Dating disasters
2012-13 was the first time that I ever tried Online Dating. That wasn't successful, and I tried again in 2018. Two of the sites that I had joined were "Badoo" and "Mingle", and one of them was the source of my greatest dating disaster.A man that I chatted with online for a few weeks worked 'off-shore', was single and 50, but still living with his mother (who didn't seem to trust him much). We first met at a restaurant, and although something about him appeared a bit 'off' to me, I ignored it. We went to the beach, and, in his already inebriated state, he made sure to stop along the way to visit his 'friends/family members' before getting there. I helped him find an apartment, which, I found out he never inhabited (weeks later). I invited him to church and, again, he showed up inebriated. We were to attend an end-of-year concert in his area, but he sounded so 'out of it' on the phone, I didn't go.
When I finally admitted to myself that dating him was 'un-productive' (about 6 months later than I should have), I told him so, he complained vociferously and I left the scene immediately. Of course, he was inebriated again. The next day, he was even more so, as he swayed and drifted from the fast-food restaurant that he was at, on his way to my parked car, mumbling to himself and fishing in his pockets for the $ that he owed me.
What a disaster that was!!!! And that was a shortened version.
Any scary stories to share?...Anyone...

If you really are looking for a partner I advice you to look into your surrounding world.I had the same problem as you once till I realised someone in my immediate circle had a crush on me ... and it was love at first sight.
I don't have any scary stories to share, only silly ones instead ....
and perhaps too silly to mention.

Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you CW. Silly me was not reading the signs, and was trying not to be too judgemental.
