Got an email from an HB7 on OKCupid today, and arranged an IM chat. Total conversation went for about 15 minutes. Here's roughly the first half. Would love to hear what you think, good points and bad. I'll save my comments until after I've gotten some feedback from you guys.


me: Howdy

HB7: hiya

me: It says you are busy, but I thought I'd nose my way in since I only have a little bit

HB7: i actually always have "busy" up on gchat when im at work

me: Ahh, fooling around at the office eh?

HB7: haha yeah, although i am actually really lucky in that i love my job

me: Indeed, that is fortunate. Love it so much you goof off chatting with handsome gentlemen

HB7: alright, since ur time is limited- we should probably get to the important questions

me: Hah. Alright, hit me

HB7: 1) what super power would you choose to have and why? 2) favorite color 3) ummmmm something random fact

me: Are those in order of importance?

HB7: the 2nd is the most important

me: Green

HB7: oh gosh. this will never work

me: Ah well, at least we got it over with. Have a nice life.

HB7: haha - thanks u too! i was really hoping you would say something sparkly...

me: What, like Lavender?

HB7: no, like hot pink with sparkles

me: You need a gay boyfriend.

HB7: haha

me: they're awesome - they'll take you shopping and dancing. I insist that every girl I date have one

HB7: lol. thats very selfless of u

me: I can even set you up. I know a number of nice gentlemen who can fit the bill.

HB7: excellent unfortunately i dont have any gay boyfriends :( ive been looking tho

me: Well we'll work on that

HB7: i think where i went to school was too conservative

me: what's YOUR favorite color?

HB7: pink with sparkles or clear either or

me: clear's not a color

HB7: sure it is

me: neither is anything involving "sparkles"

HB7: i disagree. i also like rainbow haha of course i am completely kidding

me: Bah. Cheater. Q: What's your favorite color? A: Yes.

HB7: real favorite color- maybe purple i like that response its sensible

me: Alright, tell me 3 adjectives about the color purple that describe why you like it

HB7: royal ummmm gay men? aaaaaaaand grapes? gosh that was hard i think i failed my interview :(

me: Hm. Supposedly those adjectives are how you subconsciously view yourself

HB7: lol

me: So apparently you're a gay princess

HB7: the first two are true. omg u can feed me grapes! perfect

me: I'll pass. You can feed them to me, though. I prefer mine peeled.

HB7: fair enough

Will include the rest of the conversation later if desired.
