Hey Good Lookin'

There are times in a girl's life when she needs to do a deep dive into the dating abyss. That being said, a few notes before i continue: 1. i have a boyfriend. 2. we met - yikes - off a dating site. 3. we're still on said dating site as a means to stay in contact with friends. It has a chat function which at it's best is hysterically entertaining - and at it's worst is a microscopic look into the truly destructive, narcissistic, delusional, unbalanced and unflinchingly pathetic lives of the lonely. Mind you, there are some great, grounded, sharp-witted, emotionally mature and strikingly 'normal' people on this site - and then there are the men who contact me. My deep dive is digging through my Jdate 'inbox' to glean the hidden gems that i've tucked away for a cold wintery day - hidden gems that hopefully will entertain you as much as they do me.

These are all verbatim emails/messages that i've received - no changes to the content whatsoever other than removing their names - the rest of the glorious mess is all their own.

Any advice?

Anthony -

Advice? Sure.

Spell check is a good start.

A basic grasp of the english language (mind you, none of the guys in this post who emailed me were foreigners - they were all born/raised in the US).

Don't shorten the word 'come' to 'cum' - it denotes creepiness and a sense of intimacy that an introductory email shouldn't have.

Don't call me angel - i can't stress that enough.

Other than that - just keep it light and breezy - be happy - confident - and good things will happen :)

On a side note - i read part of your blog and it's fantastic. I'll be back to read more! Keep writing - it's something that you're quite good at!

Boogs - hahaha - you get to call me that one time. ONE time.

Heidi - no - you're a beatiful angel :)

Roberta - yeah - sadly it would never work between he and I - I'm a total Wednesday - my sister is more of a Monday - too bad she's married ;)

I've just stumbled on your site and I can *totally relate* to these atrocious Jdate emails and poorly-written profiles... not to mention the (gah!!) IM sex!

A friend told me "If you take a quick search on millionairematch.com, you will find many people like movie stars". I'm not ready for online dating yet. But I think you qualify this site.
