I recently posted about my friend making me sign up for online dating. I made a super shitty profile, no display picture, my about me is two paragraphs of sass, and yet guys still message me. You would think that just by reading my profile, they’d understand I’m not serious about being on this site. The only reason I check it is because my friend texts me 5 times a day saying, “Have you checked your messages today?”, “Have you messaged anyone today” and all this other bologna. She’s so keen on being more social and meeting men, and needs to know that someone else is doing it with her.
There’s this guy who messaged me who seems pretty cool. We have one thing in common worth noting: Hockey. But he’s way too eager. His first message consisted of the words “I like you already!” Because 1) I’m a Leafs fan and 2) I’m cheering for the Bruins. That’s fine you like me and all, but don’t say that in your first message. I replied (nicely). His message back included his BBM and phone number. I told him not to expect a text from me, because I’m peculiar on who has my number. Then, he invited me to chat (like MSN, Facebook chat) I accepted. It was a decent conversation until he forced his digits on me, again.
Inhale, exhale.
Oh, and today he messaged me when I was at work wondering if I wanted to get coffee with him this afternoon. I replied when I got home from work:
Me: I was at work all day.
Him: We could get coffee tonight.
Me: I don’t drink coffee. (which is true, I wasn’t intentionally being a bitch)
Him: Jesus, you’re difficult. Well, we could grab ice cream or a drink.
Me: Yet, you keep persisting. (that time I was intentionally being a bitch)
Him: Haha - You’re also saying you don’t eat ice cream or drink?
And I have yet to reply.
Seriously, online dating is a fucking joke. These guys are either 1) Looking for sex 2) Too persistent (meaning they are lonely as fuck) or 3) Can barely engage a half decent conversation.
My ideal relationship is long distance. I have my own life, he has his own life. I text/call when I have the time to text/call, he calls when he has the time to text/call. I will make time to visit him when I have vacation time, he will make time to visit during his vacation time. Never will we take vacation at the same time. My independence is what keeps me grounded, I will not let any man or relationship interfere or ruin that. Ever.
In other words, don’t even bother trying to date me.
