tspence: i wrote you a message on pof. i was feeling a little lonely and slightly frustrated at the time. but it's something i need to know.
tspence: yeah. you could have been doing something else saturday night if you wanted.
tspence: no explanation?
tspence: that's cool. am i the only guy your are talking to on pof?
tspence: well, i've put a lot of thought into you for a week now exclusively. I was trying to hint that we talk or meet. then you say you aren't comfortable with that. what would make you more comfortable at this point?
tspence: you say you aren't gung ho on dating but your profile on pof suggests the opposite. you put that you are looking for a "long term relationship" and that you are talking to many guys and updating your profile while i'm trying to meet you is a real bad sign that you aren't interested at all.
tspence: all i want is to just know where you stand for real so i can decide what i should do from here.
tspence: well, i'm looking seriously for someone. i'm not out to hurt anybody or jerk anyone around. i'll be honest and up front. in my message i admitted emailing a woman today who is really just looking for a friend. and she wanted to meet right away and thought i was nice.
tspence: i haven't decided what to do.
tspence: the only reason i emailed someone today is because it seemed like you weren't interested.
tspence: so, i need to know. are you interested in me?
Steph: well i truely am not ready for that kind of pressure right now.
tspence: ok, you're not interested. that's all you had to say.
tspence: i expect when someone is even remotely interested in meeting me that i'm exclusive at that moment. it's respectful to give that courtesy and i do that for whoever i'm talking to. maybe that's old school, but it's me.
tspence: i'm a romantic, i'm sorry.
tspence: i don't mind still chatting with you though. it seems that's all we would have been doing forever i suspect.
tspence: i'm glad i didn't waste another minute under that scenario, it would have been an even bigger waste of my time when i could've been meeting someone serious.
tspence: maybe put it in your profile that if a guy messages you that he may end up on permanent chat with no meeting.
tspence: you have some issues.
-------------------------------------------------------
Any other guys have nightmare online experiences like this one where you wasted two weeks of your life? This is the THIRD TIME IN A ROW where a woman I chatted with on POF turned out to be a total flake and wasted my time. It's been a month now of no dates while actually having contact with women. I have a 4th woman who I emailed today and I'm hoping this one is going to actually meet me. As of none of the first 3 women even got to a table at a starbucks to talk with me. And it's not from a lack of me being real witty and as charming as a guy could be. I did my part but women on here just don't seem to have any idea how to treat a real man so far.
Tspence...IMO, it's you that has the issues...if you expect to be 'exclusive' with someone you've spoken to for a week, then you had better make that known right upfront in your profile. Reading what you wrote to this girl puts you in the scary stalker/bunny boiler mode, IMO; it makes you look desperate to find someone, not 'romantic'...And saying you wasted your time doesn't make you any more attractive to someone. If by emailing for a week and then pressuring someone to meet and do things the way you want them to is doing your 'part' then you still have a lot to learn about being in a relationship with another person. If you want a stepford wife type of woman, as your comments to this woman suggests, then you had better put that in your profile...I'm sure there are a few out there who would accommodate you - but no one with any brains would put up with this type of behavior - especially from someone they hadn't even met yet. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 10:18:37 AM | Tspence, you have some of the same traits of my friend in the above post.
I am wondering if you actually met up with this woman, and had she dared talked with another male, online or off, would she be the next "Internet Whore"?
You know, when I listened closely to her, and now on reflection, it seem like almost everybody in town was a former boyfriend. And I don't mean that she was promiscuous but that she would not give anybody a chance before ripping them a new one and kicking them to the curb, or being dumped ASAP.
