Real Kato Blog: Dating Update

More minor bits of news on the dating front; still nothing exciting.

(NOTE: Looking for information on "finduslove"? Click this link.)

The big news is that cock-out girl has corrected her profile. She did not, however, correct the word "possiable" on the same line.

I got a "wink" from a girl in Winston Salem. A wink is a way of letting someone know you're interested, without actually sending an e-mail. People send winks because they're free.

The person who winked at me has a really pretty picture posted, but the profile text was pretty generic. I started to get a little suspicious because Winston Salem is four hours away from here, and she seemed a little too pretty to be winking at people that far away. Plus, I know that there are, um, "professionals" who lurk around on-line dating sites trying to drum up business. Then, there was this line in her profile: "I'm also trying another sight [sic] called finduslove." Could it be she's trying to get folks to sign up there? Could this be some sort of scam?

So I didn't write back immediately. Now I've found a different profile, this one in Raleigh, also with a cute picture. It's similarly generic, and the text contains the exact same sentence about finduslove, complete with the misspelling "sight". I smell a rat.

There was one new interesting profile; a Middle Eastern girl woman a doctorate degree. I think she teaches at Duke. I know some people who have had bad experiences dating professors, but I just might give her a shot.

Of course, this may all become moot because tonight I'm going out for a birthday dinner and dancing, and there will be at least a couple of single women in attendance. Assuming I make it home, I will write again late tonight with an update.

Another birthday dinner? Come on now, it was three weeks ago! :-}

I don't see any problem with dating professors. Being married to one is pretty nice. I think it depends on whether they have tenure or not. Untenured profs can be insane-work-a-holics. Tenured profs don't have to do anything. In what field does she teach? Go for it!

Winston Salem is more like 3 hours away. The internet says it is only 2.

Sounds kind of fishy though.

Oh, sorry... it wasn't for my birthday, it was for my friend Jessica. I'll post an article about it momentarily.

I agree with Jen.
Contact the professor. We need a story here.
