Then there was the Rambling Geeky Bachelor from Cupidtino. I mocked him initially because I perceived his long email as weird and impetuous, but also because he made fun of my profile picture. Even though my profile picture is utterly and completely mockable! I mean, just look at it! I look like a total tool! Sure, I'm smiling and seem to be having fun, but in a really douchey, cheap, Vegas kind of way. I'm wearing beads for Christ's sake.
Eventually, I felt bad for making fun of the Cupidtino guy and decided to write him back. I was friendly, with a heavy dose of clever, light-hearted sarcasm. A few days later he wrote a nice reply, which I then replied to a few days later. I started to think we were hitting it off after all. I still haven't received a third message from him and, sadly, Cupidtino now requires a membership fee to read your messages. Why, Cupidtino? Why do you hate me?
Right now I'm unsure about throwing down the $4.79. I don't believe me and computer guy are going anywhere romantically because he lives in SF and doesn't show his face in his profile picture which means he's probably a dog. (Oh shit, was that bitchy?)
There are just so many questions left unanswered. For example:
- If I let $4.79 stand in the way of romance, does that make me cheap?
- Is $4.79 a lot of money?
- Why is it $4.79 instead of an even $5?
- Is it worth $4.79 if it at least led to an interesting end to this half-assed online dating saga?
- What if it's for blogging purposes only?
- Is assuming this 'had potential to be interesting' mean I am a 'hopeful person'?
- Is it sad that I really want a venti Mocha right now?
- Will I ever get laid?

I think it's hilarious that you want a venti mocha right now, it might be more enjoyable. Anyway what's with them assuming that we would spend $4.79 on a venti mocha? How about $2.25? That's how much I would spend on an americano.
