Just got a message from a new guy and all it said was "bababooey." I know that's a Howard Stern reference (right?) but WTH? What does that mean in terms of online dating? Is it a test to see if I know what it means? Is it a secret code and I'm at a loss because I don't know the secret code word response? Like, he says MARCO and I'm supposed to say POLO but this is a game I've never played before and oh.my.god.this.online.dating.sucks. I just wrote him back and (lied) told him, "I don't know what that means." I just turned into Dr. Temperance Brennan.
I also received another message from a 26 year old (I'll be 40 this year) whose profile says he "isn't seeking a relationship or any kind of commitment." Then why are you on a dating site? Oh right, booty calls. Um, thanks but no thanks. My profile clearly says I'm looking "for a relationship" (I thought "dating" sounded too casual, like, let's date each other and have sex on Friday nights while I date someone else and have sex with them on Saturday nights). The point being, we're not looking for the same things so why even bother? Then again, my friends like to joke that I'm a cougar... Cue ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know."
