Digging a Hole

Ok... now I know guys don't take hints easily, but this guy... Oi Vey! What a doof! I wrote to this guy a few times at the end of August & early September. He originally responded to Wit and Sarcasm Out The Wazoo. He was cute, he was funny, but.... He just... didn't have "it." Actually, he did a lot of boneheaded things, and still does them in this e-mail. Well, you'll see the "fatal errors" he made.

Subject: Well well well...
In response to: In Three Easy Steps

Still at it, aye Lorena? :)

Well at least now you're not advertising as "NYC area." Decided to stay around Philly or still moving to the Big Apple?? Anyway you dropped the ball numerous times writing me (all after I toldja I had a kid), so I don't know why I bother. I guess you're just too damn cute and witty. ;) Plus I I now reside in Elkins Park, Montgomery County (Near Glenside) (and not St. Peters, MO) as of 4 days ago makes me fair game on your dating roster.

So what's new? A lot here. Write if you have time. I'm having a love/hate relationship with my new apartment/job/city. Like all my relationships, it's quietly intense. Hope all is well with Scott,

Web design in beauttiful Mid-Penn, and the quest for Dr. Evil-in-a-man. (...do you remember??)

P.S. Nice pic, liked the park bench shot better though, more leg. ;)

Still at it, aye Lorena? :)

Lorina: Fatal Error #1 - Repeatedly spelled my name wrong. That's a BIG no-no. It's in my damn e-mail address! I could understand not spelling it right after not seeing it for a while, but when we were writing, he still spelled it wrong. My boss's name is Jim. I guess it would be ok for me to call him Jem?

Well at least now you're not advertising as "NYC area." Decided to stay around Philly or still moving to the Big Apple?? Anyway you dropped the ball numerous times writing me (all after I toldja I had a kid), so I don't know why I bother.

Fatal Error #2 - A classic case of TMI - not so much that he told me he had a kid, but he told me that the kid's mother had mental/emotional problems, needed medication and didn't take it as prescribed, AND mentioned how much of his income went to child support.

Fatal Error #3 - ME? Date someone with a baby? Yeah, right.

Fatal Error #4 - Doesn't recognize a cold shoulder when he sees one.

I guess you're just too damn cute and witty. ;)

Fatal Error #5 - I'm cute and witty -- he's not.

Plus I I now reside in Elkins Park, Montgomery County (Near Glenside) (and not St. Peters, MO) as of 4 days ago makes me fair game on your dating roster.

Fatal Error #6 - Assuming I'd want to go out with him after not even writing to him in over a month, just because he was geographically closer.

So what's new? A lot here. Write if you have time. I'm having a love/hate relationship with my new apartment/job/city. Like all my relationships, it's quietly intense.

Fatal Error #7 - Speaking of this "other relationships, along with the TMI of the kid with the crazy mom, he also told me about his "friend" who was his 41 year old f---buddy. He was 25, and "she used to dance and do gymnastics, and is VERY well preserved for an older woman. I know we'd never be anything beyond friends, and she does to. So we're both very comfortable with the additional spice." Yeah, that's appealing.

Hope all is well with Scott,

Fatal Error #8 - Who the hell is Scott? Scott Evil? Or is he thinking about Jonn, who I told him I was sort of seeing so he'd get the hint I wasn't really interested? (And, by the way, he always spelled Jonn as John, too.) The guy must be rather... dim, or just doesn't pay attention.

Web design in beauttiful Mid-Penn, and the quest for Dr. Evil-in-a-man. (...do you remember??)

Fatal Error #9 - While I am a "super genius" and do remember this guy, he doesn't ever say who he is!

P.S. Nice pic, liked the park bench shot better though, more leg. ;)

Fatal Error # 10 - A little too suggestive early on, which was one of the other reasons I wasn't interested.

Cindy: This doofus is an obvious case of DG...Yep...Damaged Goods....Now, I know that everyone has their little quirks and insecurities, it is not wise to demonstrate these upon meeting someone new...Let alone, demonstrate these qualities in an e-mail...

To the Cinderoo...this reads like this duded is PISSED... Come on now...doing personals is like a casting call...it's a real long shot to find someone who really clicks and is worthy of a face to face audition and even more unlikely to actually dig someone and hook up (not to say this could never happen...) And I thought that even if ya don't meet someone...at least you enjoyed the adventure...it's meant to BE FUN!

And this dude sounds DESPERATE...as we all know, there is nothing fun about that... while this doofus seems to have some clue that you are not diggin' being a replacement mom... Why does he bother? Because he's DG!

Note: While I do not state in all my ads that I don't want to date men with children, I would NEVER date someone with a baby under a year old. People with babies have enough on their minds without dating someone, AND if they were together as a couple that recently, there's a pretty good chance of them getting back together. Having a kid is stressful on a relationship, and I'd rather see someone give it another chance. But, it's just too much to go into this sort of thing in every ad!
