Okay, kids...I get it. The first post fell kind of flat. This is all new to me and I really am looking forward to your participation. So please give me a second chance and try a different approach.
I think most of us have been on at least one date that you met online. It really is the perfect way to meet someone; you can sit in your oldest, most comfortable pjs, your hair a little over due for a shampoo , munching on your favorite forbidden food and shop for men the same way we shop for shoes. Its the dating girls dream!
And then you meet the guy. You know that commercial about the girl who is meeting her date for the first time and announces that she met him on the internet, and he's a french model? And this scruffy 7 ft guy, complete with a fanny pack, half smiles a 'Bonjour" and walks off with his arm around the (God forgive me) air head? Yeah, that's how a lot of first meetings happen. Its funny as hell when you finally escape to the sanctuary of home, but during the date? It can be anything from frightening to unadulterated fury.
I live in a very rural area where single men are scarce. So online dating services are really the only way for me to meet anyone. I admit, I've been very fortunate to have only met one freak--oh,but he was a doozy! Claimed he was in love with me the first night we met, and would I mind shaving his back? I was outta there before he got the razor out. Oh, and there was this other guy I met for coffee. He was extremely good looking, and I honestly wondered why a guy like him was bothering with computer dating when any woman in their right mind would go nuts over him. We had a nice hour or so, he walked me to my car, kissed me perfectly and said that he thought we would get along just fine. No sooner did I get home, I received a picture text from him. "How romantic," I thought as it downloaded. I opened it up to a "full monty', the complete package! And I couldn't help it; I started laughing! The poor guy made the mistake of calling me immediately after sending the pic and I was still laughing--not giggling, but side splitting laughter. When he asked me what was so funny, I was cracking up so hard, I swear I almost wet my pants. Not surprisingly, he hung up on me. A few hours later, he texted me that I was the most insensitive woman he'd ever met. I guess he didn't display his 'package' very often!
These are only two of the hilarious stories I have about online dating!
Tell me some of your's...especially if you can beat the insecure guy with the...interesting pic text delivery! Consider it a challenge! I've got a few more "meet and greets" to share...See if you can beat them!
Until next time, happy dating!
