"I like your picture. I want you know"

The last time I posted I told you about the date that I had with a guy from an online friend-networking site. That website is Friendster. I joined back in November after hearing a lot about it from CK.

Not too long ago I updated my picture on there. I have not used the site for dating in the past, and under my profile where it notes what I'm looking for I have responded, "Friends and Activity Partners." Granted, "activity" could be interpreted loosely, but the intention was PG folks.

Anyhow. Ever since I changed my picture on there a few weeks ago, my shit has been blowing up. I have gotten tons of profile views and have been receiving smiles and emails from people from all over the world. The post title is taken from an email I received from a guy in Turkey. I have also had admirers from Singapore, India, Nigeria, and the Philippines. The guy from the Philippines was a real peach because his profile picture is of Bin Laden. No joke.

Tonight I received a smile from a guy in Boston who is looking for a third party to participate in relations with him and his gf. The other day I received an email from a guy who I actually went to college with (but didn't know) who saw me at the movies this year in Boston.

All this from just a picture change. I am stumped. I am mildly creeped out but mostly perplexed. It's just one picture.

I thought the date went well last week, but I have not heard from him since. I walked away from the date thinking that it was probably the best date that I have been on since I moved to Boston. He's rather cute, well read, a good conversationalist, polite, funny and dresses well. But am I getting messages from him? No...just some guy who wants my bod for threesomes and a Bin Laden follower.

Maybe if I change the picture again I'll get an email from the serial killer that I've been searching for all my life.
