I read an article on the home page of Yahoo the other day about dating errors that men make online. According to David Wygant, a dating coach and author who currently works with Yahoo personals has given us a top ten list. To view them please click on the link to your left. Below I have noted the top 5: 

1. Don’t ask her how much she weighs
2. Don’t email 7 times
3. Don’t ask her how many other dates she’s had
4. Don’t send nasty email
5. Don’t ask for sex

This guy emailed me online several times and I finally responded with one or two word answers because he wouldn’t take the hint the first few times I ignored his emails. I finally felt bad for him because he tried. I understand it takes courage to email someone who may not write back. After we exchanged several emails I thought I’d give him a chance and let him call me. He called me a few days later.  Within 3 minutes into our conversation he asked me how has my online dating experience has been. I immediately told him about the article I read and how this question should not be brought up in the first conversation. He was surprised to hear me say that. I even offered some advice letting him know that he shouldn’t ask that to anyone in the future. It’s almost like asking someone how many people have they slept with.  He ignored what I said and proceeded to say,” why not? So, how many dates have you been on?” I was shocked that he continued with questioning me about my dating history online. I almost directed him to this blog but didn’t want him to think he may end up on it. I refrained and said, “ Do you seriously care how many dates I’ve been on?”

Does he? Does anyone really care about past dating history when you’re trying to see if YOU are going to get to go out on a date with this person? Needless to say this guy wasn’t getting anywhere past this conversation! It seemed like he was more concerned about my dates then myself.

While dining out at a seafood restaurant at the Jersey Shore, my friend and I found ourselves being harassed by the shortest man alive. Since my friend and I are not the mean type we continued to be nice to him, yet keeping the conversation to a minimum, hoping he would soon get the hint and be on his way. Unfortunately, that was not the case. He did not get the hint at all and persisted to try even harder to keep the conversation flowing. He carried on about his job and bragging about his Porsche that was parked in the lot. He then proceeded to sit down at our table. At this point I didn’t know what to do. What the hell is this guy doing? GET THE HINT SHORTY! GET LOST!! WHO INVITED YOU???? As if this was not bad enough that he invited himself to take a seat at our table, our food came and he did not leave. We ordered the grilled shrimp ceaser salad. Starved and wanting to dive into the darn thing we didn’t BC this lil gremlin would not leave our table, welcoming himself uninvited. As we were trying to get the grilled shrimp off of the skewer he proceeded to grab mine and take the shrimp off. I was appalled!! We let it be known that we would appreciate if he would leave and let us enjoy our dinner without him touching our food and groveling over us! He left on a positive note, yet was determined to chase us down when we were leaving making sure we saw his car. Was this guy serious? I don’t care what you’re driving! He probably needs to sit on a phone book just to see over the steering wheel! Why do men not get the hint when women show no interest? Give up and move on SHRIMP!!

My guy friend met a girl at a party. She was very cute after a few drinks and he took her number. The following morning he realized he had lost his memory from the night before and had to trace his steps. His buddy had to remind him that the girl he met was NOT as cute as he originally thought. Therefore her number was immediately “lost”. A few days later he received a text message from this girl letting him know she had a good time and that she wanted to email him pictures from the party they met at.  He thought to himself that he may as well remind himself what this girl looked like and he returned her text message with his email address. After reviewing these pictures he realized he had one too many that evening. And that should NEVER happen again for obvious reasons. As a courtesy, a Thank you email was returned. And that’s when she became a stalker. He received many text messages after that and he did not return any of them and then he received this:
Hi, I just wanted to send you a quick email because I haven’t heard back from you; I sent you a text on Halloween but I didn’t get a response. I know things can get lost in text communication sometimes, so I thought I’d send you an email to see if you’re still interested in pursuing things with me? I understand if you’re not, but if you can let me know either way, I would appreciate it. :o) Thanks,

M

Why did she not get the hint when he ignored her several times? Would she really feel better if he emails her back to reject her? I think NOT!

Let’s be honest here. You know when you see a fake Prada or a Gucci bag right? Well what makes men think we don’t see it when they’re being FAKE? Do we look like we were born yesterday? Seriously! I met this guy online (of course), he’s from another state and was coming out here this past weekend to visit a friend. He asked me to go out with him one night and I figured I have nothing to lose. He was a gentleman and called the night before our date and we made plans. The following day he didn’t call all day to let me know when and where we should meet. In the early evening he sent me a text message letting me know what HIS plans are that night. AND they did NOT include me. I wrote him back and said nice meeting you have a nice trip back. I didn’t mind he wanted to go out with his friends but then don’t call me and make plans with me if you’re not going to follow through.  He continued to text me for the rest of the weekend letting me know he will meet up with me no matter where I am. The entire weekend came and went and he NEVER called, he only sent random text messages with, “I’ll come by where ever you are” or “let’s meet up some where later” and the best one was, “On my way to meet you”. Ummm NOT! He didn’t show up after all those wasted text messages back and forth. I finally sent him a text back that said, “Have a safe flight back, it’s cool, you don’t know me and you want to chill with your friends”. He still had the nerve to write me back and say, “No, NO I really want to see you”. C’mon now, who are you talking to?

What’s up with that? Am I supposed to be interested in every single guy that shows interest in me? Is it possible to say NO to someone without that person getting all nasty back to you. For example: I prefer a specific age range as I mentioned in my previous post. I am attracted to men between the age of 30 and 35. Sometimes I will make an exception for someone who is slightly older, up to 38. But that is my final acceptance. I am just not attracted to men that are in their 40’s. Is that allowed? I think so. Anyway, so this dude that emailed me on personals online was in his 40’s. I politely said, thanks but you are out of my age range. Was that wrong? Would it have been better had I ignored his email?Well to make my story short, he wrote back a very mean email. I pasted it below. I have to say… IS HE SERIOUS? Maybe he’s not really 40 and actually 21. He mentions that its all about chemistry. And he’s right, should I tell him that it was his photo that turned me off instead?                                                                                  

Hi,You’re going to find out that as you literally get one year older and turn 30, age means NOTHING.You’re gonna turn 30 and you’ll be in no man’s land. No longer 20s with your physical prime behind you.Life is all about chemistry and connection. Your ridiculous, immature response here, short circuited this connection and will cripple any future connections. You’ll probably wind up marrying a guy 20 years older than you. Life’s irony. Good Luck to you.
