So my sister (younger) IMs me the other night (mind you, she's in her room and I'm in mine, yes, we're lazy like that, haha).
S: "Umm, I have something to tell you"
Me: "What?"
S: "A few weeks ago I put an ad up on match.com, you know, just for fun" (yeah right, we all know she's on there to meet someone, but whatever
S: "And that guy Ken that you used to date e-mailed me. I don't think he remembers me"
Of course, I start laughing at this. He broke up with me over the phone about a year ago after we went out for 2 months...and he e-mailed me on myspace like a month and a half ago, out of the blue, saying hello. We chatted briefly and I haven't heard from him since.
But here's the kicker...my sister is on his friends list on myspace! And he didn't make the connection, or he just has a thing for sisters....apparently there is something in her profile about cross stitching and he e-mailed her saying "okay, anyone in their 20's that likes to cross stitch is someone that I have to talk to, so drop me a line if you'd like".
I told her "you should write him back and say 'yes, I like to cross stitch things for my older sister, WHO YOU DATED!'" OR get him to ask her out on a date and have him come here and pick her up and I'll answer the door...OR say "I'm going to be out with friends for a drink, why don't you meet me after" and I would be sitting there with her after.
It was so funny, I'm just disappointed in my sister for not messing with him more. She just e-mailed him and said "Actually, we're friends on myspace, and actually we've met before when you dated my sister".
Yeah, glad to be rid of that one...



That's funny.
I had the almost exact same thing happen to me about three years ago. I had dated this guy for about five months. At the end, things weren't going so well and I ended things with him. (I think he wanted me to - it was one of those where he didn't want to be the "bad guy" so he just ignored me most of the time).
It wasn't more than two days when my sister got a message from him on Match. (He didn't make the connection either - they only met once. But *she* remembered him and she told me about it.)
I was over at her house when she got him on IM. She chatted with him for a few minutes and finally made some comment about "meeting before." He said, "Well, I don't think we've ever met before, have we?" She said, "Yeah, when you were dating my sister, Michelle!!"
And that's when *I* got on chat with him. I wasn't rude to him - just told him it was nice to see that he had moved on so quickly and that I had made the right decision for the both of us. I told him to have a nice life.
Do guys not click on people's friends on myspace? I know I do especially if I am bored. He probably knew it was your sister all along, just didn't care ; ) To give him the benefit of the doubt though, he may just be dense.
