I sometimes wonder if dating would be easier if I were a lesbian. Turns out, our lesbian sisters are encountering the same insane bullshit on their journey through on line dating as well. Here’s a recent email:
Okay, I just had to tell you this cause I know you can relate and so you won’t think you heteros get all the weirdos.
So I’m talking to this woman online and she asks if I want to meet. I say “sure.” She then asks if I’m an early morning person to which I of course say “no.” (Besides, who the hell wants to go on an online/blind date first thing in the morning.) She replies that she had a hunch that I was not a morning person and congratulates herself for her excellent instincts. She then proceeds to ask me if I want to meet “early sunday morning” or late sunday afternoon.
Ummmm…. hello. WTF?
This is a 42 y.o. who is not in the entertainment industry. Is she not even listening to herself, let alone me? This is what I have to deal with. I feel like saying forget it we’re clearly not compatible, but in the interest of meeting the quota of this obvious numbers game I guess I’ll go through with it.
I told her she has to write back to tell us how it went. Gay or straight, I guess it’s all exhausting.
