Match 1, Tobias 0
Okay, this is going well. Honest.
So far I have sent a dozen emails that I must have spent a combined 4 hours on, and winked at another 2 dozen ladies. (A wink is Match's way of letting you say hey, I am interested, without putting a lot of time in someone who may not be interested back) I have had around 12 winks from folks other than those I have written and winked, and one mutual wink. The one mutual of course was one I followed up with an email, which I think proceeded to sink me.;) I received one email in response to one of mine, but she was the cool girl who wasn't interested.
I must be putting off quantic anti-pheremone particles or something, but I shall persevere!
Two odd things I have noticed. The first is the inclination of women from foreign countries to wink at me; I have had one from San Paolo, Brazil, one from Guada-something, Mexico, and although not foreign, I had one from Florida this morning. Now, I am not beyond have a long-distance dating relationship with someone from 5000 miles away, but the least they could do is write.
Second, Match has totally messed html blocks. Does anyone know the code for 'carriage return?' The reason being, I spaced my whole get to know me speech out nicely...you know, in paragraphs (Those are those things Gibb told you about Saint). Of course, Match just goes and jumbles everything together. Why not make it harder on everyone to get through 2000 characters of vulnerability? Joy!
Anyone with any hints on my profile, please let me know. They don't have to be nice, but they do need to be constructive. (Email is fine, unless you just feel the need to embarrass me in public!) I am trying to get my Cali connection to give me some ideas, he has skillz.
Update: Hmm, not sure why my link isn't working, maybe some cookies are playing around on my machine to make them work for me. Trying going here, my username is tbiaslorin.
Update 2: Forgot to mention the most annoying thing of all, they won't let me use any URL's in my profile...so much for some more publicity!

Wink and winks back?.....what the hell is THAT!!!
Maybe you should have me type your responses and then it will jumble up and look great. Also the link in your post doesn't seem to be working. Tlorin, although i admire your perseverance i believe all this winking is an exercise in futility or your gonna be a candidate for lasik surgery from all the winks...Saint7

Lol=) Yes, I will be. They could use the Hooters logo for their site, it would probably be accurate in more ways than one.;)

I don't know if this will help, but I liked the profile, it was very honest and sweet. Maybe you can just make huge spaces so it flows onto the next line.
And being a cute girl, I think you should most definitely put the car picture with you on that profile, if you haven't already. ;)

*Smiles* Greetings! Thank you for your advice; I had included one with my car, but I think the one here is probably better than the one I used, so I will switch up this evening when I get home.
Everyone always talks about the bad guy syndrome, and I wasn't sure if that was the route I should have gone, so I appreciate your comments. If I was looking for a few dates as opposed to someone to date, I probably would have written it differently.
Thanks for dropping by!

To give you an idea, if I wasn't with someone, I'd go for you ;)
