Hobbies:Fishing and martial arts. Shopping. Good food.

Dislikes:Fakers. Mean people. Bald men.

Laughing, I shook my head.

Likes:A lot of things. Ask and find out.

Tagline:N/A

I guessed she left the tagline for me to add. I had no idea what to put there.

Who was going to read all of this? I’d never used a dating app before. One of my former hygienists met some guy through a dating app, and he turned out to be on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.

Creeps were all over the place, even on the internet. I had to protect Kaylee from this. Who was she working with at Whiz Kidz? Were they doing enough to ensure the kids were safe from online criminals?

The red heart linked me to someone with the alias DonutDude. He managed a donut shop, loved to eat donuts, and wanted to find someone special to share his love for donuts and other pastries. He was on a mission to lose weight and needed a partner to take walks with. I couldn’t help but laugh at the description, but I silently wished DonutDude would find his DonutGirl soon.

How was the calculation done? What happened behind the scenes to match my profile with his?I had to talk to Kaylee about this. This donut guy and I would not work out. If this app was going to be something real, she needed to revise the matching calculation.

If this was a prototype in its testing stage, who were these people? Did she know them? How did she know them? Whom did I have to hurt? Did the people at her afterschool program know about these things?

Gosh, I needed to have a chat with her tomorrow.

I clicked the other profile with the “friendly” tug. It showed he was online.

He sent a wave of a hand.

I waved back.

I read his profile with the name Bullseye and an image to match it.

Preferences:Here for friendship.

Age:Thirties, but sometimes I forget.

Likes:Fishing. Playing video games. Sports. Doing nothing.

Dislikes:Dentist, alcoholics. Too many to list. Ask me.

He sent me a text:

Bullseye:You like fishing?

Tulip:Yup.

Why did he dislike the dentist? I wasn’t sure if this friendship could happen.

Tagline:Weirdo looking for someone weirder.

That tagline made me laugh.It took me out of my stress bubble. Maybe I could be friends with a weirdo.

Tulip:Are you a creep in disguise?

Bullseye:Are you?

Tulip:Maybe.

Bullseye:Why so suspicious?
