Thinking about this on Valentine’s Day.
Dating is daunting, especially now with the pandemic making the “meet and greet” a bad option for those staying safe with the Best Practices to not contract nor spread the virus. Computer, or e-dating, has been, is and will be a practical way to meet, communicate, and see if there might be a “connection” (similar interests, compatibility, chemistry); and, if all the cosmic tumblers fall into place, find a meaningful, lasting relationship. Computer dating has proven results. People do find love and get married.

I find it interesting and sad
that men are like mice
so easily trained and seduced
by what they see and hear
and experience

With computer dating, a person has to write a profile and give a self description. A lot of fiction gets written there. Not me. I am a happy retired goofball who can make people laugh and smile with five lines of doggerel and either you are going to get me and like me or you’re not. The profile also has a “profile name” where you can use a moniker to “advertise” or “brand” yourself.

I have experience with computer dating. It works for people every day. It’s worked for me. I married two women I met on Match and made many lasting friendships. One of the problems with computer dating is misrepresentation. People post 40 year old pictures and embellish their self-descriptions. In many cases, they are simply describing themselves the way that they want to be and not how they actually are. They are looking for an edge, something that will make them stand out amongst the crowd, but unfortunately it does not change the reality of who they really are. An example would be stating that they are financially secure and that really means that their checking account is not overdrawn at the moment.

Nigh on thirty years
Suppressed affection,
Finally seeing
The light of day.

They move similarly
Like we did,
Through half closed eyes
I feel you before me,
Liquid squelch
And I hear your voice,

Her lips on mine,
Drifting between
The urgent need
And lazy caresses,
Tongues duel
While our bodies
Press tight.

Crash and burn
3 am drama,
Not how I wish
We ended up,
But the ‘gift’ another

She opens up
Raw and unstable,
No more than everyone else
Inside,
Scared,
She offers up
Love and devotion,

I saw him walking he looked at me
I knew he would find me someday
I waited enjoying his every step
Breathing in with bated breath

Settling down
But not yet complete,
Continue a search
Which at times
Seems obtuse,
Never the right one
Close by at hand

Silver droplets in my head,

Mocha skin,
A gentle touch

A touch that juxtaposes

Out on your motorbike
With no crash helmet.
It ends up in hospital.
You needed protection.
In the local brothel.
Girls are working hard.
Security mans on guard.
They all have protection.
