Good News
Sure, there's my upcoming book, the E-Cyrano partnerships in development, a fancy new home page redesign, my amazing girlfriend, and the fact that Duke is still alive in the Tournament, but what's really floating my boat these days is that my clients are pairing up like rabbits. These three emails have all arrived in the last week and I couldn't be happier:
Evan,
I believe it works! I've met a great guy already...after about 6 dates...I'm in Colorado skiing this week and my new "friend' is making reservations to great events for us!

Hi Evan
You worked with me on my profile (11/04). Anyway, I met someone last March, '05 and we have been dating exclusively since then. When his divorce is final, I think we will be making a long term commitment formally....

Hi Evan,
Just thought I'd send you a quick note to let you know that your stuff works. You reworked my profile back in March of 2004 and I have gotten lots of positive comments on it by women.
Anyway, there was a girl I wanted to write to. Since she had that blah profile of generalities that everyone else has, I started to write her the same email that everyone else would send: how I'm close to my family and love my career and it sounds like we have lots in common. But taking the advice of your of your recent newsletter, I sent her a short, silly, made-up email.
Frankly, I doubted your system since it didn't convey any "actual" interest in the other person as much as just an odd comment. Apparently though, it works, because she immediately wrote back! We've already exchanged several emails, and while I don't know that it is going to go anywhere, I was pleasantly surprised at how well that little humorous email worked. I'd never of thunk it :-).
Thanks again,
KR, Cleveland
Couple this with lavish customer praise for three different E-Cyrano writers (Josh, Michaela, and Christine), and well, my spirits couldn't be much higher.
The moral of the story, as usual, is that online dating works.
Writing creatively works. Acting thoughfully works. Keeping at it works. And if you're not yet convinced, here's another story that validates this premise:
Actually, let's make that one its own post. (read "Handsome, But Clueless" above)
