My One Date Last Year Turned Into a Nightmare: the Lesson I Learned
And what a ride it was
Last year, I signed up with an online dating app for Seniors.
It was a fun learning experience. I figured out how to swipe left, swipe right, clap, smile, connect up, have an excellent time, break up, move on, all the exciting things associated with getting out there again.
It's been a few years since my wife passed. I figured it was time to stretch my arms and get social again.
After a few days of being online, I connected with a lady named Lorem Ipsum. She was a friendly companion but didn't say much.
It turns out she communicates in a written language nobody understands. I think she's famous because she has a website and most of my writing friends know about her: https://loremipsum.io/
She comes from a family of placeholders. Her brother Dolor Sit is famous for nothing. Her mother goes by one name Ament. Her father is a very conservative man whose name is Consectetur Adipiscing. They call their cat Elit.
Families like this drive 23andMe crazy. Their family tree looks like this: Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. That is what you get when you're part of a family of meaningless words.
