Welcome to Flirty Friday, the day in which Sidney Bristol and I take a moment to talk about our online dating adventures. It’s all in good fun, so there may be snark ahead, but no revealing of identities. Check out her website for her Flirty Fridays.

So today, this morning, actually, I got this message. There was no subject just the words “What are you up to this weekend?” I give this guy props because he actually formed a complete sentence, used correct grammar AND spelling.  Well, besides not capitalizing the first word, but I’m not really THAT picky…

You’d be surprised how many people can screw up a seven word sentence.

I got nothing for this one. He offered no information, asked nothing of consequence. I’m not going to talk to anyone I’ve never talked to before about my weekend plans.  I do, and next thing you know, I’m buried in a wall, missing fingers, with all my hair cut off and shoved in a jar. Okay, maybe that’s extreme, but is it really that hard to say: “hi, I saw that you liked such-n-such movie and like to run. I like those things too. Tell me about the last movie you saw.”

Okay, that’s an extreme example and I’d probably snark that too, but I get frustrated with this pointless emails. I can deal with stupid, because hey, the world has them and they’re all attracted to me. But the ones that don’t even put thought into it? Yeah. Not interested if they aren’t.

I swear I’m not really this high maintenance, but I’ve become very cynical in my dating life lately, thanks to messages like this. Thank goodness I have an outlet here, so I can vent to you guys. Because I could go postal on some of these guys.
