I thought I'd share.
My girlfriend has been doing online dating, so I caught the bug too and put up a profile. I was optimistic since I had met such a great guy online last summer!
The first guy I MSN'ed was really compatible....sounded great. We had some great conversations on MSN. We talked about getting a coffee & I said we should talk on the phone first. Well, when he called it was HORRIBLE! I couldn't get off the phone fast enough. When I asked how his day was going he said, "Well, it's awesome now that I'm talkin' to such a sexy lady like you." He also managed to say something about wanting to take me away somewhere great (with a jacuzzi) for the weekend. DELETE
The next guy to MSN me asked if I was interested in a male slave. He said he would come be my little love slave for the summer. He's clearly 10-15 years my junior. When he asked me if I lived with roommates or had my own place.......DELETE
The last guy, we had some great MSN conversations. We had some really fun phone conversations. He offered to take me for brunch yesterday. Now my standard rule has been to ONLY have a coffee. If it's bad, I can leave within 20-30 minutes. But, I must admit, I was a little caught up in the idea of "brunch" in one of the most scenic places in my city! So, I caved and met him. He was okay at first. We seemed to chat easily. Then.....the trouble began.
He didn't have a reservation. I said, "oh, that's okay, we can go somewhere else." Then he looked at me and said, "Oh, I'll get us in. And then puffs up his chest and says "I'll make a scene if I need to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" YIKES and double YIKES!!!
At this point I felt like running (although I was wearing heels) and I started praying that they wouldn't get us in so I suggest McDonald's and be out of there in 20 minutes. The host suggested we come back in 10 to see if their last few reservations cancelled and if so, he'd likely be able to get us in. So we waited.
So, when we do get in, all he did was talk about himself. :blah I realize he may have been nervous, but in the hour and a half, he never asked once about me, what I do, where I live, anything about my kids, anything I like to do, etc. It was just all about him. I even had to completely cut him off just to add a comment or two!
Well, I nearly sprinted for the door. And was relieved to be gone!
The good thing was that I had an AMAZING brunch. The food was absolutely spectacular and the view was FANTASTIC. Most of the time I stared out the window while he droned on and on and had to stop myself from laughing at the funny things I was thinking in my head.
Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. At least I had a fantastic meal (company excluded).
By the way, my profile is now off again. I've decided I'll look in the grocery store again for prospective dates! At least I'll know if they like organic or not!
Just thought I'd share!!!!!
