Story for the Worker

Shauna was on an online dating site. She wasn't sure what she was looking for, or even why she was on there. She had brilliant friends - the best she could wish for, yet she still felt the need for a boyfriend.She decided to look online for one. 'What are you looking for?' asked the search box in front of her. She didn't know, so she checked the 'most searched' list. The 'most searched' list contained the search terms that were used the most on the site. Words that people typed in to search for someone wanting to do the same things as them, or even just to have a similar personality. The top three words were 'caress', 'kiss', and 'soul'. Shauna clicked on 'caress'. A list of profiles appeared in front of her, each containing the word 'caress'. She glared disgustedly at the screen as she skimmed through the profiles. They seemed to all just want one night stands, notthe proper relationship thatshe wanted! She clicked the 'back' button and tried the word 'kiss'. "There's bound to be some people wanting a relationshipon here!" she thought to herself. No such luck. All the profiles displayed to her containedrequests for a partner forx-rated pornfilming, certainly not the proper relationship that she wanted! Shauna sighed and clicked 'back' once again. "I'll give it one last shot'' she thought to herself. She clicked on the word 'soul' . "I'm bound to find some deeper people now'' Shauna thought to herself. When the profiles containing the word 'soul' appeared on her screen, she couldn't have been more disappointed. They were all full of paragraphssuch as "I know my soul mate is on here somewhere. I know they are into bondage and have blonde hair. If you fit this description then send me a message. If you want to be my soul matethen I will audition you. The audition will consist of a deep kiss, sex while handcuffed, and breast measurement.'' All these people wanted someone to fulfill their fantasies, not the proper relationship that she wanted! Frustrated at the lack of good results on the dating site, Shauna logged off and went into the garden. She sat down in a deck chair with an alcopop, and watched the people go by in the street. "I'll look for a boyfriend here" she thought "one that does not want a one night stand or someone to just fulfill fantasies. Definitely not one that wants a porn actor, but someone that wants the proper relationship that I want."
