Today I received a 'nudge' via eHarmony. Apparently one of the men who'd initiated communication with me last week (who I'd responded to over their bank holiday weekend of free communication) was getting impatient that I'd not taken the next step and was reminding me that he existed...
A nudge is something I'd associate with a friendly game - the kind of thing one sends when you've got a really good rack of letters in an online scrabble game and want your opponent to make their move so that you can play yours and gloat. I'm well-aware of who I'm currently communicating with online (they handily give me a whole communicating tab on my matches for this purpose!) and I'm taking my time, thank-you very much.
Reappraising myself with his profile I remembered that this is Mr Scuba Diver. Someone who mentions spending time under-water in 5 separate sections of their profile (especially one that's partially computer generated) may not be suited to love on dry land.
This also leads me to a recent wondering: have I over-emphasised my liking of physical fitness in setting up my profile? Almost every guy I've been matched with is incredibly sporty - as in, into multiple sports on a very committed level. I know my gym visits are important to me and yes, I object to things that clash with my Monday evening pilates class, but have they misinterpreted this enthusiasm for genuine talent? It's like my year 10 Morrisby profile all over again - where ticking yes to the question "would you like to be a sports star" resulted in PE teacher being suggested as a career option. There's a big difference between sitting on the sofa watching Wimbledon, imagining winning the final and actually being good at sport!
