Hello Beautiful Angel

Yes, that was the subject of an email from a guy on Match.com that I received today. Here it is in its entirety:

OMG Did anybody tell you that you are one of the most beautiful women in MATCH personals? I bet if they elected Miss match 2009, she has to be you! Your smile lightened my whole heart when I looked at your picture. It must be raining when you were born, because God was crying for losing his most beautiful angel.How long have you been living on earth? ,When do you have to be back in heaven?as i said on my profile,I am looking for a good woman in my life. Someone that I can trust to be who they say they are at all times. I prefer a woman that enjoys wearing her jeans and a t-shirt,but doesn't mind getting dressed up every once in awhile for a night out on the town. I'm not into drama and playing games with people's feelings. I would like someone that will love and respect me for who I am, that likes to hold my hand and surprize me with a little kiss when I least expect it,or give me a wink from across the room to let me know she's thinking about me,or bring me flowers, or give me a call just to let me know she's thinking about me... Because I will be doing the same. I would love someone who is fun to be around, likes to laugh, joke around, enjoy being outdoors going for long romantic walks, enjoys looking at the stars at night, and watching the sun set and rise over the ocean. I am looking for someone that enjoys the simple things in life, just as I do. I would like to meet someone special that I can grow old with, and that we can always look into each other's eyes and know that the love between us is just as wonderful and exciting as the day we met. I want to love a woman for who she is, to spoil her, and love her, and let her know just how much she means to me, by the little things I do or say to make him feel special. While at the same time she treats me in the same way....with love and respect.... I lost my wife some couple of years back. I live life to the fullest, trying as much as possible to help myself and help make a better career for myself and my son future. I never had it in mind that I was going to see an image of someone like you on a dating site or even thought about it, but had always hoped that definitely someday I will get another woman to love and start a better life again, making her my one and only and together we could build our future so great and well. I don't really believe on this internet sites not until a friend of mine asked me to join this site and my first search for someone, was how I came across your profile, you were so pretty and irresistible and I couldn’t get your image off my mind so I was forced to write you and ask if I could know you. It’s a New Year and sure we could meet! I might be somehow far away but I believe we could make thing work if we get to know each other so well with time and I could visit you if you want me to. I will be expecting to hear from you soonest. I bet you are so beautiful! Have a nice time and great day, really do wish you well, If you don’t mind, you can get back to me via my email (nelson2----) at aol dot com at the end of my e-mail i have zero in number and not in word okay or add me on yahoo messager ,here's my ID nelson2---- .i am online right now if you care to chat with me to know me more fine ,feel free .because i am geting off match soon I’ll be glad to read from you soon....Nelson

How does one respond this this? All this emotion based on what I look like. Its a little disconcerting. His profile seems so normal.

So this is Week 2. No dates this week, so I'm falling behind. I do have a date set up for next Wednesday though. Kathleen texted me last week, saying:

"Met a nice guy @ campbell apt. Got his card 4 u. Finance. Had Paul Stuart bag. Yankees fan. Funny"

I contacted him via email, he sent me his number, we talked on the phone last night and set a date for next Wednesday. He had suggested Tuesday, but, well its Inauguration Day! I already had plans. Luckily he was equally happy that it means the end of the current administration, so that was a relief (you never know with these finance guys. Could be Republican). Update on that next week.

Other possibilities? Shana's got something in the works for me, and there is the Music for the Mountains benefit this Thursday. I also changed my profile on Nerve. The subject line reads, "Help me win a trip to Prague!"
