The Dork Reflux
I responded to an ad from someone who seemed to have it all: Looks, brains, worldliness, education, left-of-center politics, wit and a career about which she was passionate. She responded back, and I was thrilled. We e-mailed, and she showed a great sense of humor. Then she asked for my phone number, which I promptly sent. This week she called, and . . .
Well, let's just say that all members of Personals should beware of what I now call Dork Reflux. This is the rather unpleasant experience of discovering that someone who honestly seemed perfect turns out to be a complete and utter dork with whom conversation is like talking to a cardboard box. Ugh.
But never fear. I shall return to the fray in search of a Special Someone. Fortune favors the bold, no?
