It is cliche to say that my life is too busy to find a quality boyfriend. It is equally corny to complain about the number of hours you work, or the type of guys you meet at bars. Even though I spend time working out and am proud of the way I look, at some point I ran out of energy to get dolled up every time I wanted to find some male companionship. So I did what all desperate people do; I turned to the Internet. There are many online dating sites, but I am cheap. I found one that didn't cost anything and decided to post a brief biography, a few of the things I desired in a partner, and a cute picture. I did not post a provocative photo, but you could tell I cared about the way I looked. Then I went to bed for the night. When I woke up and logged onto the dating site I had 50 replies. I quickly eliminated most of them. I was not going to spend time communicating with anyone who was too old, didn't have the guts to post a picture, or was overly religious. I liked what I saw in a guy named Joe. He seemed to be from the same mind set I was in. He was successful, well groomed, and fed up with meeting people at midnight and expecting an actual relationship to develop from it. I also appreciated that he didn't shy away from who he really was. He said in the biography that he wore a hearing aid, and while it wasn't so noticeable that it stuck out in the photo, indeed it was present. After we emailed back and forth a few times we decided to meet for happy hour on a Thursday. We really enjoyed each other's company. After we had been talking for more than an hour I giggled and said I had to ask an embarrassing question. I told him that I appreciated how honest he seemed in his post, and that he wasn't some creepy dude with a 10 year old photo in his biography. However, I thought he wore a hearing aid and it didn't seem to be on now. I asked if it was something he only sometimes wore. He laughed, and pulled a hearing aid out of his right ear. I had no idea how small and well they could blend in to someone's body. Once he took it out and put it back in again I noticed it being there, but before he removed it I couldn't even detect it. He told me that it was really traumatic when he got the hearing aid as a teenager. He had lost his ability to hear perfectly because of a series of events that involved very loud blasts in close range. He had resisted a hearing aid until he recognized that he was missing basic communication on a regular basis. After realizing you could get a device that was small, fit perfectly, and immediately rectified the problem, he decided to go for it. I don't know if Joe and I are going to be a couple, but I do know that I appreciate his honesty. Also, he's a really good kisser.
