The week in dating LOLs
Anyone have any good stories to share this week? It was pretty quiet for me which was good after last week!
But I do have one big LOL to share or maybe it's a WTF! I dated this guy in November we went out like 4 times. He had just gotten divorced in January, started dating someone else in February and literally broke up with her 4 days before we met. He was divorced twice. I heard he got married last month (third marriage in case you are counting, at age 37), and it was not to the girl he was dating before me!
Re: The week in dating LOLs
This isn't necessarily a "dating" story....I went to a singles thing at a local bar on Saturday and was chatting with some guys. There was one who was pretty cute and asked for my number....after getting my number he shared the following information: he has 8 kids, works at said bar, currently filing bankruptcy, is still married (planned to divorce after filing bankruptcy), and is currently living in the basement of the marital home until he can "afford" to get a small one bedroom apartment. Yeah, had to tell him I couldn't see myself pursuing anything with someone who is still married.
Sigh, I'm a little worried these kinds of guys will be the only ones that are into me.
I started a dating blog to chronicle the crazy but nothing notable this week really. I have a first date tonight with someone I've been emailing for about a month (it's been hard to schedule a meet up bc of the Bar and then he was sick last week). I wonder if the connection we have over emails will transfer to real life.
I had somewhat of an usual first date last night.
RiverPestie set me up with one of her friends. Me and him went running first together, then showered, and went out to dinner! It was a good night!
Thanks RP!
I got a doozy of an email yesterday on OKC. This dude is from India. Here it goes:
hey there, omg you look so pretty and cute, Oh i wish i could put a rock in you finger and make you mine forever. I know, I know we live too far apart for us to date even lol. lol (just dreaming) lol
, Oh the one who does will be the luckiest guy in the Universe. Well who knows i might get lucky 
(dreaming againg lol). On a serious note, Like your profile and would like to communicate further, If you like my profile too 
. lots of love and happiness and clear horizons!!
Warm Regards
Big T
ETA: On a better note, I've been texting and talking to a guy that I am really interested in for a couple weeks now (conflicting schedules and we were supposed to go out Monday but I got sick). We're going out next Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it! This one's got some potential.
DorisWE, I feel your pain! I've had that before, it's such a cop out. I feel like telling them if they want the perks of being single - like meeting a cute girl in a bar and getting her number - then they have to man up and leave if they're so damn unhappy being married. After all that's what we did.
Lets see, recently I met this goooorgeous guy - I'm telling you, he looked just like Robert Pattinson - and we talked for a bit, then he pulled out the racist jokes. Really? Does that work on anyone?! That's not even the first time it's happened to me. I'm starting to get a complex, do I look like I appreciate a good NeoNazi anecdote or something!?
Haha, this cracked me up! I dunno, but I must give off the "come here all of you sex freaks" vibe because that's what I've been attracting lately.
HOLYSHIT, 8 kids, really?
Congrats on the new blog! Love it!! Sadly, I have actually been to a swinger's club. Yes indeed I have seen it all
I don't know what is worse... the excessive LOLs, the excessive
or the fact that he calls himself Big T? Really dude?
I got a wink on match from a guy in Hawaii, I mean come on are you guys serious?
That was my response as well...he later explained 2 were step-kids, one son died in infancy, but 5 kids at home with him and his wife
That and the confusion of commas with periods. I would have deleted the email immediately, but I saved it solely for the purpose to entertain the ladies of SO! I laughed at the Big T too.
Not really a dating story but good nonetheless. I was at the bar with friends when two guys asked us to play pool. One of my friends wanted to but no one else did so I ended up playing even though I am absolutely horrible at pool.
Well in the end one of the guys and I sort of connected. We were mildly flirting and he was giving me "hands on" pool tips. Then much later in the night we ended up in the back of the bar by ourselves chatting. He leaned in to kiss me and then promptly tried to stick his hand down my pants!!! I kid you not. I freaked slapped him and dragged my friends out of the bar.
OMG, what a douchebag
Oh I almost forgot! Jesus emailed me on POF. For realz, he signed it "JC"
OMG-this cracks me up. A+ for a sense of humor at least. Or maybe JC is really on the market?
Lucky you, MCC to be the chosen one...
Well, I am a JEW!
Which is why this is just all the better!!! And still makes me laugh.
Maybe they all heard about your sex toy incident after your accident
Could've been worse, could've been Santa!
