Another email popped into my folder. I opened it and read the single line of text.

I've been told that I’m not hard on the eyes, if that’s what you mean…

My jaw dropped yet again when I opened the attachment.
It was a pic of his naked six-pack abdomen, which was amazingly washboard. I saw a very pronounced hip cleft and the start of a noticeably bulging package beneath some black Joe Boxer briefs.
I sent a text to his cell number, using my Lexi911 alias.

Lexi911: Phew… I worried that you were a skinny geek with thick glasses. I don’t send my photo to just anyone. We’ll have to meet in person. One question – what happened to your date?

His response came right away.

MBS69: Geek, yes. Glasses, yes, sometimes when I have to read fine print. Skinny, no. As to what happened to my date? Suffice to say that both our expectations were off. She broke the rules, and I’m nothing if not a stickler for rules, so the relationship was off as well.
* * *
Lexi911: You are a stickler for rules for your women? My kind of man.
* * *
"Heartless jerk…" I said.
* * *
MBS69: I do not lead anyone on about my expectations, and I expect the same from the women I become involved with. I have rules. She had the wrong idea about how willing I’d be to break them.
* * *
Lexi911: Let me guess… you wanted sex but no strings, and she wanted you to tie her up with a big knot but not in the fun way.
* * *
MBS69: Let me put it this way – our relationship did not move to the next level on my part, but it did on hers. My family was interfering and trying to push things, but it wasn’t working for me. So, I had to end it. That left me without a date on Saturday for this family dinner.

Lexi911: You could always go alone?
