All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

It doesn't hurt to keep a resume out there, even when you currently have a temp job. So, I do have profiles on two online dating sites.
I got this a few days ago:
Subject: DATE MEDon't know what that "marry man" means. His profile says single, never married. No photo. Sounds like a nice guy, but bit clueless, and absolutely not my type. He also sounds like he could get too involved too soon and turn into a stalker.
Hello,

Sigh.
I've found that when one gets notes like this, one must NOT reply. A gentle negative citing distance or diverging interests or current commitment will get you a barrage of sales pitches. They seem to think they can convince you to give them a chance, that they can fix whatever the problem is. That, or you get a nastygram back, calling into question your motives and virtue. So, since I hesitate to say "I don't think we can have an interesting conversation, and your ardor scares me", he gets no reply.

I'm not on any of the sites anymore. The classic was from a guy who said, "Gee, I must have really been high when I wrote that". And meant it. Ten years ago, that had to have been.
I'm taking my toys and staying home, thank you.
