeah, sorry about that...
I leave all the crazy advice, like go wander in the desert for 40 years, for God to dish out.
Why don't you join match.com? You could meet tons of guys. Make them come to you! So what if you looked at that guy's profile? He should be flattered that you took the time to check him out. Now send him a witty email. You have lots of writing talent. Let it flow, then reel him in!!!