You can't make somebody want to be with you, like you or love you. ' ' | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 11:28:38 AM | | OK,Ok Gang.....I was going to remain silent.....but you have forced me to bring out a repressed memory of a bad date...(or a hilarious date...depending on your point of view) that I had several years ago in my younger days. I think I was still a teenager and had no car. Either way..it would make a great short film classic. So..buckle your seatbelts,cuz here we go: In my early pre-teen youth in North Carolina, I had known "Martha"..and had always thought she would be a fun date. She was age 18,which was a year younger than me. She was tall,dark haired,curvy,had a great sense of humor,....and the daughter of a smalltown Southern Baptist minister. I had never dated a "preacher's daughter" before,and I did not know how to act. Boy,oh boy...what a wild night to come ! As we all know....alcohol can be somewhat of a temptation to those in our late teens in college. This was a dilemma,because I did not yet know if "Martha" drank or not. I pondered all these things as I borrowed and drove Mom's brown Plymouth to pick up my date. (Yep....I was 19, in college,...no new car,...little money..... and had to borrow the very uncool dark brown family Plymouth ....with a vinly top,no less! YUCK ! ) "Martha" and I arrived at a nice restaurant and the waitress come to the table. She said "Hi Y'all"....and gave us a big Cheshire cat grin. I should have ran away while I still had a chance to. I had the keys to the Plymouth in my pocket...and I think I could have out ran Martha to the parking lot. The next thing the waitress said that sealed mt fate was,"Would y'all like a drink or two before dinna?" I gave the waitress the "deer in the headlights" look.....with my eyes bulging and my mouth open....but nothing would come out. I then looked at "Martha"....with the same look of a scared rabbit. "Martha" looked the waitress dead in the eye like Dirty Harry....ans calmly said, "I'll have a Singapore Sling !!! " OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKK!!!! I must confess that in these days before strict DUI laws....the rest of the evening was somewhat of a "blur". I sort of remember "Martha" holding my elbow as we got tix to a movie......or did I hold hers ? At the movie ticket window booth,the teller asked "How many?"...and I laughed.... like Ozzy Osbourne ! Heck..I thought he was asking how many drinks we had had ! Lord knows...I don't even remember seeing the movie ! All I could think of... through the thick fog of having had too many drinks with "Martha" at the restaurant was "How in the Hell am I going to get that Plymouth home in one piece !! For that matter...how did it get to the movie theater in the first place ? At least "Martha" was not bored ! When we arrived home....and to this day I do not know how....I had the steering wheel in a two hand death grip. I was afraid to take my hands off it to try to kiss "Martha" goodnight for fear that I might not be able to find it (the steering wheel) again. I mumbled "G'night Marf daa"...and I heard her open the passenger side door. The next thing I heard was "KERPLUNK." She had fallen out onto the ground. I very slowly turned my head to the right,still gripping that wheel,and I couldn't see her. As I silently asked myself, "Where's Marf daa" .....I saw a hand slowly rise up from the ground... and slam, the car door shut. I started to put the car in reverse...but remembered that I shouldn't back up yet for fear of running over "Marf daa." Thankfully,I still had the headlights on....and saw her crawling like a dog through the headlight beams to the back screen door. I clicked the beams onto "high" so she could see how to crawl easier to the screen porch door. I thought it to be the gentlemanly thing to do..cuz I still had a death grip on that Plymouth steering wheel. I remembered that "Marf daa" managed to crawl to the proch door,get it open.... and then collapsed about 3/4 of the way in ..... with both feet hanging out the door. Glad it was warm weather that night. In my mind,I can still see the tan tread of her plimsole Hush Puppies shining at me to this day, thanks to the highbeam headlights of the Plymouth. I called her the next day...and she said Dad... The Reverend.... was asleep on the sofa...and she crawled right past him into her room !!! To this day....I do not know how I got that Plymouth home in one piece. Years have passed. The Plymouth is long gone.....and so is Martha. I graduated,went to work...and the date passed into history. I have thought of Martha..... and the Plymouth occasionally....and both bring a sly smile to my lips to thsi day. Martha,if you are reading this.....even now.....I hope that you remember and can chuckle at this true story of long ago ! Sincerely, DEL MONTY !! | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 4:46:55 PM | Ok met this guy on here with the most amazing blue eyes ever.
We decide to meet at a club, me with my fren n him with his frenz. everything was going great til one of his frenz was flirting with me and he got jealous. He kept asking me "am i wasting my time? cos i know what i want" bla bla bla.. i thought it was weird that we just met and all, but like i said, he had the most amazing baby blues.
We had fun, went bar-hopping. he's hilarious and we go to our own respectable homes. The next day we want to see each other and he opens up and tells me about his family, his past etc. i figure, this guy has to be real to open up such a sad childhood.
We meet a few times during the week, both of us working and me schooling so it's jus for a couple hours or so.
The next week, he doesn't answer his phone. i use another phone to call, and there'a reply. Hmm... he said his brother was using his phone and he was out of town.
The day after we make plans to meet but he doesn't call or SMS or anything. I'm getting pretty mad by this time and wondering why I even wasted my time. He then messages me online and says he is in a different city solving family problems. I say ok and he says he'll let me know when he'll be back.
