Online Dating-What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
So far, nothing has gone wrong, ftr, but I fully expect something to become tabloidesque knowing my luck.
I signed up on a whim out of boredom for Plenty of Fish. Apparently there were NOT plenty of fish out there because I was hammered with "They said Yes" and messages from all sorts of people. Several of the people said that I seemed, "real". It makes me want to see other women's profiles now.
I found it bizarre that people who never read my profile would say they wanted to meet me. WTF? If you make your call by a picture, then I seriously doubt your critical thinking skills.
Some people are fairly nice:
"How is your day?"
Others are dumb as dirt:
"your hott"
Some are weird:
"Have you ever chatted with someone who is active military before?"
(Why does this matter?)
Some want to influence me:
"Come to the dark side-you'll never look back."
"I am looking for someone to build a faith-based relationship with."
Then there are the crazy ones:
"I just read your profile--I must talk to you. You are the woman of my dreams we have so much in common and you are beautiful. We need to talk! Message me back, please."
I made the mistake of saying, "Thank you."
"We are perfect for each other. I just know it. I am working on a new business venture-it's super secret, but I'd love to get your ideas on it."
ME: "Tell me about it." (I am too damn polite).
"Well, I won't discuss it online. WHat's your number? I"ll call you so we can talk."
Me: "I do not give my number out on websites."
He then sends me his number and says, "Text m."
Me: "Um, then you would still have my phone number."
He then went on a rant.
"Woman, you said you didn't want to send it through a website, so I gave you an option. You are missing out here. We have chemistry. I can tell. I can't believe someone who seems so smart can't see this, PENNY."
I used my dog's name as my username. That's some powerful chemistry, lmao.
Another:
"Have you ever messaged with someone who is active military before? Here's my number. Call me or text me any time."
Um..no thanks.
