If you like adventure you will like Match.com, But many of them you won’t want to take home to meet your Mom. Each guy you see is a brand new slate. It's like an interview, looking for a potential soulmate. Some dates have a good sense of humor and seem great, Then some on the first date have been real cheapskates! I’ve had some dates that I could not wait to leave, As they whined about their ex, wearing their heart on their sleeve. One professor met me on the first date with roses, and was so sweet. But I discovered he had a love for his drink, and I couldn’t compete. There have been school administrators, men in business, and sales, Some that seem very easy-going, and some as tough as nails. One of the most interesting by far was a farmer… Living a country life with his animals, he was a real charmer. There are many shysters on match too, pretending to be single, But married… and just looking to intermingle. There are those that are looking for money that are crooks, That will wine you and dine you with their good looks. To protect yourself, get a background report before you date, Then you don’t have to wonder if you will meet an inauspicious fate.