The next day i go clubbing with my frenz and who do i see? HIM with 2 girls and his buddies. I was FUMING and he didn't even say hi. We went to go give him a piece of our mind (punch in face) and he literally, physically RAN away.
All in all, i was so mad and shocked i drove poorly and got 2 tickets.
THAT was my introduction to white guys and Edmontonian guys in general. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 6:13:30 PM | I chated with someone recently and we made plans to meet. He asked that we meet at a nearby mall, so I agreed. When I got there, he admited he didn't have a car, so would I mind driving to the restaurant... no problem. We get there and he offers to pay for a starter salad - not much more cuz he doesn't have that much cash... then he suggests going for a coffee - this gets better... "let's go to the drivethru". Fine - I pull up to the little box, place the order.. get to the window and he says "do you have any money?"... then he has the b*lls to ask if I'll take him back to my place..! I said, sorry, but it's getting late and I'm tired. The next day I get an email asking if I'm confused about my feelings for him.... UNBELIEVABLE!! | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 6:38:34 PM | Tspence...IMO, it's you that has the issues...
Really? I'm not the one contacting people and jerking someone around. I think it's pretty clear by the chat transcript I intended to figure out what her ultimate intentions were so I could know if we were going to meet or not. It didn't work out and I'm glad I pressed for answers or I'd still be stuck in chat-hell.
if you expect to be 'exclusive' with someone you've spoken to for a week,
Online dating to me I guess means if you're talking to someone and want to meet, you should do everyone involved the courtesy of not making other date plans with other people until you know whether this person is someone you want to date or not. I don't want to play the game of thinking I have a date one minute and then not hearing from her the next minute. That's annoying and I won't participate in that.
then you had better make that known right upfront in your profile.
I expect it's common courtesy or maybe I'm expecting too much respect?
Reading what you wrote to this girl puts you in the scary stalker/bunny boiler mode, IMO; it makes you look desperate to find someone, not 'romantic'
Hardly. I am no longer in contact with this woman and I'm supposed to be a stalker according to you? Based on what? Come on man, you're reaching there.
...And saying you wasted your time doesn't make you any more attractive to someone.
I wasn't trying to be attractive at that point. I was saying 'shame on you' and leaving. Get that right. Who are you? Her using another profile? Where did you get that I cared anymore about what happened after I saw her clearly making plans to meet up with other people and not me? At least I had the guts to call her on it before she played anymore string-along games. She was wasting my time. Plain and simple. That was pretty clear by her disinterest in the chat and clear attempts to try and be a total jerk.
If by emailing for a week and then pressuring someone to meet and do things the way you want them to is doing your 'part' then you still have a lot to learn about being in a relationship with another person.
Again, I wasn't pressuring. I simply wanted to know what her deal was. Was she going to meet or not. If not, don't waste my time. Get real. I was not interested in her from the beginning of the chat. I merely wanted to get her to say what I already knew. She wasn't interested and then I could just move on. If I was misinterpreting her, then I was going to find out. Turned out, I was right. Better off knowing.
If you want a stepford wife type of woman, as your comments to this woman suggests, then you had better put that in your profile...
What are you talking about? You mean expect common courtesy? To expect to be told she's not interested sooner instead of used for a chat friend? Then yeah, if that's what you mean by a "stepford wife". You're WAY off in all your interpretations on this one.
I'm sure there are a few out there who would accommodate you - but no one with any brains would put up with this type of behavior - especially from someone they hadn't even met yet.
I had been the one who was having something "pulled" on him and it was time to put that crap to an end. I wasn't going to tolerate someone playing games and wasting my time. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 6:55:56 PM | First, thanks to all for the enjoyable evening I've had reading your posts!
#1 - Met this guy from the personals. Nice enough looking, shy nervous guy, we meet for drinks at a local bar. We had a fairly decent conversation altho he kept bringing it back to religion. At this point, he starts making comments on some of my pro-feminist statements about how "that's not biblical" etc. So finally we're talking about some sociological trend, he says, "Well of course, that's all because of women." I said, "Huh?" He goes on to tell me that all the evil and bad things and sin in the world are because of women because Eve was the first to bring sin into the world. I laughed at him and got up and left.
