Hi, I always wondered if there were unspoken rules about acknowledging your mutual profiles on Match.com with someone you sort of know. I’ve been curious to compare notes and hear what it was like from a woman’s viewpoint. What do you think?
~ Kevin
It took me a few seconds to realize who this Kevin was when I read his message. At first I didn’t recognize him from his photograph, but then I realized he was the clerk from Captain Video, my local video store. An avid movie buff, I had been a frequent customer since it opened.
However, it was more than its good selection of videos that I liked about Captain Video. For seven years, I had harbored a huge crush on Kevin, the boyish man with twinkly eyes behind the counter.
You can learn a lot by observing someone for that long. I noticed how witty he was when bantering with co-workers and other customers. I loved the turn of Southern phrases he used like “dumb as a box of hair.” And I loved his excellent taste in videos. He watched a lot of indie art house movies and I relied on him for recommendations.
