The setting: My usual coffee meet 'n' greet. Met him on Tinder, and refreshingly, after the second text, he suggested we meet for coffee. He wasn't a troll. Maybe a bit of a paunch,
but had hair, which is a remarkable feature for the over-40 male set. The most
interesting thing about him was that he volunteered for Search and Rescue. Now,
one would think there would be endless tales of bicep bulging close calls. Nope. Nadda. The most engaging stories involved finding lost
hikers and trail runners that wandered too late into the day on a Gorge hike
and then were resorting to carefully feeling their way back down the trail
while their anxious loved one (who wisely returned to the trail head when the
sun showed signs of setting) called 911. These stories also revealed that the
only hiking he did was on these rescues. Not a good fit. When he was telling me
how much more in shape his teammates were, I was tempted to ask, "Do you
have THEIR number?"
This coffee klatch of two ended when I said I had another "thing" to go to and needed to leave, which he then asked if it was another date. "Well, um, yeah." <smiling sheepishly> Anyway, he wanted to meet again, "Blah, blah, message me on Tinder."
Points deducted:
- A deduction of 20 points for constantly winking at me to the point that I wanted to ask him if he had something in his eye and did he need to borrow my mirror to get it out.
- A deduction of 20 points for touching me more often than was comfortable or recommended. I foresaw future dates filled with me constantly pushing him off of me and telling him to get his hand out of there.
- A deduction of 20 points for having an occupation that really couldn't be elaborated on. He sorted grain at the ports. Yeah. I got nothin'.
- A deduction of 10 points for giving up interests that would have given him a little more personality: collecting and riding vintage motorcycles.

Great article! You have lifted my spirits! I also often get to these dating sites. I have a lot of work and therefore have to get acquainted in this way. In general, I like to chat online with people https://deepinlove.date/. So we get to know each other and if our interests coincide, then we go to personal meetings. This is a very interesting experience in dealing with different people.
