Morse Code Monday

I'm a mere twenty-four hour into the world of Match.com and already I'm getting more play than I did in six months of E-Harmony.  The twists, turns, and terror of E-Harmony are for another time.  I'm brokering deals with four prospects right now.  Okay, not deals exactly, but everything sounds cooler in investment banker lingo.  They too must wait for another time, because I'm focused on one at this very moment.

He's thirty-one.  Older than me is always a bonus.  His pics make him seem kind of dorky, but his tag line is totally a line from a Michael Buble song.  And I love me some Michael Buble.  His credentials, if not made up, make him a super genius. We're talking MENSA smart.  I'm quasi-intimidated by a lot in life, but I'm also not afraid to be me.  First step in become a MRS.  Fall in love with yourself.  I love me!!!  Back to my potential man of a thousand words.

He didn't cyber wink at me.  Instead he emailed me, which I actually find sexy.  It's the cyber equivalent of walking up to a stranger and saying hello.  What did man-genius say in his email you ask?  Well, so far I have only translated this:   If you figure this out I'd like to hear...  That's it, that's all I got.  Why you ask?  ITS IN MORSE CODE!!!!!!,  The dude wrote me a message using morse code. Yup, that's right dots and dashes only.  At first I thought..."Crazy weirdo did what?"  But then I chillaxed, sat back into my mass of pillows and
smiled at the creativity. I'm a sucker for the creativity.  Not only is it different, but he had to put extra time and effort into it.  And it shows that he has some confidence.  Other guys probably wouldn't write anything so fanciful for fear of not getting a response.  This guy is not only expecting one, but he's challenging me to be smart enough to figure it out.  Genius.

No, I'm not in love, and truthfully I get the sense that we would probably just end up being friends, but you never know.  Practice makes perfect for MRS and I could use a little PG canoodle.

When I do crack the code, should I write back in Morse Code or is that too obvious?  I thought about writing back in Greek and making him figure it out.  I think I'm a dork at heart.

Happy loving for now!  Ooh, three followers...  I'm feeling cooler every day. : )


Footnote:  Should I go public with my blog? I don't mean pay for an ad in the local paper, but should I make it so people can see it if they stumble across something on Google?
