Last week I got an email that had just about everything, starting with time travel:
The message is from Hinge, a dating app that shows you profiles of people who are connected to you in some way through your Facebook network. They show you a few profiles a day, you say yes or no, and if you both say yes then you can chat.
I haven’t used this app since March, but apparently Future Me really wants me to talk to Anne.
How far in the future was this written? I feel like that’s a crucial piece of information for Current Me to know. If it’s only a few weeks from now, that’s less compelling than 98-year-old me imploring me to act.
Also, worth it in what way, Future Me? Is this a love connection or do I get a really good deal on a timeshare through knowing her? DOES SHE OWN A TACO BELL?
I sure hope Future Me is way in the future, because man the end of the email is not cool:
And that capitalization. Come on, Future Chris.
Oh there’s another issue too. This message included a picture, which, well, shows Anne standing rather next to a gentleman in a way that suggests her status is not exactly single:
So Future Chris, please follow up with clarifications on these issues.
