Go On And Fool Me
So I signed up for a ridiculous amount of online dating sites. All with the screenname “wwwAdventurePAUL” or something similar. I did it for exposure and to build traffic to my new site. Alternatively if someone clicked on one of my links and signed up for online dating from AdventurePAUL.com, I would make a few bucks.
Last year in Raleigh I legitimately signed up for online dating and I think I found the prettiest girls on OKCupid at the time. I went on a few dates and made a couple new friends, but that’s all the experience amounted to.
Well the other day I wrote a girl a message who lives in Asheville but I haven’t heard back from her. I’m wondering if she didn’t understand I was being fatuous or maybe she hasn’t read it yet. Either way–I wanted to share the message I sent. In the comments below, see if you can tell me where all my “pick up lines” came from. I think I did a good job of putting them all together fluidly.
Dear Burning Seraphim…
Hi I’m Paul.
I messaged you tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Take love, multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever… And you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you. This kind of certainty comes, but once in a lifetime.
I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you. I guarantee there’ll be tough times; I guarantee that at some point, one, or both of us is gonna wanna get out of this thing; But I also guarantee, that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life… because I know in my heart, that you’re the only one for me.
A name makes no matter to me, as long as I can call you my own. If I want to share the rest of my life with you, I’ve got to ask you now.
This is true love. Do you think this happens everyday?
You had me at ‘hella cool.’
~ADVENTURE PAUL
Well, the last line is easy. We’ve all seen Jerry McGuire or heard a spin off of that catch phrase. But where did the rest of them come from?
If you got that message from someone, what would you think?
