After I posted about Mr. Unusual’s astonishing* return to match.com, I was (actually) surprised to receive an email from one of my readers in response.
Calling Bullshit, she said, is reason enough to email him.
So I did: I forwarded my match.com email with his shiny new profile picture listed under my new matches, and added the comment:
Guess it didn’t work out with “the ex.” Best of luck.
He replied six minutes later:
Very close, but it did not. I am still sad about it and probably should wait until January to start over. . .
He actually wrote that: “…”
If you look closely, you can see the bullets I think I dodged.
No, I didn’t reply.
Yes, I have a sneaking feeling I haven’t heard the last of him.
*Yes, that was sarcasm.
I think it’s excellent that he has to think about how transparent he is.
