I Hope These Pixels Are Attractively Arranged
by V. Blakei guess romance and pragmatism cancel each other out
and no one else seems to find this confusing.
i resent the percentage of my life
i have spent trying to take a hint.
just say what you mean.
i need a girl who wears practical shoes
and walks up escalators.
someone who understands that being well-traveled
says that you are well-traveled,
and says nothing more.
just mean what you say.
after all, it is easy to be clear
when your depth is visible to eyes above water.
i think i'd rather meet a puddle than an ocean
if i couldn't see one shore from the other.
just know the difference. 07/29/2014 Author's Note: Online dating is weird.

| Posted by Anita Mac on 07/31/14 at 03:03 AM I got a kick out of this. Dating is weird... But, I'm quite fond of my ocean. |

| Posted by A. Paige White on 08/04/14 at 07:17 PM Considering the current state of my marriage that began online... Good luck! |
