Match.com: The Log-in Game

As a savvy veteran of the Match.com world, I've learned many a difficult lesson about women who over-share, those who post old photos and etiquette about how to treat a one-night stand (always offer to buy her breakfast....I'm old-fashioned like that.)

But lately there is one I just started paying attention to: The Log-in Game. Let me explain:

Let's say you're seeing someone but you're in that weird/in-between zone (dates four through six) where you're cool and have no interest in dating anyone else but neither is saying if you're only dating one another.  You think you are but...well, no one has brought it up, likely out of fear of being weird about it. So with this paranoia firmly in place, you occasionally log onto Match.com and click their profile...and see that they've been on within the hour. Hmm...

From here, there are a few moves:

1) Douche Move: "I saw you're getting on Match, what's up? Are you talking to other guys?"
-This seems to work really well for the insecure ass-clowns. Not my speed.

2) Cool Guy Move: "So, umm, we're cool and all, but are we cool?"
-This isn't an awful move but eye contact and the tone of your voice are key. She'll either know that you're asking about your mutual status...or assume you're trying to buy weed from her.

3) No Move: No insertion of hilarious, cleaver, witty fake quote here. Nope. Just don't say shit.


No answers to this one for me yet...Unless...

What if she's getting on Match to see if I'm getting on Match?

Wow, man...that shit was deep. Maybe I should see if she will sell me some of that weed after all...
