Good Morning Saigon

One of the interesting features of online dating is you can see who has looked at your profile. Bonus for me. Not so much for the men who's profiles I've viewed.

And it's not because I'm a psycho stalker who sits in front of Captain America's profile everyday in my pj's with a box of Kix. When I'm replying to a message, I like to click on their profile, remember where they're from, what they do, if they're cute (aka reply-worthy).

Unfortunately, this feature does empower some men to message me and say things like, "Hey saw you were checking my profile, don't be shy" when I clearly didn't feel the need to say hello upon realizing their education is "N/A" and their career is "Professional."

So this morning I sign on, and click Viewed Me to see the photos of the most recent 20 drop-in's. Okay, cute, cute, ehhh, no, no, could be...no, meh...

And then, I see it. And gasp in horror loud enough for my coworker to ask if I'm ok.

Mister Saigon is now online dating.

On Your Marks...

Out of the group of gentlemen I've been conversing with, I'd say there are definitely two who interest me a little more than the rest. If this were a race (and the prize is my heart, awww) then they'd be tied for first place.

In Lane 1, we have a handsome 28-year-old, 6'0" college grad who lives in the 'burbs. According to his profile, he's a "nice guy but not too nice." Be still my heart. He plays guitar, likes going out with friends and monster ballads. Um Is This Love is an awesome ballad so we'll call him Whitesnake.

In Lane 2 is a 26-year-old Michigan native with brown hair and a cute smile. He enjoys music, reading, sports, travel and family. And volunteering. Bonus points. A philanthropist with schoolboy charm who works for an airline? He's Captain America.

So based on all of these qualities, and the messages I've exchanged with each fellow, I'm happy to say they're both meet-worthy. And Whitesnake just proposed drinks, so we'll see what happens. There's also a Canadian med student who wants to grab drinks, and a Tennessee-born salesman who does as well.

I see many drinks in my near future.
