Besides e-mailing someone directly, my dating site has the option of putting someone on a 'hotlist' or sending them a virtual 'wink' to express their interest. I have a hard time keeping track of all the winks and hotlists that I've been put on (have I mentioned I've had over 550 viewings??) and it seems so overwhelming to go through the list.....when I'm SOBER. Apparently, it's super fun when I'm three sheets...and I have been reciprocating those actions with some winks of my own. I guess for those more passive guys that didn't want to send an e-mail to introduce themselves, this opens the door for one. You know what they say about beer goggles....I think it's even worse over the computer because people can craft whoever they want to be, the best versions of themselves if themselves at ALL. That's when that blurry guy with the handlebar mustache who's into dark Japanese animation and Morrocan food doesn't look half that bad. Wrong. He's a freak and if I were sober, I would have spotted that right away. I didn't just do it once...I soon learned.
I had an epic night of drunk winking a few nights ago. And, Voila. I wake up to 20 e-mails the next morning. And these were all from guys that thought I was making some moves so they were totally justified. Sorry guys! No more drunk winking for me. Otherwise I'll have some very confused and frustrated men rallying to crown me the biggest internet tease in history. I don't really want that title, thank you very much.
