"It has been a little more than a week since I began my search on Match.com for The One. I have spent hours clicking through hundreds of women. What I have come up with is an email inbox so overloaded with potential mates that my head is spinning trying to remember the differences between Jenny514 and Jennytwnkletoes. The way the site works is that you upload your photo, fill out a questionnaire about your likes and dislikes (smoking, drinking, education and what not) and everyday the site emails you possible mates that have answered similarly. You then scroll through the profiles, checking out their pictures and reading through their personal information. If someone strikes your fancy you can send an email and they can do the same, until love blossoms. Simple. I have taken the liberty to pick out some email exchanges for your entertainment and so you can get an idea of what you might expect should you ever decide to turn to online dating for romantic salvation. I have changed names in order to protect the innocent of course (printed with permission... grammar mistakes included). &amp;quot;Just wanted to drop by and say hi! You also look Beautiful, Genuine, and intelligent so there&amp;#x27;s the reason I am saying Hi. Hopefully you are just as Beautiful on the Inside as you are on the outside...So how is your week going so far sweetheart?&amp;quot;-Sherri &amp;quot;I loved everything about your profile! Never happens, lol. If you&amp;#x27;re interested in getting together, please feel freel to contact me. If not, good luck on your search!&amp;quot;-Katie Sent 3 times... &amp;quot;hi there i saw your profile and im very interested i am a personal trainer for about 13 yrs i am well established in my career i dont have a boyfriend i dont know why i am not ugly, and am not a jerk, ok sometimes am a jerk at work but thats because i have to be anyways i am looking forward to meet you...&amp;quot;-Jane &amp;quot;hey mike, just read your entry from today- lemme know if you want to hold off on your big first match date. I&amp;#x27;d love to meet you but you sound a little overwhelmed! i&amp;#x27;m not bailing, i&amp;#x27;m still totally game if you are, but i just wanted to tell you not to feel pressured if now just isn&amp;#x27;t a good time to meet new ladies, no matter how awesome. =)&amp;quot;-jentwinkletoes (a.k.a. Miss Smarty Shoes). Well there you go fair readers. The good, the bad and the punctuation-impaired. I have already told you about my date with MSS and am looking forward to seeing her again soon. What do you think about some of the other &amp;quot;matches&amp;quot;?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
