Now that I’m on Match.com I’ve had 500 hits of interest this weekend – Lots of people must be looking for LOVE!

This is only my first weekend on line and I’m already overwhelmed… how do we who are looking for love online go through this much traffic – and it’s just on one site.

Many people i know have advised me to be one more than one site at a time – for the variety – but I can’t imagine how they can find the time to sift through it all.

One thing’s for sure…navigating this dating site has become kind of addictive – and I find myself sitting in front of my screen into all hours of the night – and I know I’m not alone, because I’m getting winked at while I’m here.

You may not know what an online winker is…

It’s one of the methods of initial contact on this site, Match.com.

My grandmother always told me never trust people who wink. She felt it was disrespectful and the sign of a insincere person. She did’nt like winkers, I don’t like winkers – So why in the world would I ever respond to that as a compliment or a first approach online….. Winker – you’re voted off my island.

Hard to believe I’m on a site that encourages winking, yet here I am.

I think I will write to the company to suggest another means of initiating contact. The control freak brand marketed in me wants to change the world! To me, anything would be better than winking! An image of a handshake – or a animated wave or hello graphics or heck, even a hallmark designed heart – would be an improvement.

I should file a “CLASSY” action suit for all the wannabe lovers who like me, don’t want to be winked at! Do any of you hopeful romantics out there, have a suggestion to submit?
