I need to preface this with a note that yes, there is online dating involved in these stories. For those of you that ask, why online dating? Well, if you don't date at work (I don't), don't date the divorced parents of your children's friends (I don't) and don't spend tons of time at the bar (I don't), you quickly run out of ways to meet people.
Online dating, you have to take it with a grain of salt, have a positive attitude, hope for the best and take everything in stride.
So.......here we are at the stories for today!
1. I get an email today: You read like a good woman so I am interested also looks dont hurt either LOL well i am here Sincerely, Tom
I was a bit flummoxed when I read that email. I thought of a couple things I couldn't say but....my girlfriend came up with the best response that I will never send because it would be mean but it did make me laugh!
"You seem to have all of your teeth but by the way you write, you probably shouldn't. Congratulations for breaking the stereotype."
2. My girlfriend "dated" a guy who was kinda like "white on rice" at the beginning when he was trying to woo her...then, after it appeared he "had" her, he cut back and only really seemed to contact/see her enough to only enough to keep her interested. Unfortunately, when push came to shove, he decided that dating her would force him to have less time with his friends and lose some of his independence. Hmm...isn't that what happens eventually in relationships?
So, they broke up but stayed in minimal contact until my friend realized that she couldn't be friends with someone that she still cared for so severed the contact completely and told him being in contact with him was just too hard because she still cared for him. This was 3 weeks ago and she was VERY BLUNT and HONEST with her decision to which he agreed.
It just makes you scratch your head sometimes.
OK guys, I hate to make this an all girl perspective...can you please comment or give your view on this type fo situation???
