Your Dimension Or Mine?
right? Well, actually it is not. I live in the largest library in our largest city. We serve over a million residents of our fine hamlet. It is my job to make sure everything is up to date, so our fair citizens have access to all the newest information out there. I spend most of my day around books and technology devices, so unfortunately I do not get the time to date much.
    Which is why I joined the Interdimensional Dating Service. My brother met his mate here, and I figured I would give it a try. No harm in trying, right?
    You sound like a very interesting woman from your profile, not to mention, absolutely stunning, and I would love to learn more about you. You mention you love books. What are your favorites? From your neck of the woods, I prefer Aristotle and Shakespeare. They make me think, laugh, and think some more.
    Well, that is all I will say for now. I hope to hear back.

    “Wow, he actually sounds human,” she snickered. “What’s he doing on this website?” A feeling she could not describe started at her ankle and moved its way up her leg. It wasn’t unpleasant, though she did not think she could classify it as pleasant either. It just was.
    Figuring she might as well check out his profile so she could cross him and IDS off her list permanently, she clicked the link. To her surprise, it downloaded much faster than the others had, right after her screen flashed three times. She stared at the image on the screen for several minutes without moving. Her mind was having a hard time making sense of what she saw. Terrian looked…normal, in a strange sort of way.
    In the black and white photo, he had dark hair that came to his shoulders, dark eyes, and very angular features. His eyes looked directly into the camera and something about them made her heart skip a few beats and then take off as though it was in a race. He was sexy, there was no doubt, and yet compared to the others, he felt normal to her, even though something in the back of her head kept saying there was something off about his photo. Maybe it was the nice message he wrote that made him feel so normal.
    When she was finally able to tear her gaze away from his picture, she looked at his narrative, hoping against hope he wasn’t going to talk about war.
    Everyone has something to say on these things, but most of what could be said should be saved for a face-to-face meeting. So, I will give you an overview. I live a rather lonely life. My work and position make it so I cannot get out and just date, as much as I would prefer to be doing so. I come from a very large family and am the only unmated sibling left, much to my parents’ disapproval and my brothers’ amusement.
    For everyone there comes a time in their life where they are just ready to meet that special someone. I suppose I have finally reached that time. Ask yourself the following questions. If your answers are yes, I look forward to getting to know you.

    Q1. Can you handle stress well?
    Q2. Do you enjoy silence?
    Q3. Do you feel as though magic surrounds us all, coming out at the strangest times to make us notice?
    Q4. Do you like me so far? *wink*
    Laughing in delight at his friendly profile, Ari bounced softly in her seat. Finally, here was a possibility! He sounded nice and had a great sense of humor not to mention his picture was attractively normal. Sitting up straight, she minimized the profile and went back to his message, clicking the link to reply.
    Terrian,
    Thanks so much for your message. Yours is the first one I have received that did not make me shudder. I have no issues with you living in a library as so do I. I prefer to spend my time around books. They are non-judgmental…well most of the time. Ha ha.
    Aristotle and Shakespeare. Interesting duo. Can you imagine those two standing toe-to-toe having a discussion? Something tells me Aristotle would get annoyed first, if he did not try to come on to Shakespeare that is.
    Your life sounds as lonely as mine. I
