Oh "You're the No Picture Couple!"

At the social last night we being our usual friendly selves approaching random couples. We weren't approaching as many because we were trying to focus more on couples that we thought there might actually be a match with rather than just being friendly and approaching everyone. Most couples are friendly with this approach and some not so much. We approached one attractive couple that we spoke to for less than 60 seconds because they just seemed like they wanted us to go away (no smile, no nicety, nothing). You never know what you'll encounter when you just approach people, but we keep doing it. So, we approached this really hot couple with no expectations only to have them say "we've been talking to you guys." "you have?" "yeah we msged you earlier in the week....." My mind is running in circles trying to figure this out... we've been talking to a couple this hot and I don't remember it? Then it dawns on me "You're the no picture couple!?" And so they were. They are brand new and thanks to all the issues with getting pics posted on SLS they'd not been able to get one loaded yet. "Wow. You guys are much more attractive than your pictures!".

 

It's in our profile... don't bother if you don't have pictures. But, they'd messaged us about going to the party. I'd been pleasant in my response but not overly friendly. My feeling was if they were going to the party we'd see them there. My response was something along the lines of "well, if you see us please say hello.". I didn't even know if they'd show up since they were signed up to attend two different parties the same night.

 

So... I guess sometimes you shouldn't judge a book by the lack of a cover.

Good show! Like you, we rarely respond encouragingly to a message sent from a profile that has no picture. But I must quickly add that two of the most enjoyable people we have ever met started their communication just this way. Yinz just never know.

I probably would've responded the same to their email, as we like to at least have a peek at the folks with whom we're chatting . . . Glad it worked out, though!

Sometimes in life you do hit on the inside straight, but that doesn't mean it was a wise choice playing for it.

Well, sadly we've not heard from this couple again since the party. I messaged them after the party with our contact details hoping to set something up and no response. Sent again a week or so later, just in case the message got lost in the SLS ether.. no response. They had also won a free pass to tonight's party - which they are not signed up to attend.

 

I'm going to tell myself that our gut response to not play with them on that first night since they were so new, was a correct response, and that they've perhaps decided that they aren't quite ready for this. (IOW, I'm telling myself it's not us it's them).

Hell yeah it's them. It's always them. :)

 

Sounds like you did make the right choice that first night. On to the next potential couple!
