Dating Websites

A view of a profile is like:
A sensual smile across a smoky bar that evaporates into the night.
A brush of the hand across the back of the shoulder while passing behind.
The lingering scent of cologne in an empty hall.

Being added as a favorite is like:
Sitting on the bench, you've made the team but might not get to see any action.
Being part of the harem. Was that every third Thursday or every other fourth Friday?
Making it to the front lot of the car dealership, closer but that other one over there has bigger headlights and lower mileage.

Getting one of those cute little Gifs:
Okay, I confess, I think they’re cute, romantic and fun.

Being rated is like:
Just rude.

Adding as a friend is like:
He likes me but not as a potential mate?
Friendship is an important part of any relationship.
You can never have enough friends.

Receiving a wink is like: Confusing
Is that like a wink from across a crowded room and he would like to meet me?
Hubba hubba or come hither?
He’s agreeing with something written in the profile?
Does winking back mean joining some unwritten mating ritual or just open the door to conversation?
There’s something in his eye?

Getting an email is like:
Oh wait … I wouldn’t know.
