My mind immediately started racing towards thoughts of a prospective wedding, pre-nupital agreements and whether or not we'd start a family with children or, rather, with cats (I understand that litter training cats is easier and less stressful than potty training kids so I favour the cats option). I tend to be a quick mover and don't really do all the flirting and dating stuff as I'd rather watch baseball.


And then I looked at the comment again. I had misread it as "adorable" when it actually said "adorkable". In a second, my ego and vanity was crushed. I had always hoped to be some sort of sex idol or such like .... but, in fact, I'm incredibly dorkish. That's surprising as, whilst I'm socially inept, I can't even properly work my iPhone.


That said, I'll need to try to use this dorkish image to my advantage i.e. if I meet a really nice femme, I can now try to chat her up by saying that, although I mightn't be great in bed, I'd be happy to try to fix her hard drive. Anyone think that could work?

Never underestimate the power of dorkishness!
