Online losers and duds

So I be talking with this lady who has been trying the internet dating thing. Yes, sure she gets the usual duds who live in their parents basement and need their parent's permission to borrow the car.

She also got the muscular guy who texted he wanted to go out with her, and she told him about a club near by her she wished to go to that night only to have Mr. Muscles tell her he couldn't date her that night because it was a gym night.

Then there was the Egyptian working in Washington, DC (doing God knows what) who promised her $100 if she would come by his home and cook a meal for him with promises of romantic candlelight dining. She explained to him a date is about the man taking the woman out, not visiting the man at home. His texted reply was she wasn't that attractive anyway. <A provable lie> Two weeks later out of the blue the Egyptian texted again to tell her he would give her a second chance to if she would come to his house. She ignored the text only to get another a few days later calling her a c*nt and a worthless bi*ch.

A coworker told her about a single US Park Police man she knew and gave a Facebook page. My friend messaged the man and got many useless texts in return. Hi. How are you? What are you doing this weekend? Etc. A useless text every day. Finally after 2 weeks of that my lady friend asked him, are you going to ask me out or what? This was answered with, what are you doing this weekend. She told him she was gong to a club in West Virginia with girl coworkers, but she gave him the address/date and suggested he meet her there. So masculine and handsome he looks in his online Facebook photos. He agreed. At the date and time however he was no show. An hour after she left the club with her coworkers he texted he was still in Baltimore with friends, but maybe another time. Three days later on a 45 (F) degree day he suggested she come hike in West Virginia with him as a first date. When she turned down hiking in the cold as a first date, for the next week he texted, Hi, how are you? What are you doing today? <Working and alive of course.>

By then, online, she had found an ex-marine and ex-army Ranger with 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, who was now civilian and working contract for one of the alphabet agencies. He also scuba dived, had climbed mountains in the Himalayas, and looked (her words) like Adonis. She asked me to vet him, I did, he was real. He asks her out for dinner.. He arrives and tells her he is broke. She is psyched for the date and doesn't care and pays for the dinner. And also the cover charge and other charges at the club next door where they drink and dance. She has him take her home and invites him in. They make out on her couch and she invites him to spend the night. He instead tells her he has to get up in the morning and leaves. The next day he texts her thanks for the meal, asks her what she is doing and tells her he is going camping with some of his male coworkers. My conclusion, Gay or a virgin.

Finally 4 or 5 dud/scammer duds later she connects with a Navy 1st LT who seems really interested and while doing a trip to Pittsburgh suggests they meet for coffee on his return. Cute photos, and again easily vetted by me for her. Totally real. Decent looking too, and single. So they meet at a coffee bar for 3 hours. Hugs on meeting. I saw the selfie, she is hot, hot, hot. Hugs on parting. She expected a kiss on the cheek, but just a long hug. That's okay. A first meeting. I told her he would probably text her in a few hours and ask for a second date. In a few hours he did text. Told her it was lovely and asked what was she doing tomorrow. She said nothing much, expecting and hoping for a time sharing suggestion. Instead he wrote back, i am hanging around my house because Monday will be a work day and I want to rest. I told her don't despair, let him rest, the libido will rise and he will ask you out.
