Due to popular demand, here are some more wacky dating stories for your reading enjoyment!
GENTLEMAN #1
Several years ago, I met someone for coffee. Unbenkowst to me, (that is until we met), I didn’t know he was married. Turns out his wife was ill and he was looking for a partner “to express myself sexually with”. Needless to say, the date ended quickly thereafter.
Fast forward to last week. I was online and someone instant messaged me. When he told me his name, it sounded familiar. Yes, you guessed correctly — it was the same man. Once we had established that we met several years ago, he proceeded to ask me “if I was interested in having a go this time around”. Uh, let me think about that for a minute…. hmmmm….. NO!
Having fun with someone who is single and who makes it clear that’s all they’re looking for (aka my FWB guy), is one thing, but a married man? Not only do I think what he’s doing is disrespectful to his wife, but there’s no way I would be the other woman!
Sadly this scenario of married men going online looking for sex, is not an uncommon one.
Gentleman # 2 aka Mr. Frenchman.
I never did meet this guy, but spoke with him on the phone. He had a very thick French accent (not Quebec French, but French, French, as in France French, whose accent I find beautiful by the way….). I asked him if he was from France (duhhhh!), to which he replied, he had only lived there for a few years. Now, the accent was obviously one where the person had spent more than a few years of living there. It was the accent of someone who had grown up and spent most of their life in France. If he had only lived in France for a few years, then I have a very thick German accent! What didn’t understand was “why lie about such a small thing?”!!
Gentleman #3
Had three dates with this guy. Had a very nice time and enjoyed his company, although he seemed a bit unsure of himself and would end the dates quite awkwardly – I thought it was quite sweet. To cut a long story short, it turns out he had recently ended an engagement and did not want to commit to anything serious with anyone — he wanted to see what was out there. So my question is this – if you’re not interested in dating why did you continue to ask me out on dates? Then again, I see him online quite a bit, so methinks perhaps that might have been his way of telling me “I’m just not that into you!”
