Adventures in Modern Dating

... from my phone. I also deleted the email. I toyed with the idea of confronting April about it but decided I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

The next morning, the email subject line read "What Is Wrong With You?" I deleted it unopened and before I could close my email app, it was back. So I deleted it again. It reappeared almost immediately. The third time, "READ ME!" was appended to the end of the subject line. I had a degree in computer science and this raised all kinds of red flags. This was not a practical joke from April, she wasn't technologically disadvantaged by any means but this was professional quality shenanigans.

I closed the email app and ran the antivirus supplied by my cellular carrier. Nothing out of the ordinary. I searched online and found a separate antivirus I could run without downloading. It was also normal. I tried a third with the same result. I didn't have any kind of malware on my phone.

I went back and opened the email. Again, "What do you have to lose?" was the headline. Below, it went over the virtues of the app being pictureless and not requiring a user-supplied profile.

I thought that sounded like bullshit, a computer rating my looks. How would it know if I uploaded somebody else's picture?

There was a large blue button at the bottom of the email, titled "Start My Assessment." Right underneath that was the magic question again, "What have you got to lose?"

You mean besides what's left of my self-respect? Nothing.

I clicked on the button and it took me to the app store to download the app's beta version. After it installed with a clean bill of health from the antivirus, I opened it. My first name and a picture of me appeared, with the option of uploading a different picture. I didn't give it permission to upload pictures but when I opened the permissions page, it had already been granted. The option was grayed out, so I couldn't change it. So that was how they solved that particular problem with picture authenticity.

It wasn't a bad picture, my hair was combed and I didn't have anything stuck in my teeth, so I left it as is. The personality and temperament assessment was next. I began answering ...
