Years ago when I used to use the dating sites for dating, I had quite a few dates. I never had a bad experience unless you count boredom on a date a bad experience. I had a few of those. But I also had a lot of very fun dates and really never disliked any of the girls I met. A few became good friends over the years. There was some romance here and there, but I’m not easy to warm up to and I have a standoffish personality with women so I never let them get too close. Eventually, the ones who are interested in me give up.

But there were a couple of things that happened during my dating site extravaganza that were particularly memorable.

The first one happened I’m going to say maybe 7-10 years ago, I don’t remember exactly. It was on MD. Some here will know what that is.

I got a very strange message from a woman who claimed to be a matchmaker for celebrities and she said she had a client interested in meeting me. My first reaction was yeah right. I mean I am about the last person a scammer would ever want to waste their time on. I was sure it was a scam.

So she asked if we could talk on the phone and she would tell me more. As skeptical as I was, I was still intrigued, so I told her okay provided I can call her instead of her calling me. And I asked her to be sure to give me her office number so I can look it up and trace it to her business. She did! I did! It was! I was shocked at that point. In fact that number was registered to a dating agency that specializes in finding dates for celebrities. And I even went on their website and saw a profile of this woman that contacted me there. Couldn’t believe it was legit.

So anyway I called her and she told me something about this woman including a basic physical description but could not reveal anything that would identify her because she would have to remain anonymous until we met. That was the rule. It would be a blind date. Hmmmmmmm. I don’t do blind dates, but I didn’t say anything. She said she was a very well known actress who had homes in both New York, and California and was taking a break in between sessions shooting a movie overseas. I mean if I didn’t know this woman was legit, I wouldn’t have believed a word I was hearing.

So I asked her why this woman wanted to meet me. She said she thought I was attractive and liked the things I said. Okay now I was REALLY suspicious! ;-)

So I told her that I wanted to think it over and would get back to her. I thought it over and decided not to do it. I just couldn’t get passed the blind date thing. She would know what I look like and something about me, but I knew pretty much nothing about her. That just made me uncomfortable.

I still don’t regret it, but I do wonder, every time I think about it who it was. I will never know...

Okay the second story.

I was on another dating site. Can’t remember which one it was. This girl had something in her profile that caught my attention and I wrote her a short note to comment on it. She didn’t have a picture posted in her profile, and in those days that was a no go for me as far as dating because it was just a waste of time if I met someone and wasn’t physically attracted to her.

Her name was Kitty.

Is it when your toes curl? when your heart beats fast?

What is it?

You've been ghosted when the person who was messaging / emailing / texting so often suddenly goes quiet. Whoosh. Gone. No explanation, not a word, no message, no email. Could be dead. Could be bored. Could have lost their cellphone privileges.



You've been benched when they vanish to pursue other interests, then return all smiles

Hard to know whether you've been ghosted or benched at the time Also hard to know how to react when the ghost reappears as though there had never been a benching. If you like them, I mean.

Kick em inna teeth or act as if you never noticed they'd vanished ...

One question, madam ... Do you like French men? What do you think of us? Would you like to meet a French man? Have you ever met a French man? Give your opinion ...

What can I say? Many years go by and nada. It gets really tough to keep on believing that there is that special someone out there for you. Maybe it's just not in the cards, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can be free of the whole romantic thing? Sometimes I can handle the 'loneliness' situation better than at other times. Right now, all I want to say is: 'Ahm lonely, woman! Git a move on!'

A common question I think that comes up between two people as they are beginning to form a relationship is...what do you want or need from a relationship.

I would be wary of those who want and need too much...or perhaps anything at all.

Wouldn't it be great if people wanted and needed nothing....but instead, were grateful instead.


What a great way to reciprocate love.

proper etiuette in meeting for friendship or more is to use the old reliable telephone time wasters and that is almost everybody think kik , emails, texting is the way to do it. but remembers they are all scammers none meets anymore

Hi . As you probably do yourselves you get people contact on you on here , some straight away seem to good to be true while others in time usually off emails realize there out conning you . I've had that experience: I just wanted to ask as I in contact with someone living in china and she wanted to be together, come here three months and showed me a price for the fares off travel company. And has about half of the money. What do yous think ?? :

You know, this one was wondering about something...
I will say, I've had many step parents. I've seen, and actually been on both sides. I've had girlfriends both older and younger than me. I've noticed, in every instance, it works better with the girl being slightly older than the guy. Anyone else have thoughts or experience to this?
