Two days later, to my amazement, I received an email from Mr. Unusual.
I thought I would let you know that I have gotten back together with my ex and I am now off Match. You sound like a great person and I am sorry we didn’t end up meeting – I am sure you will find a great match.
I laugh. Mr. Unusual, although the guilt you’re obviously feeling is somewhat edifying, you are not even a good liar.

You will not be surprised to learn that Sunday came and went without another word from Mr. Unusual.
I did send off an email to my friend, letting her know she was completely right in her prediction.
She replied: If it’s any consolation, that makes him a cliché, rather than an actual person.

You cannot imagine my surprise when, the following day, as I am setting up my new blog and fiddling with fonts and templates, an email arrives, from Mr. Unusual.
“Feeling better” reads the subject line.
Very sorry about yesterday. Must have been a 24 hour flu. I slept all day.
Feeling better now. Having a good weekend?
Let me know what next Sunday looks like for you. I am out of town this week starting Tuesday and I have my son tomorrow for the holiday and the evening.
This all feels like a lie to me, but then again, I can understand someone having a panic attack or a bad day or whatever. He said he would follow up and he did: points for that.
