OK, ya'll remember Crazy Text Guy that before we even met was pretty much texting me daily with cutesy little messages like "Good morning! Hope you have a super day!", right? He's the guy right before the holidays that I told I was too busy to date which I was but unfortunately, that wasn't strong enough of a blow off because the first time I got back on Match after the holidays, he emails me "So I see you're online, hopefully that means you're not too busy to date?". At that point, I blocked him.

Fast forward to this week. A local friend of mine has just re-joined Match. She was a member over a year ago and like me took a long hiatus, deleted her original profile, yadda, yadda. When she put her profile back up, she got a message from a guy that she had talked to when she was a member before. His emails this time were SO similar to what he'd sent her before that she is convinced they are canned, shotgun emails. So she blows him off after the second canned email - a whole DAY goes by that she doesn't email him. So he sent a reply "I guess you're not interested in meeting me but if I'm wrong, I'd love to hear from you." She and I had been sharing Match stories at dinner the other night and so she forwards this email she got to me saying "Here's that crazy guy I was telling you about!" LO AND BEHOLD, guess who it is? Yup, Crazy Text Guy! As soon as I opened her email, I ran to the phone and called her laughing so hard to tell her the interesting coincidence!

WOW. I am glad that we both dodged that bullet and got to have a good laugh about the whole thing.

Yep. It's true. I'm here to vouch for Vex's accurate rendition of Crazy Text Guy / I'm So Desperate Guy. I have not posted on IV for years but Vex told me she posted the funny story and I thought I'd chime in to say hi! And... what the heck is wrong with these freaks?? I swear, I really really wanted to write him back and say something like, "Dude. Giving girls less than 24 hours to respond before sending them an I'm-freaked-out email is really not the way to win our hearts. Yep. You're right. I'm no longer intersted." But, I was nice. Didn't send a thing. :)
