OT..online dating
Wow Diane, I wish you the best of the best. I've been on POF since last August, and only a month ago finally found an interest. His profile was very interesting, and said he's a psychologist. I Emailed him through the site, and he said to call him, so several days later I did. He wasn't conversational, but was adamant about meeting in person first. We met at a little restaurant here in Hopkins. I got there, he was sitting at the first booth, and first thing he said "now you know this is Dutch, right?" I said I'd expected it to be. We ordered, and for him supposedly being a psychologist had very flat 'people' skills, and just flat short answers to my general questions. He at quickly, went to the restroom, then came and told me he had to leave for 'an appointment'. Sheesh, I sat there, finishing my breakfast, and the waitress came and asked me if I had a date with that guy. I said yes, mentioning meeting online. She said he's in there at least once a week, ALWAYS with a different female, and never there more than half an hour, that he's 'bery weird, creepy, and strange, and told me to be very careful.' I told her my profile has a Minnetonka zip code, because Hopkins is so small and I'm always walking all over the place, so wanted that anonymity. I had a better time chatting and laughing with her! When I left, went a half block away to a grocery store, walking around, looking, just to ensure he wasn't waiting or watching for me. From there, I meandered home in a round-about way, constantly looking all around, making sure he wasn't following me. Got to my building, and still nothing suspicious. Thankfully, haven't heard from him since! Sheesh! I have not gone into POF, even though I regularly receive Emails of 'new matches'.
Several weeks before that, there was a substitute bus driver one Sat. morning going to work. We really hit it off well, and it was fun the fifteen minute ride to work. At that stop, he said how much he enjoyed my sense of humor and company and asked for my phone number. I only give the cell number. I got off the bus, and noticed it did not take off right away like they always do. Got to work, and he'd called me FOUR times between nine and two o'clock. I didn't call back, and he called often that evening, including one at 10:30 p.m. when I was in bed to get up early the next morning. I did answer when he'd called the next evening, and sheesh, he asked if I was a good kisser...then if I was good in bed...yuck, not a guy I want to get to know! So I do wish you well--several years ago I was on True.com, and liked that site! Really liked the personality profiles, because the matches were very very close to my expectation. Gotta quit here before this ends up being a novel! Take care of you! Hugs galore, Patti
