Like most women who subject themselves to online dating, I’m forced to deal with an onslaught of creepy fucking emails from creepy fucking men on Match.com. The benefits of having a vagina… oh, the places you’ll go.
For the hopeless romantics out there, I longed to share some of the beautiful poetry that has found its way into my inbox over the past two weeks. (Yes, these are real)
Cleveland ladies – prepare to be wooed. These men are out there for the taking. If you’re on Match.com, odds are you may have already received a few of these gems.
Don’t what??? Creep.
Here’s to 2013 and another year of being over thirty and single in Cleveland.
And these are the reasons I lasted 9 days … count them … 9 days (!!!) on Match before cancelling my subscription. Ha.
You probably received these same exact messages. I hate online dating, but it’s so tough to meet people in everyday life. When I go out, it’s usually with male friends (my last single girlfriend just moved away) and I work from home so I’m not mingling in a 9-5/happy hour setting either.
My thought – people like us are using the site. We seem normal – there has got to be others just like us on there as well. It just takes some time to find them. Obviously lots of time.
I miss those days ….NOT!! But, online dating IS how I met my fiance. So hang in there! If he had any dateable friends left I’d send some your way. But I think the single friends he has might have already contacted you…:)
I know quite a few people who have awesome relationships courtesy of online dating. I’ll keep hanging in there and hopefully one day it’ll be my turn. Online dating taught me that there are more screwed up people out there than I ever realized! Congrats on finding a keeper
Those are some serious gems! How have you not found THE ONE yet???
They seem nice. Seriously though, I hope someone fabulous comes along soon. I know that dating sucks. I found my boyfriend through Match, so there’s definitely hope, but I met plenty of weirdos first. My favorites are the stalkers — the ones who seem normal for dates 1-3 and then flip the crazy switch. At least these fellas in this story are displaying their crazy up front
!
Internet dating must bring out the “worst” in people (from our point of view – guys)… they must forget that you don’t know them and their “humour” is lost (or maybe they are serious). LOL There has to be a better (NORMAL) way to meet someone. Crash your trolley into the next gorgeous man you see and then pretend to faint… that will do it!!!
