Adele’s On-Line Dating Sagas
Hello Fellow Tomatoes.
I had recently written of a disturbing yet funny on-line attempt to interact with the other gender which came to naught.
Let us backtrack to another experience. Before that allow me to remind you that I am definitely on the far side of AARP card membership which means the pickings – they be slim!
By necessity and to be truthful, by penurious nature, I have never paid any of these clubs a fee - just join the ones that are gratis. Maybe that in itself tends to attract less-than-desirable candidates. (Note to self: maybe spend the bucks to join? Would that appeal to those who could qualify as Mensa material)?
I initiated the e-mail conversation with this one chap who seemed to fit my personal perimeters: educated, similar interests, etc. The conversation flowed to the point that we agreed to meet for coffee.
Being cautious I got there early to see who showed up. Should not have been a surprise that the picture did not correspond well to the physiognomy.
Ignoring the lack of physical attraction, I forged ahead & we discussed many things figuring I was there - give it a shot.
And then, I got a creepy feeling. He said he belonged to a number of clubs
and met a gal at one. They connected and decided to travel together on
cruises in the same cabin to save money. What disturbed me is that the gal is living with her non-traveling boyfriend who does not mind this arrangement. Hmmmn. I didn’t ask any further questions but wondered why this was amenable to the boyfriend.
As it turned out, he rejected me! Was my prudishness that apparent?
Thus another candidate hits the dust.
Not to worry...I am taking another cruise - my birthday gift to me – who knows...there could be another sailor out there for me!
