Oh my GOSH! Earl wasn't upset by my blog! In fact, he sent me another match! Can you fucking believe it? HAAAA HAAA. Life is crazy. Now I'll have to continue my dumb story. Here's what Earl wrote:

Hi Michael, I received you 'date writings' and hear your disappointment. I have another match to send your way. I really like Rob and I hope you give him a chance and don't overeact to the photo. I am strongly encouraging everyone to meet at least twice before forming any impressions. I also suggest you approach this next date more casually and relaxed in terms of your appearance - less focus on clothes and your external self and instead focus more on contact, connection.... Hope you are open to this feedback. Regards, Earl.

Life is weirder than fiction!
