d!Cheek'd!
A few weeks ago I was cleaning out my purse, when I found this card at the bottom:
Cheek'd! Well that sounds fun. Except I had no idea what it meant. And I was raised at a time when trips to "the city" meant warnings about the prevalence of pickpockets, so naturally a foreign object in my purse meant that I should do an inventory of my personal belongings. My wallet secured and a few keystrokes later, I found the Cheek'd website and FAQ...
I JUST RECEIVED A CHEEK'D CARD - WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
Congratulations. Most likely, you received a card because the person that gave it to you is interested in meeting you again. If you are interested, go to the Cheek'd home page and enter the code number on the card. You will be taken to that person's profile page, where you learn a little bit more about them.So here's the deal. Cheek'd is a dating service that provides members with ID-specific cards that they can give to potential dates, often surreptitiously. A person who finds a Cheek'd card in her purse can then log onto the website and input the ID number to learn a little bit more about her secret admirer. Contacting that person requires logging on as a guest, which I did not do because I am, well, engaged and thus not particularly interested in dating, online or otherwise.But this is flattering! And kind of a cool innovation in the (frequently creepy) art of the sidewalk pick-up. If I were single, I might just reach out to this person, if only to thank them for getting close enough to my purse to slip something into it, without pulling anything out in the process.
