My week in dating LOLs
I met what seemed like a half way normal guy on Saturday night. Two days later on the phone he told me that he was "freaky" and wanted me to dress him up in my clothes and makeup.
I met a guy for coffee Wednesday that I have been talking to for a while. In line at Starbucks he was talking to me literally one inch from my face. I couldn't even really see his face he was so close. He said he was 37 but he looked about 57. He emailed me later and said that he was interested in a relationship, but wanted a woman that would have sex with other men in front of him. Oh, if I was his girlfriend he would want to wear my dirty underwear to work under his uniform (he's a cop). He clarified that he is not a cross dresser he just likes feeling close to his woman.
I got a first email from a guy on POF that read: I will lick you dry baby an I am hard all night would love to just bend u over doggy an make u
go crazy
I got another email from a guy that is separated but in his profile he said he is getting a "devise". He spells it this way twice.
Dating is fun 
Anyone else have any good adventures this week?

Wow, those are REALLY REALLY bad! I just had the text from GC dude. He backed off when I shut him down, again.
I was on match over a year ago and talked to this guy that I ended up not meeting up with because he turned out to be a stage five clinger. I would send him one text and he would send back four to my one, so it just turned me off and I told him I'd met someone. He wanted to know what he had done wrong so I basically said he had come on way too strong it made me a little uncomfortable. Then I got an email from him a few weeks ago (when I re-opened my profile) asking about what lessons I'd learned in a year. Then he added a "just curious" along with a smiley face. Dude made excessive use of the smiley face emoticon. I just ignored him but felt like saying "I've learned to stay away from creepers who come on too strong and don't get the hint".
One guy winked at me and so I clicked on his profile. In the "about me" part he essentially says that he's had a very hard life and his mom, brother, and father have all passed away and his brother had been shot. I feel for the guy but it seems like a very personal thing to put in the "about me" section. Plus there was nothing else in that category, just the information about his family being deceased.
Yes they are from POF, that seems where all the guys are where I live. I've tried other sites and there is just no one on there.
I almost forgot the other guy that I spoke to on the phone! He didn't have a car so he wanted me to come to his house. No wait, he had a car but no tags. He also had given himself 25 tattoos. As in, did the tattoos on himself. He was so cray cray. I mean all over the place on the phone. I was dying to hang up. I almost just hung up in the middle of one of his crazy rants but it was like a trainwreck, I couldn't stop listening. After our call he emailed me, I told him I wasn't interested (nicely) then blocked him. He changed his profile to read:
Omg Black Kitty, you win the award for biggest freaks! These guys make the crazies I get emails from look like saints. So far, I've been lucky enough not to actually go out with any super crazy people. Fingers crossed it stays that way!!!!
ETA: Wait, I don't know how I forgot about this! I had a date Monday night, and a little before the date the guy texted me and wanted to talk quick because he had a question. I called him and he wanted to know what color shirt he should wear. I said I didn't care, but he insisted I pick a color. Then he asked if he should wear light colored jeans or dark colored jeans. Ummmmm....wtf? The date went ok and I was considering going out with him again. The next day he texted me while I was at work and wanted to know if he could call me...at work. I asked if I could call him after I got off or later that night. He said no biggie. He just wanted to say hi. I never called him and haven't heard from him since. I'm just leaving that one alone. Next!
Yes, I seem to attract the crazies, and keep in mind this was just one week! I am definitely thinking about starting a blog.
I was LOLing at the guy that asked you what to wear! How ridiculously random!
would you like one more?
This was also a guy I just spoke to on the phone. He told me he was "dominant" and "freaky". So of course I needed to know, freaky like wearing my underwear? Not this one. He liked three somes, but only with black men. He would only suck a guys *** if it was a black guy.
What?! That's all I can say. What?! I would have bailed at the mention of threesome. No need to stick around for more!
"You're too tall for me, but who's the other hottie in the pic?" (re/ a picture of me and my married BFF on OKC)
Something about that really pissed me off.
LOL... nice!
Which website is this POF? I don't think I want to go anywhere near it!!!
This thread has made me very entertained tonight, thanks!
I mostly lurk here- but I gotta say this post has made
my day! I'm at work, so thank you very much
Too-too funny.
I've got one...I was talking to a guy from OKC who seemed nice enough, cute, creative, considerate, and I agreed to get coffee with him. I went on the date and things seemed to be going really well. I was attracted to him and we had great conversation. The Starbucks was closing, so we went to his car to chat. This is when I discovered that he has a breathalizer in his car because of the DUIs he's gotten. I also find out that he is on probation for harassment and domestic violence.
I couldn't run away fast enough.
Now, he's been texting me periodically and I really don't know what to say to him because I feel like I led him on with our connection in the Starbucks....I think I might just let it fizzle.
I went to a singles party last night through Meetup.com and met a guy that totally steamrolled our conversation and then, point blank, asked me if I wanted to make out. Awkward, and no, no I don't. Another guy I met at this party was groping my legs under the table and was doing the same thing to my friend who was sitting on the other side of him. Gross.
Oy. I give up on dating.
WOWZA! Okay, so I thought I had come across some weirdos, but apparently not!You guys are angels for putting up with even phone calls from these creeps!
The "worst" I ever had is from the last time I was on match about 7 years ago, with a gentleman that I'll affectionately refer to as "Tiger Boy." Tiger Boy seemed pretty normal in the emails we were sending, so we agreed to meet up at a local pub for drinks. Conversations went well, drinks were good, huzzah.
A few days later, I met what would be my STBXH, but our first date kinda fizzled, so I agreed to a second date with Tiger Boy.
Tiger Boy comes to pick me up, just honks in the driveway (I'm sorry, what?), and then tells me we have to go feed his professors birds (he was a PhD student in music at the university I where I was getting my JD) and he was housesitting. We get to the place, and it's pretty amazing. Great decor, great balcony, nifty media setup.
TB asked if I wanted to stay and watch a movie on the awesome media set up, and I said sure. So we're sitting on the couch (SITTING) and I realize I can't hear part of the movie, so I lean forward to grab the remote off of the coffee table. As I do so, SHARP pain in my left side. I scream, "Ow" and jump back. Tiger Boy had BITTEN me.
I turned and asked, "Why the #$% did you do that????" His response (delivered with a straight face, nary a twinkle in his eye): "That's how tigers show they like each other."
I couldn't get out of that date fast enough, and soon STBXH called, and we started seriously dating. When TB got back from his vacation two weeks later, he sent a message asking if I'd like to go grab dinner, and I let him know that I'd found someone else.
He then proceeded to leave tons of voicemails on my phone, screaming about how I was like all of the other ::insert whatever nasty names for women you'd like here:: on match, and that he hoped I'd rot, etc, etc, etc,
Fun times, fun times.

Ok this is weird and really sounds like a guy I broke things off with after a few weeks. He also liked tigers (read: his sn online was his initials and the word tiger, had tiger pictures in his house and stuffed tigers on his bed). He was also a biter. M yeah, tiger guys are weird...
