It was after school and I was sitting on my bed in my room, I noticed a notification from that website, I opened the page up and checked the notification. "A love letter?"

I click on the 'Open Letter' button and began reading.

'love looks with the heart, not with the mind, and therefore, Cupid is blind.

I want to know this fine lady I'm speaking too...'

Wow, this is so sad.. I don't even know this person!

I decided to reply, not with another love letter, maybe not just yet.

'This fine lady you are speaking to happens to be flattered by your words, please, tell me about yourself first.'

He didn't answer for a few hours after that, maybe he lives in a different country?

During dinner that night my phone went off, a notification. "Excuse me..."

My mother raised an eyebrow. "Who's texting you?"

"Someone."

I quickly got up and left the room, I heard my little sister talking to my mother. "Alex has a date website, she's talking to booooyyys!"

I read the message.

'What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.

I read your bio, MiniAl, I am the same age as you and we have many of the same interests.

Once we get to know each other better We should meet to have coffee somewhere.'

"Alex, come back to the table, now!"

I quickly switched off my phone and made my way back to the dinner table, my mum looked cross, my sister smiled at me nervously, and my dad was stuffing his mouth with a potato. Mum sighed. "Tell me about this new website."

I shrugged. "Just like any other, nothing really to tell you."

"Your signing up into dating websites, there could be creeps on there!"

"There's creeps in the outside world, too... are you going to keep me indoors for the rest of my life?"

"Don't have attitude with me!"

The truth is attitude...

 looked over to my dad and he just shrugged. "Honey, Alex is right, outside you can easily be kidnapped or killed, you cant kidnap someone over the phone or anything like that, as long as she doesn't meet up with the person she's talking to or doesn't send anything inappropriate, then I'm okay with it."

We all stared at dad, our mouths dropped... did mum and dad like switch bodies or something?!

"Well I don't want her on such a website."

I rolled my eyes. "Mum, it's just for a little fun, not like I'm going to go meeting up for coffee with him or anything..."

"Fine! If anything happens don't come crying to me because I told you so!"

"Okay mum."
