My latest marriage proposal and other dating horror stories from the recent past

Those of you who have done the online dating thing…surely you have

also experienced the regular "email marriage proposals", right? I would

once in a while get long emails of a guy's desire to marry someone from

America, or looking for the perfect mate and knowing immediately from

your profile – that you are the one for them. They then

ask if you are interested in marriage… uhmmm, yeah, before they even

meet you or have a phone conversation!!

So these things

shouldn't surprise me, since I have done online dating and have

experience with this. In addition, I wasn't surprised to get an instant

message the other day from someone who still had my Hotmail email

address from a contact we had made many months ago. Now, I knew we must

have spoken briefly many months ago on a dating site, but I didn't even

remember him; till he sent me his photo…and we had never went out. But

before thirty minutes were up, he was instant messaging me…. "Do you

believe in online marriage?" Yeah, I immediately 'blocked' him from

sending any further messages without reply.

Ok, let's get

real here. Surely, he was kidding… but I don't waste my time to find

out because seriously who has time and because of a few other pretty

unrealistic 'expectations' of sort that have taken place in my recent

dating experience. One such experience was just a few weeks ago and I

emailed a friend of mine about it…. So I saved the email following that

week and will share it here as part of my blog entry.

This guy I saw Saturday night got mad and wouldn't tell me why. We went out on one date that night (a first date, mind you) and he then called me Saturday night later after I got home (at which time we talked) and

again Sunday, etc. ... finally I started getting a little annoyed...

but called him back on Tuesday and it was during this conversation he

said, "So where is this going?" Read more of this blog.....
