I could hardly wait to log on to the dating site , OMG ! the tall handsome guy in the photo had once again replied to my message. How lucky was I ! I quickly typed back to him this time being really forward , I felt myself blush as I pressed the enter key and sent my mobile number to him. I waited , biting my nails staring at the laptop. My Mobile bleeped a message at me, The Message was from him!Hiya Hunny, this is my number . Hunny ! I thought, hmmm a bit cheesy but hey it could grow on me. I felt like a teenager , and so the texting began forwards and backwards. It was on the Friday evening the Tall handsome guy asked me out for Sunday Lunch. All weekend I was smiling and secretly preparing myself for the Date.
The Sunday morning came and I had butterflies in my stomach , my hands shook as I tried to apply my false nails. My long blonde hair washed and shining, my make up ,perfect. I pulled on my silky chiffon blouse and tight skinny jeans, wow ! not bad for an old un, I thought. Once I had my high heeled black suede tasselled boots on I grabbed my car keys not wanting to be late I checked my watch and set of to meet the man of my dreams. I pulled into the car park and scanned the cars , hmmm a Mercedes , or was it the Audi , ohh no , a big tall guy, it would be the brand new white 4x4 BMW , I was sure ,yes for sure. I parked next to it , glanced around and decided to exit the car as gracefully as the heels I was wearing would allow. I sat in the Beer garden , lit a cigarette , and waited, and waited. Had I been stood up I wondered , but then my mobile bleeped a message. Hiya Hunny , my bus is late , be with you soon. As I stood at the bar getting my juice my tall handsome guy approached me , Hunny! he said loudly , I felt eyes upon us from the Diners, I felt myself blushing too. there he stood , All of 5ft 6inch . I tried to be polite , oh so nice you do not drink and drive I said , but he replied , no Hunny , I got a pensioners bus pass no need to own a car. I commented on his height, as his profile stated he was 6ft 6inch tall. He gave a big smile and replied , did it , oh dear I must correct that then .it was then he told me he could not find a recent photo of himself so he used the photo taken of him on his DE-MOB day. We got through dinner, I paid the bill ,yes,and as I walked towards my car he gingerly said, Give us a lift Home Hunny my false hip is playing me up today. Now it was not the fact that he was short in height and money, or the fact he was old and did not own a 4x4 BMW !or the fact that he was a little Billy Liar !that I deleted his number the minute I got home! It was the ears ! OMG I have never seen ears like them ever ,the poor guy ! the name Mr Spock kept coming to mind ! Well , I made sure he got home safe , helped him to the door and then I went home , all by myself , THANK GOD !!!!

sorry, but i cant stop laughing, thats funny, guess thats happned to all of us, stick with it your mr right will eventually turn up xx

LOL , Oh well , I put it down to experience !xx

First error waiting for three days to meet. Second error not agreeing to a fifteen minute meet and greet, Third error not having any sense of realistic expectations going in and instead jumping onto a fantasy only to be disillusioned by his misrepresentation of himself and his dubious life.

Well hello there Mr SeriousMan. I cannot apologise for being such a nice na�ve trusting Soul. But hey life throws these lessons at you so it is a good job I am a quick study. Thank you for your most superior observation's, duly noted, and undigested . Annyjo x

Don't worry, you have to sift the chafe from the wheat somehow. Just chalk it up to the experience that people will lie on their profile.

You might just be the nicest person I have never met ...Funniest too!

thank you hmmm , I hope it was me you are ,replying to or I am going to feel a right dizzy blonde .....AGAIN x

Funny write :-)

Reminds me of when Ross Perot got up in front
of a huge crowd and said "I am all ears."

No one could stop laughing :-)

It was you !

LMAOooooO...Leigh hates my ears toO ...j/k

Wow Anny, well, WELCOME to the CLUB, LOL. I had a short Indian guy with a huge nose show up at starbux, he looked nothing like the 6'4 mixed Samoan and white guy with killer tattoos and beautiful face I saw on his profile. He wasn't as polite as you were, when I called him out on being a liar he tried to make me sound like I was being unreasonable. More embarrassing a silent watcher was sitting in the corner of the patio and he was laughing and saying, "is this one of those online meeting sort of things" I was so embarrassed I just gave him a dirty look for laughing because really, he was laughing at me for thinking I was meeting one guy and this tiny Indian guy showed up. The Indian wasn't even that bad looking but his false profile was full of lies....

Oh well, life goes on. Lessons learned. I make men send me a pic to my cell and like do a video chat with me now to make sure I'm talking to the right person. If not. I just block them,

shame you disposed of his number, i've got the perfect woman for this one!

oh funny tho xx

OMG you made me laugh , well yes , now I am more careful , I have also changed how I meet up I tell them , its not a date , its a meet up , 1 hour , go from there. A bit stuffy , I know lol , but better in the long run.

Bless you for your time, and your great comment. x

pmsl x

oh dear , hmmmm surgery?, no,then you must be perfect in your partners eyes xx

oh dear , Bless xx

A line from Wallace Stevens comes to mind as I ponder this sad but very humorous tale about the stark difference between reality and fiction:

"Fictive things, wink as they will, wink most when widows wince."

I'm sure you winced more than once during this bizarre encounter. May that Prince Charming one day appear just as handsome in reality as your mental image of him.

ohh Gerry ! I look forward to my Prince Charming , but he can only ever be a Friend , I cant be doing with the pain a romance brings with , Bless you xx
