How Peculiar

I know that when one takes up the challenge of online dating, there’s going to be a little patience required – but I’ve had a few strange experiences lately which have made me realise what a peculiar world online dating is – and just how small Auckland is….

* I spotted an old university friend who I haven’t laid eyes on since the foggy memory of my 21^st birthday party. Tried to make contact in a friendly ‘nothing romantic intended here, just curious to see how life is treating you’ manner, but alas he didn’t reply.

* An ex popped up like a weed and tried to re-kindle the flame, but no thanks buddy – my name isn’t Elizabeth, remember.

* Was approached by a family friend who I haven’t seen since I was about 16 years old. Just a teeny bit creepy… and as far as I understand he is still married.

*The bloke who I thought I recognised from somewhere and turned out to be my brother’s oldest mate, who I’ve known since I was about 9. A little disturbing also.

* The guy who emailed me with the words ‘Even though I have killed someone, it doesn’t mean I can’t still love someone’. OMG was he emailing me from Jail?!

A lot of the profile names some guys choose are downright crazy too. Seriously fella’s, do you think a great catch will make contact with an email entitled ‘Hello, Sailor’ if your profile name is RandyAndy, KiwiRubberGuy or SwallowMePlease?

Yep, it’s definitely true what they say: ‘If you don’t laugh you’ll cry’.

Have a great weekend!
