Most of the messages I get here seem to be some variation of "what if I don't like horror movies but I really love your writing? Is that okay?" It's more than okay. If that's the case, I think it means that something about me as a person appeals to you more than my interests do. That's gotta be a good thing, right?

To be honest, I'm not as gung ho about them as I used to be. I haven't even watched one in months. I still have an endless supply of information and useless facts about them if you care to delve into that particular subject matter though.

Horror seems pretty basic nowadays. If I was into video games too, I'd probably sound like a walking cliché. None of that is the sturdiest ground to build a foundation upon. It's much more important for our morals to line up than our movies. I'd hate to think I missed out on a potential soulmate because they're not a fan of actors covered in red food coloring and corn syrup. So, yes, I'm still accepting girlfriend applications, and no, you don't have to like horror to apply. Your being a good person is the most important qualification, that and actually being single. I'm not interested in chatting with the already partnered at all. Go home, you're drunk.

When it comes to messaging, one time is just as good as any. Take your pick. 3 am, 3 pm, doesn't matter. You won't be disturbing me. This isn't a numbers thing I'm going for. I'm looking for the right one, not every one. Don't assume I've ridden off into the sunset with whomever made it here first. We probably talked for all of five minutes and weren't feeling it. My favorite messages are the ones that come straggling in late and save me the trouble of making a new post that day. More of that please. That's less work for me to do and look at that, you're already getting on my good side.

I also get messages telling me I talk too much. If you don't like reading, I'm probably not your guy. That's kind of how this whole thing works, writing stuff that the other one reads. How else are we supposed to communicate? I'm no clairvoyant and the whole grunting caveman routine doesn't translate as well online as it does in person. We use our words here.

So hopefully this helps direct a little traffic my way and one of them is that special someone who'll put and end to me posting things like this. There's probably a snowball's chance in hell finding them here of all places, but it's one of those lemons into lemonade situations.
