The Creepy Voice


One nice thing about a first date with someone you met on www.eharmony.com is that you absolutely have something to talk about. Imagine the scene. You meet, sit for that drink or for dinner or for coffee. Things are moving along, and then the conversation hits a rough patch. You slide into the first awkward pause. He’s your chance. Laugh. Laugh loud and hard and then hook your date in. Ask him to close his eyes and recall the awful grating creepy voice of Dr. Neil Clark Warren. Oh the willies. I get the willies. Your date will laugh. Well, he might get willies, but he’ll probably laugh. It’s hard not to laugh when you are sitting across from someone who is completely out of control laughing and it’s just plain fun. Don’t think. Try not to think. If you do, you might halt the laughing. Of course it will dwindle. It always does. But now you have this nice experience with someone and the ice is broken, and hell…you just laughed.

When I finished the amazingly long questionnaire for Eharmony I got that wasabi kick in the face feeling.

I hate those freaking commercials!!! I tried it a couple times. And I'm off it now - but I see those commercials and they were made for me - because i get suckered right in. I think - ohhhh... maybe this time it will be different!

Although I did a lot of research on online dating industry, his name slipped by... or I just forgot.
So, again, I had to do a little Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Clark_Warren

In the research, again, I did the whole eharmony thing, but, again, picture is picture and I cannot get sucked in to pay, I am not a payer :-)

They do sucker you in. Now they have stuff for married people too. But it was a good idea, to approach it more like a project and put some serious effort into finding the right one. I tried it when it first came out and I couldn't see anyone's photo. It was awful. I dont think Dr. Neil Clark Warren is on the site anymore. Maybe they wised up. He definately doesn't put anyone in the mood.
