All about email, Message Compass

(The Frisky) — I heart words and communication. This includes e-mails, text messages, Gchat, BlackBerry Messenger, iChat — the works. I am a sucker for a well-crafted e-mail or a witty text message. My motto: The way to my heart is through my brain.

Witty e-mails and text messages aren’t always signs of real-life chemistry, writer says.

That’s why I thought Joe could be Mr. Perfect for me. Joe and I met one night at a work gala. I had already put away an entire bottle of wine when I almost knocked him over on the dance floor.

“Do you like to dance, beautiful girl who almost stepped on my foot?” he asked.

“Only when I’m drunk. When I’m sober, I dance like Elaine from ‘Seinfeld,’ ” I replied.

It was a rainy October night and Joe offered to escort me to the subway when the event ended, impressed that I could: a) still walk and b) do it in 3-inch heels. “E-mail me,” I slurred, handing him my business card, “I loooove e-mails.” The Frisky: My dating disaster story

The next day at work, the misery of my hangover was interrupted when Joe sent me a long, witty, intellectually stimulating e-mail, complete with references to popular culture, long words spelled properly (so hot), anecdotes about his life, and plenty of questions about mine. Wait … what did he look like again?

The e-mails continued, getting more and more opus-like. He responded quickly — my number-one turn-on. Enough with that “hard-to-get” crap.

The Frisky: Could you get past hearing ‘I don’t love you anymore’?

Within a few days, he began sending me funny, random text messages along with the novella-esque e-mails:

I just passed the subway stop I walked you to the night we met. Good thing you didn’t incapacitate me by stepping on my foot. I want to see you dance like Elaine.

What’s your favorite kind of cupcake?

I just saw a man wearing a horse costume on Columbus. Ah … New York.

He even played along when a week later I told him that I was putting a ban on our e-mail communication because I wasn’t getting any work done. In response, he sent a handwritten letter to my office via courier asking me out for Saturday night. I was so overcome that I think I might have peed my pants. It was like this guy could read my mind. Finally, I would get to see him in person again! The Frisky: Real dating advice for the technological age

That Saturday night I walked into the fancy seafood restaurant ready to pick up our witty repartee right where it left off. As soon as we sat down across from each other, I felt my stomach drop. Something was very, very wrong. He was attractive enough, but I wasn’t attracted to him. Why? We had nothing to say to each other. I mean … nothing. How could this have happened?
