Online Dating

Regular dating as in randomly meeting men at supermarkets, movies, parties and through friends etc have not been working so I figured what the hell why not try online dating. What exactly do I have to loose? Nothing! Or so I thought because so far I can say that it has been an absolute waste of my time and money. I have gotten a few dates but nothing to get all happy about but the thing that’s crazy is the emails I have gotten. I mean I knew men can be distasteful, however men online are down right ridiculous. It seems hiding behind a year old picture has given them the confidence to be blunt, rude and just blasted… yes I said blasted… BOLD!

But so far I have just ignored and moved on to the next. However I seem to have a stalker from www.interracialmatch.com. For the life of me I do no understand why you would post yourself online and not post a picture. However this one man has continuously emailed me requesting that I email him so he can send me a picture. Well my thought is… if you have to hide your picture …you are either married, a liar, ugly or just someone that I do not need to get mixed up with. I mean he could very well be a nice guy but the continuous emails with no picture are just crazy. As a last attempt to get my attention the following was the last email I got on 1/3/08:

I know that I am writing a lot and I hope that you do not think I am weird. But each time I lay my eyes upon your profile I am hopeful that I will be able to speak with you. You are beautiful and seem to be endowed with all that I would like to spend time with. I realize that I do not have a picture posted and I would be glad to send you one directly. My direct email address is _ _ _ _ _ _ _now2000 at yahoo. Here is a poem I wrote today:

Resting in dark corner of a widow less room
Standing firm in defiance of the obscurity that seems to engulf my every thoughts
A glimpse of light appears
Streaming hope
Beaming warmth
Envisioning her rays covering me
Defeating the cancerous descend into oblivion
Rising above the atrocities of my heart
Rooting out my inner desires
One by one
Into a new order of tranquility
While teasing me with what tomorrow should be?
I would really like to speak to you.


How exactly so I respond to this…faceless man?

He's a poet and well, I guess he knowed it? LOL. Yeah, this is why online dating, and pretty much dating of any kind, are off the To Do list for me. No crazies here.

Well, besides myself.
