Online dating

Online dating horror stories. (I've only read a few of these so far -- saving them for the weekend.)

I always thought online dating would be kind of fun, but in practice I bet it would be 99% people I kind of hated.

  1. P.S. Still haven't read all of them, but I started from the bottom this time and worked my way part of the way up. I liked this one:

    "One guy wasted five years of my life in an interminable engagement that was like slow soul death! :D"

  2. Also: I am amazed at how many of these people complain about the horrible date they had, and reveal that they had sex with the person anyway.

  3. I am gleefully saving these for a quality work break.

    The sex anyway thing makes me think of that How I Met Your Mother episode where the guy's signature move is surprising his date by taking off all his clothes while she's out of the room. And then the date always ends up having sex with him out of pity and awkwardness. Success!

  4. Doesn't this guy sound kind of endearing?

    "He spent one-third of the time telling me about the musical he was writing about raccoons, one-third of the time talking about C++, and one-third of the time demonstrating the plot of Othello using the salt and pepper shakers."

  5. Too funny, I thought the exact same thing when I read that!
