If you've ever tried out the online dating world, you can surely share some humorous, odd and entertaining tales of the time.
Being single again at 40, I registered on a site and began chatting with several people. I have met lots of men, usually nothing beyond a second date tho', and here's some of the memorable meetings I've had.
One man was very nice in chatting. We met first for coffee and the conversation quickly turned to his 2 children. During the discussion, he casually mentioned what a b!tch his daughter is. I was a little taken aback by that...he said it's just the truth.
One younger, very sweet guy decided it would be a great idea to pelt me with snowballs walking me to my car after our 3rd (& last) dinner date...now I'm all for fun, but I had heels on, and asked him repeatedly to stop. I slipped, nearly fell...I wasn't amused by his playfulness at that moment. He seemed surprised I didn't want to see him again.
One of my favorites is the hardest to write and do it justice. So, I'd been chatting with this dude for a few weeks and thought there was some potential. So we met for lunch at a nice place that I'd never been to, but he had, so I didn't know how the service worked and that is significant later...
Conversation was good, we were chatting more than an hour after eating. I asked him if he would like to join me later that night to see a band (I knew one of the members). He said yes and we exchanged phone numbers.
The server brought the check, and I said that I prefer for us to pay separately for a first meeting. He agreed. I pulled out my card, he said we have to go inside to the desk to pay. We both walk inside together and as we step up to the desk, he hangs back a step...I hand over my card and turn to see him literally craning his neck and bending back to see around the corner....I said his name...he continued ignoring me...having some sort of money-induced seizure activity. The cashier looked at me...I said just put it on mine.
After I signed, he was suddenly conscious again...I said bluntly, you'll pay for my drinks tonight. He said sure!
Now I know you're thinking he no-shows for the evening right? Nope...I pass him getting out of his $40,000 truck as I park my car. He goes inside, not waiting for me...
I texted him, saying I'm outside. I had found a couple friends and thought I'd better just keep an eye on them...he then comes out and I introduce them all. His opening story to tell was how he'd slept 4 hrs after lunch, then his sister bought him dinner...bragging how he got another free meal.
At that point I knew he was a freeloader and he wasn't going to keep his end of the bargain...
There's a lot I've forgotten. Had some unsavory experiences but nothing terribly scary.
I haven't been online since July...I needed a break from that drama. It was fun. It isn't all bad. I met some good guys and made a few friends along the way.
So share your funny stories...

tbh kitty, it sounds a lot like the results of the old fashioned meet and date method. Maybe some things never really change.
