Fitnerd Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I was messaging this one girl, she looked hot and seemed cool. Her profile said that she was 5'5, and I'm 5'11 so it was all good and we exchanged numbers and started texting. She lives a 20-30 minute drive from my city but one night she texts me to say she's going out here with her friends and am I around? As it happens, I am. I'm out with my friends too. After a few drinks me and one of my friends peel off from the group to go and meet this girl in the bar that she's at. Well, the first thing I notice is that she's not 5'5. She's at least 6'3 and that's before the heels that she's wearing. She literally towers over me. Within minutes she's grabbed me and she's aggressively, horribly, eating my face. My friend is sat with her cute friends and I break away for a moment and mouth 'help' to them all... Even her friends are laughing because they know exactly whats going on. My friend disappears. A little while later, so do hers. I can't get away from this girl, I keep making excuses that I need to find my friends etc, but she grabs my arm and won't let go. It's around the time that she starts telling me that she loves me and that are kids are gonna be sooooo beautiful that I go the toilet. I hide there, in the vain hope that she forgets about me. A guy I know comes in and we spend half an hour talking about his tattoos and yada yada, but I know I'm just buying time. Suddenly the door bursts open and she charges into the men's toilets shouting "you're coming with me!" The toilet attendant starts shouting at her to get out and she makes a huge scene, so I just dejectedly trundle back into the bar. She drags me outside and starts to immediately hail a taxi. "You're coming back to mine and we're going to make sweet love and you can stay for days and we'll just be in love and together" is the kind of stuff she's saying. I'm coming up with all of my excuses. "I have no money left, I feel sick and can't get in a taxi, I need to find my friends, I don't put out on the first date..." It's not washing. She's planning our marriage already. At this stage there's a couple stood next to use and they've been listening in to the conversation it appears. When the towering behemoth turns her back for a second the guy quickly moves closer and whispers "play along, man." As my tormentor turns back around he loudly exclaims "oh ****! I haven't seen you since high school!" and embraces me. Then he introduces his girlfriend, Lucy. I quickly realise what's happening and say "hey Lucy, I'm Mark", so that they have my name... she's like "yeah, I think Steve has mentioned some of the pranks you guys used to pull!" We act like we know each other for a few moments and then they ask where we're headed? The OLD giant quickly butts in "he's coming back to MINE in xxxxxx town." "Hey, we're headed in that direction" responds Lucy. "Why don't we share a cab, you can drop us off on the way and it'll cut the cab fare." Now seeing how far away this town is it's a substantial fare, and even the psycho can't really protest too much. "Come on," Lucy says, "let's go hail a cab up here and let these two catch up for a moment" and she pulls this girl off toward a taxi rank a hundred yards or so ahead. Steve moves in. "Now's your chance mate. Run!" I pause for just a split second, I look him in the eyes and say the most sincere, heartfelt words I've ever said. "Thank you." I hope that look can convey how deeply my gratitude to these two strangers, Steve and Lucy, runs. I hope it conveys all that they have saved me from. And then I turn. And I run. This was around August 2011. I never heard from the psycho OLD girl again after a barrage of texts and calls which went unanswered in the immediate aftermath of the incident. Except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, four months later. She called me 31 times and 31 times I did not pick up the phone. 31 times she left voicemails where she was sobbing down the phone, telling me how I was the one, how she would always love me and how our unborn kids hated me for what I had done, how our unborn kids wanted me to come and live with her forever. It didn't really change my mind about her being nuts to be honest. If that story is true, it is one of the most awesome story I ever read. Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I just received a message on an OLD site saying that his priority is to find someone "neat and organized." Odd. He's probably dated the opposite and is sick of it. I don't find that odd. I prefer the same myself. Being with a disorganized slob drives me batty! They usually tend to be late because they can never find their keys, their phone, their wallet, can't remember where they are supposed to be at what time, etc. They call that being "spontaneous."

debber01 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 OLD is a great idea in theory. In practice? Meh. Not so much. I'm the one that has had the sexual innuendos over and over and over. But tonight takes the cake. 80 years old. Really. Seriously. Not trolling. 80....f*cking...years...old....wow. <face palm>. This is definitely a new low. :sick:I'm not even beginning to be able to fathom THIS one! Wow... Link to post Share on other sites
BluEyeL Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You know, I've been dating three months online and I've met all kinds of people, weirdos etc. But also a couple of nice guys, who are age appropriate, didn't bring up sex etc. I'm going on a second date with one of the two "normal" ones next week. I don't mean that this is will be the love of my life, or even my boyfriend, I'm just saying that if you are patient and get over your frustration with the crazies, you can meet a few decent men too.

