i'm officially on spring break this week so i figured this would be a great time to blog. i went to see the alvin ailey dancers on saturday which was fantastic and i'm going to the ga aquarium tomorrow. seems like i'm on my way to meeting my goal set in my last blog.
anyhoo, back to the topic at hand. i know so many people who have met and married from the internet (3 couples from blackplanet, 1 from eharmony, & one from afronet) so i decided to roll my dice in the internet dating game. i have decided to entertain the people with one of my horror stories from internet dating. only for my fellow bloggers will i throw myself under the bus. lol.
okay, at the time i was 23 or 24 and i met this guy from a cetain dating site. we chatted online a few times and he seemed nice. he was 28 yrs old, no kids, never married, looking for that special someone. on his profile he had a kinda blurry webcam pic, but he looked aiight from what i could see (cornrows & nice body). so we talked on the phone for a couple of days and decided to go out later that week on friday. now, in these phone conversations he was talking about how he owned a couple of houses and renting them out to pay his mortgage. he talked about how he had this decked out car with spinners and a candy coated paint job and blah blah blah. we decided to meet up at the movies at greenbriar mall to see "i,robot".
so the friday comes and i get a call 2hrs b4 said date, and he said he had to put his car in the shop that day so could i come pick him up (insert my bullshyt face #1). now i'm a nice person so i say "okay". so here i go driving to the hood to pick him up. come to found out he lives in the basement of the house and he says he renting out the above area (insert my bullshyt face #2). so anyhoo, we actually meet and ...picture this... he was wearing a see-through black net shirt, white jeans with a hole in the knee, and some tan colored timberlands (insert my wtf? face #1).
in addition to that hot mess of an outfit. he didn't look like 28yo, but more like 38years old! of course i'm a nice girl, so i held my composure. so as i'm driving to the movie theater i peeped his cornrows. yall, this negro had a weave in his cornrows to make them longer (insert my wtf? face #2). so i say to myself, "self, you can get through this movie and then it will be over". so we get to the movie theater and he wants to walk around the mall first. ummm...hell no that wasn't happenin! i already knew people were going to be laughin at his outfit at the movies, but at least the lights would be turned off. ain't no way we gonna walk around a crowded mall so people can take pictures of us on their camera phone. lol.
oh i forgot to mention he had on these sunglasses the whole time and really thought he was the shyt! (insert roll of eyes here). anyhoo, we got through the movie and i promptly took his azz back home. he tried to get me to chill with him, but that was a hell to naw on that. i made up somethin like i gotta babysit my nephews that night or somethin. he called me all day the next 2 days and i never answered the phone. some of the messages he left sounded like something my dad would say. lol. like "kaye, i know you not avoiding me. i'm only going to call you 2 more times and i'm not calling anymore". whateva. the end.
i hope i have brightend someone's day with that horror story. please BEWARE when internet dating. lol.
be blessed. :-)
