To date or not to date... that is the question





So as I have started this process, the question is... who to go out with? I know I have my minor rules but if I am going to do this 50 date thing, I need to get going. I thought it would be kind of funny to write here some of the things guys say to you (online dating of course) to try to get your attention.

Here are some from today:

"Hi,I'm Justin. How are you? I'm 32 and I live in Castro Valley. I teach at a local college. I am very open-minded and laid back. Maybe we can talk? I enjoy camping, hiking, bars, movies, books, music and travel – Aside from Europe, I have been to South America more than once. I have worked as a snow board instructor and have even been to Trannyshack. I hope you are well"

So this guy was pretty close to a response until he said Trannyshack. I think that falls into Steve's rules #1 "DONT BE WEIRD". Yeah, thats a tad odd. Guess he was trying to show my he is versitle.

Here is a mistake from a guy I wrote back to and just asked where he is from.
"Hey you turkey!! La Selva Beach is a small town in Santa Cruz county!!!"

I just dont see myself dating a guy that calls me TURKEY before he meets me. Even after he meets me. Am I being picky??

Here is a response from a guy to a question I asked.... "Okay, the answer to your last question is 13, 10 and 8... " Um yeah, thats a tad much. NEXT...

Here is a good one. I guess we rated eachother okay, so he decided to take the step and send the first email...
"so ok we think each other are good looking?is that how this works?well i think you are and i hope my picture was good enough for you.so a few things ill tell you right off that i feel are good to know.i dont drink or do drugs anymore ,[i had some problems with them]ive been sober two years and kinda started a new life.before it was kind like i am a surfer and me and my friends partied alot and smoked alot of weed .im making new friends now [or trying to]maybe i will just get a girlfriend instead of friends.im pretty mellow these days-i go to the beach ,watch movies and so on..i dont mind if you drink i actually like being around it .im divorced 5 years now from a girl i was with a long time ,so ive been dating for 5 years -its been fun but im still looking,oh im a house painter .thanks for the ass shot ,i realize that i do need a girl with a nice one after you put it out there [its nice]you look like you have nice legs to ,you look like a special girl .pretty face too.so if i sound like something for you -write me back"

Wow, he just vomited words on the page. I dont exactly know what he meant about "ass shot", there is a picture of me facing the other way in front of a beach. Guess he thinks that was just for him.

Okay, this whole dating 50 guys thing.... I dont even know if I can find one that fits in the rules. Oh boy.
