online are, how should I say it??? ....interesting.

A man who had previously sent me two 1 line emails (and didn't seem that interested) sent me a third email tonight at about 6:00. I was out and got it at 8:30. He asked me to meet him at a restaurant at the mall tomorrow, day or night, and to call him first. WTF? I don't know this guy at all....

I wrote back letting him know that I was busy tomorrow night and that I'd like to get to know him a bit better before we meet (like maybe even a phone call). He immediately wrote back and said, "Thanks anyway, but I am taking a break from dating"...

Totally bizarre!

Yes, the weird, the strange, the bizzare; I've had it all happen to me through OLD.
Don't give that a-- h--- another thought, he probably had a date lined up that fell through and was looking for takers on the last minute, and of course bonus points if he makes it a booty call.

Believe me, I wasn't at all tempted for one second. I just thought it would be a fun story to share.

Here's what I got yesterday.

Last March, I'd been exchanging a couple of e-mails with one guy -- VERY intial stages. Then he sent me a message with MY OWN PICTURE attached and some comments on my appearance. I didn't know people could download your picture and it TOTALLY creeped me out, plus the message made it sound like he would be clingy, needy, obsessive... you know. Plus, I'd had a first meet with someone I liked better. I ghosted.

Well, he'd added me to his e-mail list and would periodically send jokes and creepy inspirational stuff -- you know those e-mails that have been forwarded a zillion times and have seventeen other people's recipient list in them and there's YOUR e-mail address embedded, too? The e-mails were being forwarded from my previous work e-mail address, so I didn't know how to block, since I still needed to receive some of the messages from that address. I asked him to take me off his list and he replied that he would, "even though I don't know who you are or how you got on my list."

Three more stupid e-mails later, I asked again. Still not off. I asked AGAIN, stating that this was my third request, and he fired back "Oh, now I remember you. From Yahoo Personals. What a b**ch you are. Relax. Wow, I'm glad I stopped pursuing you..." etc. etc. for about a page. Six months later a whole page of nasty condemnations of someone you'd exchanged 3 e-mails with. FASCINATING.
