| While surfing through the online personals, you find an ad that describes your dream date. S/he has beauty, brains, a beach house on Malibu, and a passion for everything from rollerblading to Rigoletto. Best of all, s/he's single. Do you skip to the next ad? People like this don't exist, and, if they did, they'd have better things to do than go out with you. Or do you reply to the ad with a frank, fun, well-written note of your own, explaining why you think the two of you would hit it off? |
