I really enjoy the “see who’s viewed you” section on Match.com. I get to see the guys whom I’ve emailed and haven’t heard back from, so I know they’re not interested. I get to see which old guys wish they had a chance, and that Mr. Fig Newton is stalking me. Oh, that’s right, just when you thought he had disappeared. For Mr. Fig Newton back story, click here.
For those of you unfamiliar with Match.com’s set-up, you receive “daily matches” that are computer calculated hand selected just for you. Within each of those selections, there is one member who is “Singled Out” for you per day. No lie, the day after my last Mr. Fig Newton post he was “singled out” for me. Come on Match, let’s tweak that system.
Anyway, you have an interest option of clicking “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” No doubt, I clicked “no” to Mr. Fig Newton. However, about a week after that post I got an email telling me someone was interested, which is what happens when someone clicks “yes.” I wasn’t exactly smiling at this news when I saw Mr. Fig Newton’s screename attached to the email. And not only did he click “yes,” but he also sent an email to follow that act.
This is what he wrote:
Hey sweetie. Match seems to keep putting you up as my daily match. And I see that you’re still actively involved on this site. So, I’m guessing you’ve still got your options open. I’m just saying, if Match thinks we’re a match, maybe we owe it to ourselves to find out if that’s true.
This explains why I kept seeing him in my who’s viewed me section. You can see the person’s activity date and how frequently they’re online. He was obviously checking in to see how often I logged in. I did not respond to this moronocity, which did not stop him from stalking my profile yet again a few days later. Dude, it’s not gonna happen. I’ve already done the research…we – aren’t – a – match.
