The latest conversation on Plenty of Fish dating site, with subtext for added enjoyment.
Me: Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
Potential: No
(She is starting off sounding so exciting.)
Me: Well, what do you like to do? Do you enjoy the outdoors?
Potential: It's alright.
(What could possibly be wrong with the outdoors in Michigan in the summer and fall!)
Me: That doesn't sound too promising? You need your vitamin D :).
Potential: Yeah, lol
Me: So if it isn't the outdoors, where do you spend your time?
Potential: I just stay home
(I am texting Howard Hughs, apparently)
Me: You need some adventure in your life! There is a whole world outside!
Potential: I know.
(There are soooo many ways she could have taken my opening. At this point, I am losing my patience.)
Me: Well, what would you like to try? What has kept you from it?
Me: It would be a shame to go through all the pain of a facelift and not let anyone see it.
(Yes, she states in her profile she just got a facelift!)
Potential: I thought about that.
Me: Andddddd, what would you like to do? Anxiety holding you back?
Potential: Yes!
(Great way to expose your best qualities, but now I am intrigued)
Me: Bad former relationship? You say you are going to be going back to school. Are you nervous about that?
Potential: Omg, yes, on the school! I'm so nervous about it. I have a hard time around people because most don't have common sense, and I get angry and annoyed.
Me: Well, it will be good to learn a bit of patience.
(Much like me in this conversation)
Potential: I'm working on that, lol. Ur funny.
Me: Well, I figure you should be yourself on here. No use sugar-coating my personality. It will come out once you meet me. So tell me more about you.
Potential: Not much to tell. I'm pretty boring. Kinda lost touch with what I like or don't. I want to maybe talk to you before I agree to meet. Met some serious weirdos on here. Not that you are. I know a lot of POF about women too.
At this point, I feel a bit sorry for her but not a bit interested in her. Next!
Just caught up on your recently published posts, not sure how old they are (in real time), but shit sucks when things end, and really, the only relief I have found is enforcing habits that are positive for me that I do every day. But that is coming from some deep depression and basically learning how to reparent myself (therapy!).
ReplyDeleteHowever, as far as dating goes, I don't respond or waste time with one word responders like this woman, I know what you are looking for makes your pond small, but lady sounds like she shouldn't be on that site if she isn't interested in conversation!
Danielle Things are running pretty much in real time. Billie and I were together and happy for over 5 years. And you probably remember how times were before tings settled down. I am trying to keep busy. I am handling it better than my past episodes. I am worried about with things fall apart on her and she tries coming back to me for help.