Thank you for that. SO glad that's not just happening to me! And I'm sorry I said that! Sorry that it's happened to you too. And a 92 y/o can actually have an erect appendage?!

What site are you on BluEyeL? I've tried so many over the months and just seem to get the real young 'uns, real old 'uns or the freaking crazies. Zoosk has been the worst site for me, with POF a very close second. Link to post Share on other sites

BluEyeL Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 And I don't reply to the ones in their twenties looking for MILF, got a couple of those, just delete. Or not respond to any other that seems weird right off the bat, or not a match (education etc). Granted, some were weird later on, so it's not fool proof. But patience I think it's key.

debber01 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Match.com. I don't go on the free ones. Match seems to attract a bit higher quality but I've had flakes from there as well. Along with the 6'-1" dude that likes short women because they are 'easy to position.' I'm just too old for this s*it! Lol. Link to post Share on other sites
BluEyeL Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Of course, you get flakes. I got stood up for a date on Thursday. I just literally laughed (said to myself: had to have this happen too: check!) and went to Chipotle Link to post Share on other sites

She was stupid:laugh: It's entertaining (for her) to talk about crazies, but she should reserve that for her girlfriends, not the normal guy she's on a date with, or she becomes the crazy one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he was in poor health and had no living relatives and a large bank account, couldn't you put up with him for a few months?

outsidethebox Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 OKCupid seems to be a higher quality free site. Can't say I've met anyone that wanted to date me but like I say it's a higher quality OLD site. Link to post Share on other sites
HoneyBadgerDontCare Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't understand the point of this thread or why you're complaining, OP. You just sit there and do nothing and get flooded with hundreds of messages by quality guys and not-so-quality guys. The only work you have to do is sift through the messages (*Gasp* oh no! Poor you!). This is such a tragedy. You my sincerest condolences, OP. What a tough spot you're in. Link to post Share on other sites
BluEyeL Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Her frustration is that she doesn't get flooded with messages from quality guys, only from non-quality guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
debber01 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've got an even BETTER one for you. Had a guy hit me up on Skout a few weeks ago. It went well, but I got the bad boy, player vibe, so I held off on meeting him. Continued on, and had a date a week ago last Friday with someone else. Skout boy started pushing the meet, so I told him it couldn't be Friday because I had a date. If he's a player, why would that matter, right? So he says, "So you've got at least one other date lined up right?" Yeah. So why does that matter? If you want to hit it and quit it, why does it matter? Then says "So if I don't hear from you Saturday you don't need me anymore right?" Wow. Went on an abysmal date that Friday (long story, another thread, lol), and he hit me up on Skout at 2:30 am--what's up kind of thing. So if I answer you at 2:30 am that means I'm not screwing my date? Whaaaa...I was friggin' sound asleep at 2:30. Alone!! I see the Skout message the next day and try to reply. But...I've been blocked! Also unfriended on FB! Really?? I just let it go. This Friday, 2 days ago, he hits me up on Skout again and we talked (eventually moved from Skout to texting) and we talked for 8 straight hours. Ok. Maybe there might be something there after all. We planned to meet last night. He blew me off!! Whaaaa...maybe player, but thinking maybe not so I apologized about having the date the week before. Didn't think it would bother him and was thinking that he was acting all butthurt about nothing. He was like, it's ok baby. Just to confirm, I texted him yesterday at 5:30 and asked if we were still on. Complete...radio...silence...haven't heard a word. So...what?? He perceives that I hurt him (bad boy/player vibe-is that even possible?) so he has to reinitiate contact so he can hand me MY ass?? Whaaaa.... I really really hate this thing called dating....

That seems to be a misconception on this forum--that women are flooded with messages. Not really true. It just seems that the messages received aren't from guys that I'd have one thing in common with IRL. OLD is def more frustrating than IRL. Meh. I gave it a shot. It sucked. /story.

hppr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I met a witch on POF. She seemed totally normal but her religion was witchcraft and she had an altar in her backyard that she performed rituals on for people (craigslist people would pay her to put curses on people, fix their sex problems, all sorts of stuff). Her entire neighborhood was scared to death of her. Link to post Share on other sites
BluEyeL Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well, that guy doesn't sound good, so I wouldn't sweat it. But you shouldn't tell them straight "I have another date", just that you are busy. Some people don't like the idea of multidating, I don't understand those people, but they exist. Don't know what do they expect, to commit to them before even meeting? This one messaged you after your date to find out whether he's better than that other guy, for his ego. But he doesn't have strong interest, is not that you hurt him, he found out that he still had your interest then he was done. Just don't analyze why. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