#2 - My stupid boss fixed me up with his loser cousin. I should have known things were bad when the guy BROUGHT AN EXTRA SHIRT because he sweated so much! Still, I figure I might need to be nice to the guy since he's related to my boss...so we meet in separate cars to go out to eat, have a couple of drinks, etc. I realize the guy is harmless, just a complete dork. So we go to my condo to watch a movie. It's some kind of movie with alot of African Americans in it. When my date started telling me about the impending rac war that will occur in the US, I told him that was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard and for him to go home! At first he kind if nervously laughed like he couldn't believe I didn't agree with him...but he got the point when I told him to get out and don't call me again!
#3- Met this guy from a personals ad (before internet dating sites, early 90s). He seemed to be obsessed with himself but I figured what the hell. Met him at the theatre to see the movie "Alive" (NOT a good first date choice; about a plane crash and soccer players who eat the dead bodies to survive). He's fairly attractive and very tall. So being a movie addict, I like to keep quiet during films. He just can't shut the hell up. He keeps talking incessently about himself even when I shush him! He kept saying "Did I mention I'm also a pilot?" So we're at the point in the movie where the soccer team is on the plane, and the next shot is of the actress playing someone's sister. My date's VERY LOUD audible comment to me (and overheard by almost everyone in the theatre) was, "I wonder who's gonna eat HER?" I handed him my pocorn, told him I needed to powder my nose, made him promise not to eat all my popcorn, left the theatre, got in my car and went home. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 8:34:38 PM | well, mine is not as bad as some of the others here. however, its been a year since i've had contact with a man like that and it was a nice change. or so i thought.
anyways it all started when i just got tired of being single and in need of a cuddle buddy. so i found this site and signed myself up. my first message was from this fairly cute guy and so i messaged him. we talked, called and imed for about a week and met up at the end of that week.
the date was agonizing. i decided we should go to dinner because i was starved. he asked a lot about my personal dating experiences, like how many guys ive been with and all that. well im use to these questions, but apparently they arent appropriate on the first date? i dunno. anyway when i turned the question back on him, he just said that his number was definatly more than mine. whatever. i felt like conversation was like pulling teeth. it wasnt like this chatting. what happened? was he not interested?
after dinner we went for a walk, to walk off the food we just had. and he kept trying to play punch me. was he nervous? i dunno
then he decided he wanted to see a movie. so we went to see a movie. i mean he was nice enough, except for the awkward questions, silence and punching.
i didnt think he would call again but he did, and wanted a booty call! wtf? | |

Have to say..have not had a "Bad date" yet.
Well...maybe "I" was the " bad date " once, or twice...(and cringed all the next day..that count?) 
I've had boring dates. Going-nowhere dates. Lame dates. Futile dates. Cheap dates. Weird dates. Confused dates.
But...never a Bad Date.

Gal would not share picture but assured me that she worked at the Playboy Club at 18. I meet her, and she looks like Homer Simpson with a wig. She also brings her bratty 12 year old daughter, AND gangster-looking male friend (tattoos included) to the meeting. I feed them all! The ganster and her drag off the same cigarette during the meal, and I find out that he lives with them. Ugh.
I date a spooky little thing who is sooooooo selfish it would make your head spin. I could write chapters, but this will suffice: She calls and asks me to meet her at her house...I drive 1 HOUR to see her, and she is gone. I sit on her porch for TWO HOURS in the winter waiting. She never shows, never apologizes...
ONE gal asked me to pay her rent on THE FIRST DATE. Nice....
ONE gal who told me she was divorced was not; her husband came up to me during a dinner date and punched me in the face. Fun...
ONe date was seriously mentally ill; cute as a button but looney as a fruitcake. She started crying after taking off her clothes....
One date was a cokehead. She should have told me, but I figured it out after her dealers threatened to kill me (after robbing me)....
OH! and then there is the lady who I dated a while, and we decided to be intimate...RIGHT BEFORE we're to do the deed, she tells me her EX is an IV drug user....WHAT?!?!?! Geez, THAT killed the mood...and, NO, we didn't do it!
I could go on and on....
my talk about always chosing the wrong girl!..
don't you ever pick one that wasn't a mess? | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 8:51:59 PM | Haven't had a baaaaaad date in years but one stands out.
Many years ago, when cell phones were just new on the market, I went out with a guy who had just bought one. Literally an extension of his p**is, he talked on the phone all through dinner. He even wanted me to talk to his friend. I finished my dinner, excused myself to the bathroom, called him from the pay-phone next to the bathrooms and said I was leaving. As we say in Dutch: "Op geruimed staat netjes". Loosely translated as "good riddance to bad garbage."

