sarcastic and caustic look at online dating and the life of single-doom.

TheBestWinner

i am awesome and also the best

smart (too smart), sarcastic, funny, fun, creative, stylish, slightly overconfident, politically overinformed, best guitar player in the history of the universe. match should be all those things, maybe not the guitar thing, and be well dressed (look like you live here. do tourists ask you for directions? good.)

Not sure what to make of this. My literal mathematical side says “does not compute”.

action meter

So apparently I’ve been told that this website has become an “action barometer” for some, checking to see whether or not the queen has gotten an action the night before. For the record, the action barometer should be reading around a 6 out of ten tonight. At least it’s on the scale.

Nonetheless, the queen has gone home safely and alone.

PMP: Banana Man

Trying to get back into this whole online dating thing since my mini sabbatical. I’m not as disciplined this go around, I keep forgetting I have it. Not much going one but a few emails from two guys, one who is pictured. I haven’t decided what I think about him.

Sometimes, my hottness amazes even me.

So I’m sitting in a coffee shop working, the place was full for a while but is now in a bit of a lull having mostly emptied out. I’ve got my headphones on and I’m all the way in the back section alone. You think this would signal that I might want to be left alone but the late night crazies never seem to get this message.

A big Latin women comes up to me and decides to sit right next to me on the chair where I was resting my feet. I of course, try to move them. If she wants to sit there, who am I stop her. It’s not my coffee shop. But she grabs my leg and tells me to put my feet back up. Then she starts rubbing my toes.

Not kidding.

That should have been the first signal but I couldn’t really get out of the situation without looking like a total asshole. She starts telling me that in her broken english that I’m so beautiful and that she was starring at me the whole night. I’m not quite sure what to make of these obvious advances. She gives me her email. Gives me her bracelet. Again not quite sure what to say, I thank her. The conversation continues and I make a point to mention that I indeed like boys and only boys but even this does not dissuade her. She tries to make conversation for a while and when that lapses, just stares at me.

After a few minutes she starts talking in Spanish which unfortunately I understand. She begins to tell me about her apartment and how I should come back with her. Trying to shrug off her advances, I tell her I need to work. She replies that I can still work, she just wants to watch me work.

Watch me work. Like that’s not creepy or anything.

After a few more minutes she she reaches out to touch my feet again which I had moved to what I thought was a safe distance away. I pull my feet back, she finally gets the message and leaves. Not seeing her, I decide to take this opportunity to leave while I can. She sees me packing up and comes back trying to stop me from leaving, telling me that she’s in love with me. I’m so beautiful, blah blah and starts following me out. I start getting a little worried at this point that’s she’s going to follow me home. So i go back in. She comes back, staying a foot or two behind me, obviously going to go whereever i go. I had to grab a strapping fellow to accompany me back to my apartment. While I’ve been hit on before, I’ve never had to do that!

So weird.

getting back into the swing of things…

Hi, my name is Rodrigo. Nice to meet you. How are you? Very nice profile. You really sound like someone I would like to get to know further. I like the way you express yourself in your profile. Just had to write! I totally agree with your point of not taking life seriously and being able to laugh at yourself.

A little more about me: I live ***, I am involved in paralegal work, but my main interest is filmmaking. I will be doing my 3rd feature film this summer. Feel free to check out my site www.****.com.
I strongly believe in communication and I would also say that I’m very romantic , passionate and most importantly honest.

Just wanted to take the first step and get in touch with you. Feel free to write back and most importantly keep taking action and going for what you want in life! Thanks for reading my words!

So…now that the Queen is back in the online dating game, there are a few new rules. There is a slightly different format to this particular online dating service. Instead of going through all these personality tests and lame ass questions, you can search for people that you might find interesting and email them directly. It requires a bit more work but also has a bit more freedom as well. I’m still getting into the swing of it but this gentleman was the first to email me. Thought I’d share.
