I joined up and got lots of responses, even though I didn't put my picture up on the net (for privacy reasons.) So, I met this one guy who was cute, a med school student at USC, and my age- 25. He sounded really cool, but over the phone had slightly geeky humor. We went out on a date- met at Starbuck's and went on to dinner. It was nice. So, we went out 2 days later to a club with 2 of my friends. This little insecure jerk would not stop grabbing me and trying to shove his tongue down my throat all night. Can we say needy and clingy??? I'm also a smoker and he's not. I'm respectful of non- smokers, so I walk a few feet away to have my nicotene. However, this jackass followed me, begged me not to smoke- to kiss him instead and FORCEFULLY swatted the cigarette out of my hand, breaking my watch!! This was all before we get in the club. Inside, he was jealous of my friends (my best girl friend and a gay friend) and kept trying to corner me and have me to himself. He couldn't dance (even though he went on and on about how good he was,) and had terrible breath. I had enough and after the club, he took me home. He begged me to come up and "cuddle" with him and to just kiss him. I was so annoyed because he kept trying to grab me and I literally had to wrestle my way free from his grip to have some space. I told him some excuse like I was drunk, etc... and went inside. It was too bad because he was cute- just a complete dumbass. This guy had almost no social skills. I will definitely be more careful of who I meet online.

Beware Of Sweet Talkers

Boy was I wrong, I opened up to him on how I was used by men in the past and he used this info to do just that!!The last visit I had with him, he was talking marriage and family plans telling me how much he loved me and that I was the one he wanted. I get home and he gets this cold shoulder with me, I ask him what's wrong and he tells me to leave him alone that it's over. I go around for days hurt and heartbroken, telling my friends I dont understand what happened. And than the big bomb! I e-mailed him telling him I can't go on with my life not knowing what happened. He told me he had other women he was writing and was going to be going out with one the following weekend!! I was soo hurt. I'm just glad I didn't marry the @@$*^^@ before finding out!!!

Internet Dating

A few short years ago, the common assumption was that anyone who'd turn to their computer for love had to be a geeky, pathetic loser who couldn't get a date. More recently, with the Internet changing everything from the way we shop to the way we find driving directions, cyberspace has become the hottest pick-up joint on the planet.
These stories prove not only that normal, stable everyday folks are using the internet to find romance, but that sometimes... there's still a lot of freaks out there.
