More Stories from the Wonderful World of Online Dating!
You gotta love it when the user name of a guy trying to correspond with you is, "IHaveAllMyLimbs". If that is your selling point, well, maybe you need to try and get a better job, or find a hobby on an interesting topic, SOMETHING to jack up your date-abilty quotient.
I had a gentleman from Indiana send me an e-mail just to say I was cute and had a great profile and won't have any problem finding a great guy, and he wished he lived closer.
I wrote back that he was very sweet to say so, but he is lucky enough to have 3 great kids and doesn't want anymore, and I still want to have kids of my own some day, and wished him luck.
He wrote back telling me if I want kids, I better get started soon.
Charming.
I called another guy tonight. I was lukewarm on him to begin with, but decided I need to keep my mind open. He has been married twice, and "don't know what the problem is. Guess I'm just not meant to be married." He ended our conversation, after telling me to give him a call to arrange a date, by saying, "I ain't a bad looking guy, and I ain't crazy or anything..."
Some of you are going to say he was just being silly and showing a whimsical side. Ummmm...no. He talked like that throughout the 20 minutes we were on the phone. His e-mails are worse.
I also seem to send out the vibe that if you are in need of a green card, I'm your gal. Seriously. I have many gentlemen who do not claim English as their native tongue sending me e-mails.
I am just shallow enough to reply to the hottie.
In "Real-World" dating, I am going out with a "boy" who is 11 years younger than me. I know--there is no way that it will be a love connection, but what the hey?
I am always suspicious of the guy who posts only a fuzzy picture and mentions in his profile and in his e-mail that it is a bad picture and his much better looking in person.
I question it further when I have 9 clear, nice pictures posted and I get questioned about how current they are and which one looks most like me now.
The guys who lie the most about their physical appearance are the ones who question others about their honest on the issue.
Finally, there is the guy I was kind enough to offer to show around town after he was transferred here with the Nation Guard.
Our first phone call was basically him berating me for my sports teams and political leanings.
Then, he left a message this morning laughing that I was at a game where my Cardinals were stomped by a weak team--nevermind the fact they are still 7 and 1/2 games ahead of his Cubs, but whatever.
This one won't work. Tried this sort of relationship before.
That's all I got for now, friends. You know I'll continue to update you as thing develop, or flounder! :)
