Dec. 20, 2003: The kid issue, again

When you wake up Saturday morning and find 58 emails in your Inbox, you assume it's all spam, especially when you didn't sign off the night before until 6pm. And yet, I've received communication from Christopher. I fully expected that I wouldn't hear from him again after he scanned my must-haves and can't-stands and was reminded about my stance on children. But, no—he's moved us to the next level. So now I have to question him about this in the short-answer question section:

"Hi, Christopher—I was surprised to hear from you again, considering you want to have children, while I don't. Is that not a deal-breaker for you?"

In his short-answer questions to me, he asks what I'm most proud of in my life, to describe an interest I hope my partner would share, and what I'm looking for in a partner. Do I have the energy to respond right now? I suppose. I'm not going to pour too much into this, what with the kid issue looming. On the other hand, it would be nice to actually meet someone through EH, even if it doesn't work out in the end. Well, I can cut and paste answers to the questions he posed, so I've found a happy medium for this dilemma.

It's the weekend, so naturally I find myself revising my Match profile again. I'm taking a radical approach this time—I'm being completely forthright, not trying to hide anything. If a guy doesn't like me, to hell with him. Great attitude, ay?
