Julie stares at the blank ‘About Me’ box on her computer screen.
Her friend Doreen says a bio’s the lipstick and heels of a dating profile, helping you stand out from the virtual crowd. It must reflect one’s self!
So, Julie tries the old-school approach: mature female with GSOH, seeking companion for country walks.
Then, honesty: lonely widower, facing her fear of ‘getting out there.’
Next, emojis; her favourite quote; a list of quirky hobbies.
But nothing feels right. Nothing has since she lost Frederick.
In the end, Julie decides to leave the box empty, knowing the right person will understand.
Poignant – considerable emotional depth in a few sentences!
