Delete


A "very strong Christian guy" (his words not mine) emailed me and after one email exchange wanted to know if I believed in pre-marital sex and if not wanted to know (in detail) what i would "do" pre-maritally.

After I ignored him he called me out on it. After I ignored him some more he Facebook requested me. Where do these people come from? Where?

And then he sends me his testimony that states he cheated on his last gf. Sorry dude nothing you have said makes me want to go out with you.

And then he emailed me the next day to see if I still wanted to talk.
ummm does my silence tell you nothing?

He later contacted me no less than 4 MORE times then he updated his profile to say this:
Do not message me if:
You are not a Christian
You live outside the beltway
You are cannot agree to disagree
You are looking for a short term fling and/or money

The third one may or may not have been aimed at me haha.

Intercourse


Boy:Question (based on my profile)
Christian as in you go to church and believe in the bible or Christian as you go to a Bible church?

Me:
all of the above. how about you?

Boy:Not the last one. I prefer intercourse before marriage if I'm dating someone exclusively. Good to be honest. Hopefully that didn't shock you.
hahahaha um no that didn't shock me. that's what 99.9% of males prefer.




um where do you live?


I just received this email:

No response after my last 2 emails

Hi,

I have to be honest with you. I have never gotten a frosty reception online before...so this is pretty humbling experience for me. I don't mean to be rude but I have to ask why you didn't even give me a courtesy response after all the effort I made to getting your interest. I'd love to know.
I actually didn't remember this guy so i went back to look at his previous 2 emails.
the first:
Liked your profile
Hey,

I came across your profile and it looks like we might have some chemistry from the things you are looking for. I hope it's all true though. ;-) I'd like to know more about you. Hit me back and we'll chat.



PS I live in NYC but I travel a lot. I'm actually in DC as I'm writing this.
ok that's fine-although his profile said he lived in LA which is why i didn't even glance at his emails. He also signed his name as a different name on all three emails.

the second:

Ahem, oh, excuse me...oh, hi
Hey there,

I sent you an email a few days ago and wasn’t sure why you never responded. I figured there might be reasons why you haven't replied yet:

-You only date guys that like to watch your favorite shows like Bridezilla, Dance Moms, and Say Yes to the Dress.

-Your hair picked up some bad BO and you have to wash your hair at least 10 times…so strange.

-You are going thru one of those non-stop Nicholas Sparks movie moments, watching the Notebook, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John, with a huge bowl of your favorite Rocky Road ice-cream…oh happy bliss.

-You got in a fight with your shoe closet and you lost so you have to spend the entire week cleaning and rearranging it…damn those shoe sales.

-George Clooney might drop by and is taking you to Vegas to get married…Congratulations, you did it. You got George Clooney to finally marry someone. ;-)

Ok, jokes aside, from your profile I think we share a lot in common so hence my second email. They say persistence is the key to getting what you want in life. Luckily, I have that so I’ve giving you my friendly nudge. If you enjoyed reading this or laughed, then you’ve got return the favor. What’s your name?


ok sort of funny but also sort of annoying. i looked at his profile again and my response:
RE:

1. your profile says you live in LA so i didn't even look at the emails.
2. your profile also says you are spiritual but not religious and i am looking for a strong Christian who goes to church regularly.
3. i get an average of 10 emails a day so if for whatever reason i don't think I'm interested i don't usually have the time to follow up on all of them.
my apologies.
Guys: if a girl doesn't respond after the first email-she's probably not going to.move on.

No, no, disco!

So I was out with my friend Chuck and a group of his friends including his best friend Edmundo. Chuck insisted Edmundo tell me allllllll about his business, to which he initially acted all shy - but he quickly informed me that he runs a dating service. Well, not necessarily a dating service - but a set of classes for guys who want to learn how to pick up chicks. 6 classes cost $2,500, and in-class group sessions, individual coaching, and on-the-scene practice. Edmundo says that he and his business associate will take students to bars where they're friends with the bartenders. In his words their job is to, 'Give guys confidence to approach pretty girls.' uh huh, sure.


If I were telling you this story face-to-face, this is where I would interject - have you heard of The Game? It's a book that turned into a VH1 show, and maybe a movie or something. From what I understand, it teaches guys how to prey on girls' insecurities in order to ask them out. I will absolutely never pay to purchase the book, so I'm still a little in the dark. Anyway, Edmundo's business is based on this book (which on the evening that I met him, I knew nothing about).


So we went from American Ice Co. to the Getaway (which hadn't opened yet) to pick up tacos... finally we ended up at Marvins. Sound familiar? Yes, most of my date stories go awry at Marvins. I haven't mentioned this yet, but Edmundo was not attractive. I mean, he was probably 45, had purple circles under his eyes, and quite a bit overweight. Plus, he thought he was smooth - which to me is a turnoff. Don't think you're smooth, my friend, be smooth.


Here's another thing: I know flirting, and I had not been flirting. So when Chuck disappeared (thanks a lot, bud) and I glimpsed Jason across the rooftop, I decided to get out of there. Edmundo insisted on walking me the 2 blocks to my house. I tried insisting back, but when Edmundo tried to put the moves on me I really insisted. Gross. It's ironic that someone who makes a living teaching men to read women's signals missed the ones I was saying loud and clear, "Ok, Edmundo that's enough. I'll walk myself home from here." I don't recommend the classes.