Posted: 7/15/2007 9:41:59 PM | Worst date in EVER!! Gotta tell you gals out there. Beware of the older guys that are pushy and very needy. They don't take no for an answer and have a lot that they think they need to prove.
My story - went on a date with this guy who was way older than anyone I had ever dated - I think he was 59. (Old Balls) . Pleasant enough and all, but no fireworks. However, I don't need that instant gratification thing from our younger days so I agree to another date. Turns out I meet someone who sweeps me off my feet and I have to cancel the date.
Fast forward - whirlwind romance with Mr. Sweep Me Off My Feet. He's a drunk - keeps it pretty hidden, but I figure it out and I'm back out there. Word gets back to Old Balls through a colleague friend of ours that I'm back on the market. He calls and we make a date and he comes to pick me up (first mistake - always take your own transportation). So we end up going back to his 'town'. Park in his garage and walk down to the downtown area. Okay - nice evening, nice meal and then go to the nightclub. Good band - he's okay, but definitely no sparks for me. He plies me with wine (Second mistake - I'm an adult and should know better - no one poured the wine down my throat, but it went down easy and yee haw - I'm a bit inebriated. Should not have drunk that much!!) So, we go back to his place and he's had too much to drive me home, I've had too much to drive myself home in his car, so I say - "well, I'll just sleep on the couch.".. He objects and says - "No, take the bed - I'll sleep on the couch." Well that lasted about 12 seconds and he was in the bed. I'm in lala land...just want to sleep. Unfortunately, he and his little friend down under had different ideas...he did not leave me alone all night.............AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh.
So...he takes me home the next morning and I then get an e-mail from him about him going out of the country for business and he'll call and whatever when he gets back from his trip. This is Sunday morning - he's leaving the country on Friday and he doesn't have time to make a freakin' phone call over the next 5 days? Whoa! Then 2 weeks later, I have an e-mail from him asking what my schedule is and can we meet. I tell him that I don't want to make dates over e-mail and that he's pretty much striking out. Mr Ego (aka Old Balls) doesn't get it and e-mails back that he's confused about my cool response (like I was going to be dying to be with him again!) Finally - I agree to meet him for dinner - I drive myself (learn from your mistakes!!) and meet him. I explain my 'coolness' - ie you don't molest someone for a whole night and then send them an e-mail. And you don't come back from out of town and send an e-mail. I don't care where you are going out of town to - it's the technology age - we are all connected. Freakin' CALL!! Make it a little more personal. And...he is all Mr Smooth (aka Old Balls) and I explain to him that I felt a little taken advantage of and that I would never have slept with him that soon, etc. He thinks its funny and he tells me - Actually admits to me - ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??? He tells me that he took 2 Viagras at the nightclub where we were that night. HUH????????? I was OUTRAGED!! I found him incredibly pathetic and decided then and there that I was having no more of THAT BS!! Well, then - adding insult to injury - he brags to this mutual colleague's son and his friends who are also in the business that he was "with" me. That was IT...I sent off a d 1-2 punch e-mail and put him and his OLD BALLS in place. He responded with a - "Wow, where did that come from? response" and wanted to meet and have closure. WTF???? Loser....That was date rape ...no more, no less.
Now - I date younger guys and no artificial 'helpers'. If the equipment works and there is some electricity, then I'm good. Maybe we'll go there or maybe not, but it's not a one sided decision - ever again!! | |

Posted: 7/17/2007 5:13:03 PM | I've had my share of horrible dates. The most recent one was when I went to meet this guy who had been an employee of mine. I recalled his name, but not his face. He had found me on another dating site and wanted to meet. After 3 weeks of emails, I agreed to do so. We agreed to meet at the park and he would have his kids. I get there and his youngest daughter asks me if I'm going to be her new mommy. She then proceeds to tell me about when her mom and her mom's boyfriend brought her to the park and tells me that her mom is on marijuana. This girl is only 3 years old. I'm like well, maybe he just had married a bad apple and that's why they divorced.
