A Message From My Family

Hello. This is Shane's family. He's stepped away from his computer. We happened to be searching through his laptop when we accidentally logged onto his account for this blog. Since we're here, we will use this opportunity to alert you to some unfortunate news regarding Shane. He's been struggling with a personal issue that has caused us all great distress.

Shane is single. And 30.

We know you'd agree that this is simply unacceptable. For reasons that we cannot comprehend, Shane has resisted any attempt to find a wife. He says he has "plenty of time," that he will meet the right woman when he "least expects it." Of course, he's incorrect. He does not have plenty of time. He's 30. He's not getting any younger. We can't stress that point enough. Believe us, we've stressed that point to him over and over, but he refuses to listen.

We do not want to watch him grow into an old man without a partner. Since we're his family and we love him and only want the best for him, we've decided to launch a search for a wife, on his behalf. We've created a personality test that we invite all of Shane's female readers to fill out. We are hopeful that one of you could be his soul mate.

Don't be alarmed by the test -- it's just a few standard questions that you'd read on any dating website. And we won't ask for a subscription fee to match you with Shane, LOL. No, save your money; Shane doesn't make a lot of money in his current job. Happy testing!
