match.com fun

So I received the first blog worthy email from a guy at match.com, check it out ---

Subject: Pirouettes and pas de deux

I am looking for a date to go see Carmen in two weeks on opening weekend. You seem like the kind of woman who might like to dress up and go see the ballet. If not we seem like we may have many other things we might enjoy together like a glass of wine on my patio or a weekend trip for peace and quiet or an energetic event. I have just moved back to Raleigh and am looking to get reacquainted, or in our case acquainted in the first place. There are so many new places to see like north hills and the Fayetteville street rehab or old favorites like Glenwood south and Franklin street, plus all the nooks and crannies in-between. Last weekend I went to the free show at regency and drank wine while the symphony played and fireworks shot off. We had a blast. Wish you could have been there. Tell me what you think about the 16th though. Ciao

First off, this is clearly a cut and paste email he sends to everyone. There is no mention of anything from my profile.

Second, he sounds like he works for the Raleigh Tourism board.

Third, what straight man goes to the symphony, drinks wine, and has a blast? The wine must have been Franzia and the symphony must have been playing "Star Wars"

Oh, I'd forgotten how fun this online dating thing can be . . .
