Met man off dating site, Turned out to be a bit odd.

[OooYoungMan]

Are there normal people online? Because I'm starting to get sick of this whole online dating thing.

I joined in January and was talking to one man for ages, lots of emails, he seemed really nice and I got my hopes up.

Then, at the end of messages he started putting things like " .... so I'll catch up with you later. God, I need a wee" I ignored it assuming he was just trying to be funny but then it progressed to "I've just had the biggest shit, but anyway, how are you?" and then a perfectly normal email would follow. I never mentioned it to him and in the end it got to the point where he was saying stuff like "My arse feels like it's been ripped open, I must be constipated" etc and I'd had enough and blocked him. It was so wierd though because he seemed really nice and genuine apart from that.

So anyway, Saturday night I arranged to meet a different man who I have also been talking to for quite a while. We met at a Chiquitos. He seemed really nice at first and then started randomly laughing to himself. When I asked what he was laughing at, he'd just say "oh, nothing. Just a voice in my head telling me funny stuff" so I was thinking "attention seeker" and ignored it although made up my mind instantly that I would finish the date tactfully and then never speak to him again. Then he started talking in different voices and arguining with himself. For instance he looked at the menu and said "Oh, I fancy one of those platters ... fat bastard ... oh shut up you, at least I do eat ... too much ... be quiet" etc I got pissed off and just said "look, no offense but I'm really not enjoying this. Perhaps we should ask for the bill?" and he replied with "Now look what you've done. Don't blame me. I am blaming you" etc etc.

Anyway once I'd gotten home (had my own car thank fuck) he sent a text saying "sorry, I was being a prick, just trying to ease nerves"

I'm talking to another man online but I've now been totally put off. However I can't help thinking "what if I never meet this guy and he would have turned out ok?" etc

Am I being stupid? Anyone else had such odd experiences with online dating or am I a nutcase magnet?

[pagwatch]

Is this like
" Bears - where do they shit? Is it in the woods? "

[Janos]

Yes. None as odd as you though, you poor soul!

IME, you need to be very thick skinned to enjoy internet dating. But I promise you, there are some nice men out there

sorry, your post was hilarious

who are these nutters ?

[SweetAudrina]

A few years ago I got talking to a man who sent me a really nice photo of himself on the beach. He was a police officer apparantly.
I replied with "That was a very nice pic" and he said "Here is another one, quite similar" and he sent another one.

The second photo was a pic of him sitting legs spread on a couch wanking with a demonic grin on his face.

The funniest bit was that he sent me another message afterwards talking really nice as if the second photo really was normal. I sometimes wonder if he sent me the wrong one by mistake.

[AnyFuckerForAShiteSoppyCard]

oo, what a catch audrina

did you arrange to meet him immediately ?

[BlueSapphire77]

I met my DP online.

Say n more

[Dropdeadfred]

eeeugh Audrina! did you speak to him much afterwards?

[Janos]

LOL Audrina he sounds lovely

I've have some similar messages in the past.

What goes on in their minds I do not know. Actually, I don't want to know!

[SweetAudrina]

No I stopped talking to him that day but I did carry on the conversation we were already having, more morbid curiosity than anything else I just couldn't believe he wouldn't mention it!

[electra]

Poor you! I once joined a dating site, for no other reason than I was bored one night and wanted to talk to some people. I have made two friends out of it who I actually get on well with, one in particular who I can have hours of conversation with. I came across loads of weirdos though....

[Janos]

Actually I've just had a slightly unsettling thought...who took that photo...?

[macwoozy]

That reminds me of the time when I got chatting to some bloke of the internet. He seemed nice enough and it was just friendly banter back and forth, until one day he decided to send me a photo of him sitting on his sofa stark naked with a huge erection!! But he only went and bloody sent it to my SIL instead with something like 'Hi I hope you enjoy it!!!' He knew my surname but didn't know my exact address and somehow mistakenly tracked my address down as my SIL's(same surname and area) My god it was embarrassing trying to explain that one to my family

Met loads of unsavoury characters in my search for a good man, you have to be thick-skinned with a bloody good sense of humour! Been with my lovely DP (also met online) now for nearly a year, my diamond in the rough. Just keep plugging away and try not to waste too much time on the saddos!

[DivamakesKimchi]

agree with sparklet,
there are good guys out there so please do not waste your time with saddos.
good lcuk
