Online Dating Undercover: Part 5

"Conversations"

I don’t like the fact that anyone on the dating site can see that you’re online and immediately engage you in instant messaging. They, on their side, click a button, and without your consent, a chat window is opened up on your side. Here are a few of those spontaneous, unwarranted conversations that started before I could even end them. P.S. this first guy’s English skills will make you shudder. And this is the actual conversation...verbatim.

*ANAHEIMFUN

anaheimFun: hi sexy
anaheimFun: how are you
anaheimFun: are you single
anaheimFun: how life in az
anaheimFun: your are a cuttie
Me: dang, that was a lot of questions in a short amount of time

Me: holy tar, yes. the indiana jones ride is my favorite
anaheimFun: lol you should come hook up with me

Me: wow. well aren't you just direct

Me: well listen sparky, i was just about to log off **a lie of course**

Me: oh my gosh, i'm leaving now. good bye!
anaheimFun: 801-887-6680 **not the actual number**
anaheimFun: i just kidding

Me: gotta run. things to do. bi!
anaheimFun: text me

Me: now you sound desperate. get back to work johnny. bi!

And literally I had to log out within the next 2 seconds so that he wouldn’t keep writing. He’s only 24, but still……24. Wow.

And there is such a thing as overusing the "LOL" abbreviation. Or maybe this kid really does just LOL (that's 'laugh out loud' for you text novices" all the time. Bless his heart...
