Week Six - Tuesday - long term task

Since yesterday morning I have received 39 messages, 59 winks and my profile has been viewed over 900 times. It's all a bit overwhelming and I feel like I can't keep up. I spent a bit of time online last night, replying to all the messages, even the ones where I'm just saying "thanks but no thanks". It's ridiculous, but I don't want to be mean to anyone and as much as I'd like to tell someone off for not reading my profile properly I'm just too damn nice to follow through. I've given up on keeping up with the winks though, I just look for the ones from single girls and check those. They all tend to be trial members so it's up to me to send them a message, of course I've used up my 4 message quota for the day already! I am seriously considering upgrading to get 8 per day. Yikes!

So far my best lead has been a very well written profile from a 27 yr old girl who's in an open relationship also. We seem to have a lot of the same ideas about the kind of thing we're looking for, and she writes very nicely and intelligently. Her profile was without photos, which is sometimes suspect (boys pretending to be girls are common) but she came across so well I knew she was genuine. We've been trading messages and it looks like we'll meet for a coffee tomorrow. Tomorrow! So soon, I can barely get my head around it. We'll have to see what happens, but for the moment things are looking optimistic. Time to make new friends!

As I was typing that last sentence, my phone rang. I gave my number to a young lady this morning after a wink and some messages - she just called me then! It's a flood! We're going to meet up next Tuesday. Not sure where yet, I didn't recognise the name of her suburb so I'll have to figure it out. Yipe.

Oh, silly message of the day (from another boy): "did i ever tell you about the time i once ate 7kg of watermelon in a single sitting?" As much as I want to discourage boys from msging me, that was damn funny!
