I had just begun to dabble in online dating when I came across her profile on OkCupid. Although she was geographically undesirable, I wasn’t going to let that deter me. Even though my sample size was small, I had done enough dating to realize that meeting the right person would not be easy: My early naiveté about how easy online dating would be had quickly given way to reality. “I’m going to let you let me go.” Just like that, it was over. During our conversation, I had mentioned briefly that my children were going to be in town in the coming weeks.
