I know some wondering single people who haven't met their soulmate and thought that my readers might know someone suitable. I've also never thought that personal ads written by the interested parties were a good idea. People who aren't funny think that they are funny. Dumb people think that they are smart. Nasty people think that they are kind. A personal ad should be written by someone with a little bit of distance. Please email me why you think you would be compatible with my friend and I will forward the message.

You might ask what qualifications I claim in the romance or matchmaking department. Several presently married couples met each other at parties at my apartment, though the introduction was not specific or intentional.
