We screen for felons…

Okay, this should be a warning sign.
So, I’m looking at my e-mail on the web the other day and I saw an ad for a dating service called True.com. What caught my eye was not that it was a on-line dating service, there are plenty of those, but it was the statement that they screen for felons and married people. Huh? You mean that’s an actual problem? Obviously I’m fairly niave when it comes to the “modern” dating scene, because I hadn’t thought about being concern that someone placing an ad was a felon. (Yes, the married thing had, in fact, occured to me, but, considering my current situation, that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, eh?) Well, it’s enough of an issue that MSNBC actually had an article about it.

I don’t think I want to date anyone via the internet any time soon, after all, you never know who you’re going to meet online. It could turn out to be someone like, well, ME! It’s scary out there!
