It didn't take long for the responses to start rolling in. There were over 50 messages in an hour and more were coming in. You can do this Faith, I say to myself. How hard can this be?

At 35, I was doing well for myself. I had my own photography studio, car and I leased a condo in the heart of Dallas with a great view. It had been 10 years since my divorce and still didn't feel the need to "settle down" again.

I clicked on the first message and was greeted with a giant dick pic. It was one of those photos that makes you tilt your head to the left. After a glance or two, I delete it. I spend all day filtering through the emails. Around 6pm, I decide to call it a night. None had caught my intrest and it had been hours since the last one came in.

Just as I reached for the mouse pad a new email popped up. I giggled at the email address as I thought I was the only person to still used the phrase "peace out ". I found myself smiling as I read his retort to my add. This one has a sense of humor, I think to myself as I formulate a whitty response. I hit the send button with a sly grin on my face. I hope he's still on.

I begin to give up hope when the email pops up in front of my eyes. The message is short...." Do you have kik? Message me: PeaceOut80"
