How I helped an internet dork get a date. |9:25 PM| There's this guy online, LSTB, who is quite shy. He had registered on a personal's website, and was hoping for love.
LSTB is "L-Shaped Tetris block". He's a slightly autistic or at least very socially inept poster. He's a nice, talented fellow if a bit weird. He often bitches about being lonely, and happened to mention a personal's site he was on. He mentioned that a girl had messaged him, he'd gotten flustered and not replied.
I then registered on said site, and tracked down the female in question:

And sent her a message:

Hello madam.
You seem open to new ideas, so I hope you'll put up with this mess. This nice fellow:

Contacted you at some point, or perhaps you contacted him first. He was extremely excited by both your reply, and your pictures.
However, he's a damn shy sissy and he didn't reply to you. Instead of taunting him as his peers have, I am taking this chance to meddle in his affairs.
As a favor to an internet stranger, who promises he has helped one old lady change a tire on the side of the road, please message him again.

A couple days later I hear that LSTB is going on a date. I asked him if it had anything to do with my meddling, and he says "Yes. This is all your fault. She even forwarded me your message."
I found myself laughing out loud. A laughter of good will, which I don't get to experience very often. I laughed loud enough to wake my roommate.
This is a long post already, but if you wanted to read the message she sent me, here it is:

hello there! I just thought I should email you back to let you know how much I appreciated your gesture. I actually had a reply in my mailbox from LSTB, and I have you to thank for it. I emailed him a while back and I assumed he didn't respond because he was too cool to be meddling with the likes of me. It's a self esteem lister to kow it's "not you." y'know? Anyway you helped make my day spectacular yesterday. Thanks again for being such a dignified, caring friend!
Mucho love,
