I know it is tough. The human psche, no matter how strong we think we are, just can't handle rejection. Does it really matter what is said to us. I wish everyone would all just tell the truth and leave it at that, but even if they do tell us the truth are we strong enough to accept the truth without becoming small minded and rude. Case in point a nice lady wrote me a note one day and said she did not know where my city was(there is only a zillion internet sites you can look up cities). I located her city and she was over 10 hours away out in the middle of nowhere. I wrote her a nice email thanking her for the interest but told her I did not see any chance for a serious relationship so far away. She peppered me with very ugly emails for my trouble. I felt her pain so I did not send her any nasty replies back. So give the women a break, telling a person no is hard to do even on the internet.

Says he'll meet me for coffee any time I want. I name a time and place. He comes back with he might be in the hospital by then because he has an ingrown hair in his knee that got infected.


You win, Astrosky

That is the best!

Okay here is a good one...although a bit different...

She says she was gonna call me...well...she had to take this trip to Pittsburgh and she left my number in her car in Houston...uh-huh...and the reason she didn't call me when she got back from Pittsburgh...? I'm still waiting for that one...

I know one woman who wants to meet but she's always drunk, and I don't want her to drive, now I could always go over to her place, but then again she is always drunk, and drinking for me isn't something I master anymore

This one's not bad: talking to a woman in IM, I mentioned I had a computer business. She said "Oh, you're one of those guy who does websites, huh? Sorry - I'm looking for someone with better career potential."

I didn't enlighten her.

Never tell a woman what you do = only tell her how much you bring in, or better yet just send her a scan of your bank account balance, it really makes them feel like an a*** when they see what they shot down

^^^ Hate to say it, but a dog can be a deal breaker under certain circumstances. I really do not like certain types of dogs. That having been said, it wouldn't get to the stage of having the potential to be shot down, because for me, a picture of the wrong type of dog in the profile = go to the next profile. Same with "love my pit bull" or something similar in the text.

A couple of months ago I emailed a fellow who had inexplicably stopped all forms of communication with me. This is the excuse I received from a grown 37-year-old man:

"I dropped my cell phone in the toilet."

Well, maybe she meant she doesn't have a computer at home...but still, lame.
I can never tell a guy blatanly "I'm not interested in you", I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
I know, I'm bad
But guys aren't any better "This was a good time, we have to do it again."/"I'll call ya." anyone??

I dropped my pager once into a pail of water once, and when I finally spoke with the girl she asked why I missed the 25 pages - 4 hour shift and she sent me 25 pages - happy I missed them lol

"Well, maybe she meant she doesn't have a computer at home...but still, lame."

Yeah, I thought about that, but the reply came only a few hours after I contacted her. And she had to get on a computer to send the message.

These days, it's hard to spit without hitting a business (cafe, hotel, etc.) that offers free internet access. I can do it at my library if I wanted. But I guess the point is the irony; she's posted a profile on the site to get replies but says she doesn't have access to a computer.

I took it as an indirect and maybe kind way of saying "I'm not interested," but it was a really transparent way, too.

I would much rather hear the truth (i.e. not interested at all) than ask someone out, have them say yes and then avoid you like you're a bill collector for the 6 months since.......lol when you turn the corner in the store and she hides behind signs that means she really meant "NO"

Yeah I hear that happening a lot also now. Set up a date the other side doesn't show up, or they show up, don't like what they see and take off -- real grown up I think lol
I know one girl, she met the guy, they had dinner and he went to the washroom, actually took off, and left her with a $95 dinner bill. Seems he had the steak lol. Now what he didn't know, was she was a cop and HE ALREADY AGREED DINNER WAS ON HIM. So 2 hours later the cops picked him up on theft/shoplifting charges.
She had the proof to nail him on that lol, geez wish more women were cops lol
