Strange Dating Emails: I Seem To Be Not As I Seem To Be

16 Aug

Been a bit since I have posted here, what can I say the spirit hasn’t moved me, till now. This time the spirit has moved me to add to my list of strange dating emails. You will find links to all of the Strange Dating Emails at the bottom of that page.

As I have often done before, I started up a correspondence with a seemingly interesting and attractive woman on match.com. Her response to my first contact included this line

 

 

But things proceed as usual, we exchange several pleasant emails. She is able to string words together fairly well. Always (well, usually) a good sign. Eventually I suggest we talk on the phone. She agrees, though a bit nervously. A couple of days go by and I get this

 

 

And sure enough her profile has been hidden. Usually when this happens odds are that you never hear from them again. But in an odds defying feat of courage she does indeed call. We have a good time on the phone. It does get a bit strange when we pick a place to meet. She is OK with a Starbucks but when I describe it as being in the South East corner of a big shopping center near her she seems to have difficulty with the concept of South. Not to mention East. Also with the concept of “in the corner closest to where Rt 35 and Rt. 45 cross” as well. Kinda strange as they are the only interstate highways anywhere near Round Rock, where she lives.

But we finally get it figured out, set a time and say goodnight. The next day this arrives in my inbox.

 

 

Having done this for a while I am more annoyed at the wasted time than hurt by her odd reasoning. But still I don’t recall ever suggesting she pay for sex. Nor did I come up with any blatantly racist remarks, make suggestive comments or otherwise behave in a manner that would make mom smack me one, right there, on the top of the head. So who or what she thought I was from reading my profile I was obviously not that person, to her, on the phone.

Out of curiosity of what a couple of my women friends might think of her email I sent her email on. These are women that I had met online and struck up a friendship with. I was using that same profile then too.

 

 

Another friend put it more succinctly.

 

 

Sure can!
