Dating Site-8

Nora Linton sat alone, drinking coffee. She turned on the computer to check her email and there was a message from Perfect Partner.

She was about to delete it unread, when for the hell of it, she clicked on the hypertext.

“You have a message!” it proclaimed, and before she could log out it flashed;

“Sorry to have scared you last night.I’d just come in from one of many bad dates. I won’t torment you with details, save I began to flirt with celibacy.  I logged on to a message board to  communicate with intelligent life when I saw the banner ad and thought, why not? 

I entered what I wanted, which was an intelligent, serious woman with a sense of humour, who can appreciate a man who is generous without trying to  rip him off, and within seconds, your code appeared.

I know you as J7576.

I never got your name or any particulars. When you suggested  Peppers, a place I  use to meet blind dates, I thought I was dreaming. 

I suppose I ought not have suggested we meet, as I guess I sounded desperate.

I’m very sorry.”

Nora was in shock.

She couldn’t believe anyone could so mirror her experiences and attitudes.

Who was this man?
