Video - Diving into online dating apps

[ Strange dreams from the night before plagued his mind but he settled down to try and carry on with his chosen mission in spite of them. ]

Are you a man or a woman interested in finding a man or a woman?

Anthony read the question carefully before typing in an answer and speaking it aloud although he was sitting alone. ]

Sure.

He wasn't entirely certain what Alec's preferences were so Anthony hedged his bets and picked both. All the better to give his antisocial cousin as many choices as possible. The profile pages were filled out with Alec's information, the usual age, sex and location goodies along with the likes and dislikes... which were heavier on the dislikes than the likes. And it was rounded out with a handsomely smiling selfie of Anthony himself. They did practically look like twins! So what if the smile was a lie and unlikely to actually be seen on Alec's face. The potential new couple could work that out when they finally met.

Anthony sat in the gloom of his bedroom typing up as many online dating profiles on his laptop as there were online dating websites. Not for him of course, he had some one. It was Alec's own fault for making it sound like he was out there looking for some one to love and going about it in entirely the wrong ways. He just needed a little help, a friendly nudge to get the ball rolling and then the rest was entirely up to him only some of these questions were so outlandish and wild that they needed to be shared with the 'Different' crowd! 
]

How do you prefer to be kissed, slow and tender or hard and passionately?

He frowned and gestured at his cell phone. ]

How would you even answer anything like that?? We're meeting for the first time not arranging a sleepover! Its a bit much for a profile question isn't it? Only thing worse would be asking how much you are making or... diving right into the do you want kids question.

His room was dark with the shades pulled tightly closed and yet he still wore his sunglasses as if he needed them to shield him from the glow of the computer. After a while he grumbled and rubbed at his eyes, while still keeping them very carefully shielded from the camera. ]

Sod it. I'll think of something to write in.

Anthony paused and frowned again at the screen.]

And now someone's asking if I'll watch their cat this weekend??

Each words was typed angrily. ]

Hire. A. Sitter.
At least a few of these don't look like lost causes. What do you lot think, is the online dating market always this bad? Maybe there is a better site out there?

I do not know HOW many times I can say to you that this is a bad idea, Anthony.

But of all the time I have known you? This is the worst one yet! Are you mad??
darkenedmoon: (done with your shit)

[personal profile] darkenedmoon 2020-11-09 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
The former. The latter, I would call bragging.

I cannot imagine just what Alec might do to you for this.

[After all, she'd cottoned to his disinterest quickly enough...and she'd tried to be friendly enough.]

[His tone, for Fell, is noticeably cold and snappish.]

Can't say I've had reason before to find out. Though I suppose I might just give it a go now, if that's how it is.

How do you like to be kissed, Anthony?
temptationaccomplished: (I'm studiously ignoring you)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-11-09 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Do I?

Clearly you're more interested in exploring other methods.
temptationaccomplished: (OBVIOUSLY)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-11-09 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I suppose you could! Makes it all the more... vile that you're waving your contrived indiscretions around publically instead of just having an affair like a normal person!

[he is not there at the moment, which is good news for Anthony but he is going to be heading there soon enough which is very bad news for Anthony]

What the fuck do you think you're doing?

The hard part of what? Are you bored of Fell already? Is that what this is? You're just going to casually toss all that aside?

[when he does get there he's going to smack his cousin round the head, locked door or not]
temptationaccomplished: (frowny face)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-11-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're not having an affair, what are you doing?

...Are you toying with those people, Anthony Crowley?! Is this somehow your idea of good demonic work?

Thank goodness he has at least one reasonable friend.

My dear Ms. Naeuri, how have you been? I do wish this were better circumstances.

I don't trust your plans. Your plans are shit. Tell me what's going on.

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-11-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Why not?

If you're not seeing other people, and you're not trying to tempt them, what could you possibly be doing with a dating site?

Why are you bring so secretive?
temptationaccomplished: (but idk enough about stars to dispute it)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2020-11-09 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
A bait and...?

But what are you swapping out?