So, the guy and I agree to go to a nearby town after he brings kids to sitter and get some dinner. I get into the car and it is covered in junk. Cigarette butts on the floor. Seriously, disgusting. He tells me it's his roommate's car because his is in the shop. I decide to go on and go out to eat. He tells me he needs to stop by Wal-mart to cash his tax refund. I was like, okay. Well, we get there and they can't cash it because it's over a certain amount. Then, as we go to get back in the car, the alarms start to go off and he can't get them to shut off. While we are doing that, he starts telling me about how this is making him want a joint. And numerous other things.
After the alarms going off for 15 mins, I have had enough. I walk into Wal-mart and call my Dad on my cell phone and ask him to come get me. He is unable to but tells me he will call around to see who can get me. I go back outside to see if the alarms were fixed and tell the guy I want to go home. He still can't get it to quit going off. I tell him I have to use rest room. I go in and hide in the restrooms for about 30 mins. I call everyone in my phone book, but no one is able to come get me. I finally start hiding in woman's intimates because I don't want him to come find me. He walks all around continuously calling my phone. I finally get a call from my grandma saying she is outside and hop in the car with her. | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 3:23:44 AM | One of my first dates.
We had been chatting for a while and decided to meet.
We met at a restaurant and I instantly knew she was not for me.
We had parked in the same area. When we came back to our cars (at 11 pm) she said she would like to see me again. I told her I didn't think we were a good fit.
She immediately started to cry. I didn't know what to do and we just stood there for a while. I couldn't leave her there alone at 11 pm. She finally went to her car and sat with her face in her hands crying. I was sitting in my car again not knowing what to do. This went on for about 15 minutes. She finally left and I was relieved.
When I got home she started to text me. 30 text messages later it was 7 in the morning. Her final text said 'I'm calling in sick!!'.
She then started to call me the whole morning. I ignored the calls but finally answered and told her I would call the police if she didn't stop. She finally did.
Great experience. | |

Posted: 8/15/2007 9:32:04 PM | I had a good date with no chemistry. He told me this funny story about one of his bad dates.
He met a woman on the net, agreed to meet her at Carrabba's for dinner. He was waiting outside and saw her car pull up. He said, she was REALLY REALLY homely and not at all as her pics portrayed. He had gotten one of the little buzzers because there was a long line. Whenever she walked up, he said, hey, let's go to Smokey Bones(next door) because this line is too long. Meanwhile, he still has the buzzer in his pocket. He said while they were seated at Smokey Bones, the buzzer went off twice and he talked a bit louder so she wouldn't hear. He later tossed it. | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 7:40:05 AM | OP I got one for you. This post sure does bring back memories lol, and not good memories! This happened years ago, but I had a date with a gal I'd met at some online singles site. She lived on the north side of Indianapolis so it was about a 90 minute drive for me to get there. Ok so I pull into the eating establishment we'd decided on, and a few minutes later she pulls in next to my car. She gets out of her car, walks over to me, tells me I'm not attractive enough for her, gets back in her car and drives away. I had a 90 minute drive home, and it was NOT a very pleasant drive lol.

Posted: 8/16/2007 4:39:09 PM | Worst first date I didn't know was horrible until 10 months later. Guy seems incredible - found out when I dumped him for cheating on me that the first date I had - he had bought all new clothes, new shave, hair cut, shoes - whole 9 yards for personality make over and appearance...After we broke up and met one last time to finish the exchange of crap - he shows up like something out of a horror flick. Asked him what the deal was and he said he pretended to be what he thought I wanted....me clueless - whole new wardrobe...go figure....never again.

Posted: 8/16/2007 5:09:35 PM | Well all off my dates have been great, but the aftermath has left me just a little bewildered at some of the pitfalls of saying sorry but I don't think we are compatible....I have had one woman haunting me in the forums spreading nothing but crap...lets see if she shows up just to say how bad the date was lol..
No names no pack drill...
So I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bad date or just bad dates (as in the person)... | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 5:14:38 PM | When my brother was on the site briefly he met a woman who seemed very nice... they met liked each other and the second time they met she told him she had some kids ( over 18) who had some problems, and she was also having some financial problems... the third time they met, she has cancer and hepatitis... also herpes ( but wasn't active or broekn out and she was not contagious).... she said she wanted to be honest with him because she liked him and did not want to keep secrets or for him to run off later because of the issues.
yikes. she was nice.. a nice person .. BUT !!!! wow !!!
anyway,
he ran like a bat out of hell, dropped his profile and that was it for internet dating for him.
that was a pretty bad experience I guess.. more so for someones first online date. | |
