I Can Haz Bad Dayt
Last week, LOLCATSand I made plans to go out to dinner. We first started emailing about a month ago. It seemed to be going fine, he seemed intersting and pretty funny. Then the forwards started. First there was the one about Unicorn Mayonaise, then there was the one about the 6 Million Peso Man, then there were random pictures of pandas, followed by pictures of his cats. After that, it began to escalate and then the cat videos started.
Did I mention this all happened in the span of 24 hours? Well, it did.
To his credit, he did mention in his profile that he loved to email, text message, and send forwards. I just didn’t realize the extent to which he liked doing that. While I was away on vacation, I received about 1 million trillion text messages from him. Many of which just said, “**poke**”. I didn’t reply to most of them. In fact, I stopped replying to the forwards after the cat video.
Yet I decided to go out with him anyway. I figured that an email/text/forward doesn’t necessarily make the man. Perhaps he just likes to send that stuff because he wants to share.
Now I’m thinking that he’s kind of needy. This morning I received yet another email from him:
Still on for 7pm thursday? Or we can just not meet. I sort of get the vibe you aren’t that interested.
This stems from the fact that I didn’t respond to the emails he sent yesterday or the text messages. But that’s because I was busy. I love sending an email/text, but sometimes I actually have stuff to do which prevents me from fooling around with the technology. It’s clear to me that he’s looking for someone that is going to engage in that more often than I am willing to do so.
You know, I think it’s better for the both of us (at the expense of an entertaining blog posting) to just go ahead and cancel my date for LOLCATS.
NEXT!
Uhmm .. yeah I take back what I said before. This is a huge turnoff.. I hate when guys try to make you say : “No, no, no, I’m reaaaally interested please don’t cancel.” The truth is you’re not so .. share both yourselves a waste of time and cancel it :o)
No kidding. F that noise. -CS
and by “share both yourselves” I mean .. “SAVE both yourselves”.. Sorry.
I like the “share both yourselves” better. Much funnier. -CS
He needs a scratching post and some catnip to calm his ass down. Dude get a life. Run now and be glad you didnt share any kitty with him.
BWUAHAHAHAHA!! That’s freaking HILARIOUS!! -CS
Yeah, if you spend any time at all in the online dating trenches, there will be lengthy email exchanges that end in nothing. I say save your time and his money.
But I like spending other people’s money. -CS
You guys? What about us your loyal fans. Do a bad date for the team. Instead of talking you can text each other through the whole date. You don’t even have to be in the same room.
F that. I’ve already been on plenty of bad dates. Do you not remember when I did speed dating just for my loyal readers?? -CS
Okay, after watching that video I take back what I said on twitter. WTF was THAT? It wasnt even that funny.
It was really retarded. The only thing that I liked about it was that people kept kicking the cat. -CS
Don’t do it girl!!! Don’t succumb for the funny story. You know that voice in the back of your mind, screaming “RUN!!!” ? Listen to it. This is the kind of guy you see wearing a t-shirt with pictures of his cats. RUN!!!!
I don’t have time for his nonsense. I wrote to him to tell him that I thought it wasn’t going to work out. You wouldn’t believe what he wrote back! -CS
Give the guy a break, those videos are the closest he’s gonna get to a real pussy.
; )
AHAHAHAHA!! Hilarious!!
And oh so very true. -CS
Do you still want to go out for happy hour this Friday? It sounds like you may have a date!
BTW - Ixia is closed. I just found out the other day. We will need to find a new place for Restaurant week (August 7-14).
I do have a date on Friday, with booze. Yes, we’re still going.
Dude, where have you been. I was away on vacation when it happened and I still knew about it! -CS
CANCEL!!!!!!!!
Trust me! I totally will! -CS
Yikes. Just yikes. You got a gift from the gods when he begged off. There’s a fine line between interest and neediness. This guy excavated it with a backhoe.
You said “backhoe”. -CS
Yikes. I’m in a very similar situation right now… at least I wasn’t alone.
The nice thing is that soon I shall be free. Hurrah! -CS
Had to post this on my site too. OH MY GUDNES!
I totally needed to be around to talk you out of that one IMMEDIATELY! I’m a bad friend!
