Who would've thought that online dating would be such a heart-tugging drain on my morals? Yes, I admit it.. I have an online dating profile. And while I highly doubt I'll actually meet anyone that I will decide to actually meet, I find it somewhat fun. So, I was on there tonight, you know, checking my messages and whatnot and I got a message from this new guy. He actually sent me virtual flowers (you can't give them to anyone and everyone), don't get me wrong here, I was more weirded out by the flowers on first contact than flattered. But I read his message anyway and while the picture was clearly a grown man, the message attached to the flowers may as well have be written by a young child. Out of pure curiosity, I clicked to view his profile and discovered more of the same until the end where he revealed that he is deaf.... I am a jerk. So, then I proceed to wonder if I should respond to him and maybe befriend him, until I realized that my guilt was making me feel sorry for him and my response would honestly only be out of pity and that could be way worse than just sucking on my own guilt. In my defense, I am quite honestly sick of seeing perfectly capable people misspell and misuse the English language.
In short: I am a jerk.
