A Woman’s Computer Dating Disclaimer Limerick

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.

SOME MEN ARE LIKE MICE

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

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

THE GAME

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

the lure
the trap
the bait
the smile
the call
the date

A “Know Thyself Computer Dating” Limerick

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.

A “Computer Dating Disclaimer” Limerick

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,

-12.10.15_22:29-

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

-25.09.15_08:55-

Roll and toss,
Looking for
The body I want pressed
To mine,

-12.09.25_10:51-

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

Finding You

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

Big Pond

One fish, two fish
Me fish, you fish

Plenty of fishes
Wishbone wishes

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

-09.06.13_18:18-

Vibrant laugh,
Silver droplets in my head,
I watch as she
Light’s up the room,

-17.05.13_02:09-

Sweet, soft
Mocha skin,
A gentle touch
Sliding through my hair,
A touch that juxtaposes

Poem: Protection.

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.
