Dating Observer

I am sitting at a bar in suburban Las Vegas, next to an potential couple who are going through the "Meet and Greet" process of online dating. I have been invited into the conversation on a couple of occassions now, which has been humorous to say the least. They are both particularly interested once they found out that I am not only participant in the technology, but a successful participant considering how Nancy and I are enjoying the heck out of life.

The interviewing process is hilarious to say the least. And since the age group is not that far from my own, and they keep turning to me every time one or the other goes to the bathroom with questions about how I think it's going.

I have to admit that I am having a difficult time not laughing at the entire situation, but more than ever it feeds my desire to create a sitcom about online dating...... or at least an hilarious book....

She is a slot machine salesperson.....he is a fireman....she is funny, cute, and divorced a year ago. He is handsome (not nearly as much as I), drops too many F bombs, and "seperated" - which elicited the requisite "WHAT?" from Sandy. Thought that was a deal breaker, but she is letting him recover....

Perhaps Vegas is the perfect location for the sitcom....

The new Love American Style..... :)
