He showed up and was only 5'2"... I have NO height issues about my mate, but apparently he DID! We met in the parking lot and he asked me to wait five minutes before I came in, so he would already be seated at the bar and no one would notice our height difference. We had to leave the same way, too! WTF?!

I on the other hand, have not. Most dates have been blah at the best, although a few that were nice but didn't go anywhere. I have had the ones who are just looking for hook-ups, nude pics (not gonna happen), want a pen pal and the one creeper saying he was in the military but clearly not an English speaker fluently and kept referring to himself by his rank and name. Yeah, he wanted to marry me after 1 email when he returned to the states. He emailed me for over 6 months (mind you, I was not responding) and he professed how our love would bond us forever... My biggest gripe about online dating is for some reason people don't actually READ your profile. Men who freak or get turned off when they find out I have kids. That drives me nuts because had you actually spent 2 minutes looking you would see I have kids. Also, as a 36 year old woman most men who are interested are over the age of 50. I have no issues dating older men but I am confused of why men in their 30's and 40's won't date women in their mid-30’s. Sorry, rant over. The one story I wanted to share with the group was on Friday I was looking through my matches and came across my best friend’s ex-husband... okay, no big deal. Except, he made himself 11 years younger AND put his income down as $150K+, after telling her he's been unemployed for the past 3 years!!! Needless to say, screenshots were in order, and I wasn't interested.

LOL, I'd love to hear the story on this one! Never had any that were run for the hills awful. Did happen to meet this one guy on OKC who I really enjoyed our conversation. We decided to meet up at a halfway point, but at the last minute, he asked if I could head the 25 or so miles over to his city so we could have a picnic and go for a stroll around the park. By this romantic picnic/stroll, it appeared he actually meant for me to come over to his HOUSE and walk around the neighborhood and then eat leftovers.. that his parents had made.. at what was actually his parents' house.
