ONLINE DATING EXPERIENCE



Ann wrote: Yeah well like most of us do I was crusing the personals at matchgirls.blogspot.com and I came across Marks' ad and thought that I would say hi, what the hell right? We chatted, then on the phone, then in person! He was so sweet but in the looks department not for me, LOL. But I thought that new friends would never hurt.

That was the BEST decision of my entire life! Mark and I were friends for about 5 months when I had to move 2 1/2 hours away. By that time I was so in love with him and the make over I gave him was really doing well too LOL. NO, seriously though, I really did fall in love with him. Finally letting myself trust after the aftermath of a bad marriage and a worse divorce.

Anyway, needless to say he fell in love too after seeing me only once a week (the heart growing founder) and he asked me to move back here and live with him. He says I love you all the time and I could never be happier.

So for all of you out there,......never let first impressions lead you the wrong way. Remember that they are nervous too!

JOE AND ME

I moved to Atlanta for college and quickly got into a relationship with a guy there, "joe". a little background info: I nearly drowned a few years ago and ever since then I've had a horrible phobia of water, not like rain or drinking water, just being immersed in water..which is why I cannot approach pools or beaches. Ok so Joe and I had been together for about 4 months, everything was going great, when he mentions he has a pool at his house, would I like to drive there one weekend with him? I tell him about my phobia and how I dont even have a swimsuit because I cannot do it. He starts whining like a child, 'but I really like swimming! it's so nice, it's heated and at night you can look up at the stars." and I tell him it sure sounds lovely but I just cannot get near water! He starts getting angry and says "you havent even seen it, how can you say you wont like it, it's so so nice!" and I'm repeating, the main aspect is the pool, and that nixes the whole idea no matter how nice the stars and trees and everything else is! He threatens to break up with me and (I dont know why I did this, I shouldve ended it) but I say fine I'll sit by the edge and put my feet in the very shallow end so only my toes are wet because I am terrified of the feeling of water so I wouldnt go in. He says fine and we go and I put my toes in while he gets completely in. I'm not feeling great and I tell him so and I want to get away from the water, I get panicky just seeing it. He gets FURIOUS! "why cant you do this for me?! this would be a great way to show me you really love me and you're not going to try!!" I tell him I cant do it for anybody, it's not my fault, I'd really like to swim but I just cant. and he says "you'll have to face your fear sooner or later, dont be a coward" and I get up and start to walk away because I'm furious now, and he grabs my legs and pulls me into the pool!!!! For some people that might not be so bad but it's like locking a claustrophobic in a closet! I screamed and ran all the way back to school (we had DRIVEN..it was FAR!) and changed my number because he kept calling. Now he still sends me angry letters and emails, meanwhile I have horrible horrible nightmares about the water.

MY BAD DATE

I am a very shy guy, and I definitely never approach random girls and talk to them, let alone ask them out on a date. But I was feeling particularly brave one night after visiting my uncle in the hospital, and approached an attractive nurse named Ginny. For some reason, the words were coming out right, and I managed to not only persuade Ginny to go out on a date with me, but also had a very lively conversation that left her smiling. We met a few nights later to go to a Minnesota Twins game and then out for a few toddies. I got some awesome front row tickets down the first base line, and we arrived very early and watched batting practice. Again, I seemed to be saying all the right words. It was too good to be true! The Twins were playing the White Sox in a big game that night, and of course Ginny wasn't up to par on her baseball knowledge and didn't even know the White Sox were from Chicago. During batting practice, one of the players, Joe Crede, was signing autographs. He and Ginny started talking, which was awesome. But then it started getting to be like he was flirting with her. He was even pawing at her and holding her hand! I'm not one for confrontation, but I wasn't going to let a minor celebrity steal my girl away on my first date in months. I thought acting like a macho guy was the right way to go. I told Joe maybe he should be worrying more about the game than flirting with other guys' girlfriends. Oops. Ginny was furious with me that I would be so jealous, and also to refer to her as my girlfriend on our first date. Joe gave me a dirty look as well. The rest of the night was just painfully awkward. I had a chance to redeem myself later as a foul ball came our way, but I only made things worse by unintentionally pushing a kid out of the way to try to catch the ball, which I didn't. Ginny asked me to take her home after the game and to not call her. I visited my uncle in the hospital again a couple months later, and ran into Ginny, which was awkward. She had become a White Sox fan after that game and was taunting me that they were in the World Series and my Twins finished third.MORE
