More stories of online dating...

I talked to a cute guy with a very sexy voice tonight. We talked for over an hour and we laughed and joked and found out we have quite a bit in common.

Then he started asking how old my online pics are. I fibbed, only because I still look the same. He seriously asked me to send a picture of my entire body. I don't have any, but even if I did, I would NOT send one to some guy! A bit later I mentioned that my hair is actually curly, but I straighten it most days. He asked for a picture of it curly.
I asked if he wanted me to send every picture of myself on my hard drive. He said not every picture, just 3 or 4.

I now have my doubts!
Still going to go out with him (after Christmas) because he was great until that point.

Most of the men contacting me currently have kids and are not wanting anymore. It seems to be a theme. Started with Professor, and continues now.

Here are snippets from various e-mails, profiles I have received as of late...

Now after a hard couple of years, with the end of my marriage and the depression I went through with the loss, I have come to realize that I only need my kids and myself to be happy.

Yes, because my minor is psychology is just itchin' to be put to use!

I forgot to say that my massage technique is above the rest!

Great! Because I want some man I never met before in my life to rub on me for a first date!

Wow, you sound wonderful and you're very nice looking. A little on the young side for me but I thought I would voice my opinion anyway.

Another issue--Professor, who is 8 and a half years older than me, is one of the younger men in recent history to e-mail me.

Hi….I am probably not the right guy for you but I figure I would take a shot at this anyway. I need to be upfront and honest with you from the beginning because of having a disability and being in a wheelchair. I must say I found your profile to be very attractive as well as you! I am also very much into sports though I can’t play them :( . Anyway before I ramble on about myself I need to find out if you are okay with the idea of me having a disability I have learned in the past that I need to be up front and honest with women about my situation if something is to work out.

I dated a guy in a wheelchair before, and he was great. I really liked him and saw a future, until his "Oh, woe is me" attitude popped into the picture. I expect some of that, but this became an issue when he said he could never have kids, because he couldn't play with them. I digress. This guy was positive and upbeat when we first met, can you imagine this? THEN I feel guilty about thinking like that. OY!

And food and eating are definitely a theme in these titles...

Let's go places and eat things!


Which is not nearly as frightening as,
I've love to eat out!

YIKES!

So, please forgive me if I become slightly jaded, and please understand why an FWB is a good thing for me at this time.
