#dating2017

whispers of love, stolen glances, hearts fluttering, all within the dance of modern dating.

After writing strange and cryptic notes on my iPhone, I decided to document my experiences in the dating world, (specifically virtual dating), for a few reasons: 1. To journal and document my experiences clearly, 2. To entertain myself and possibly others, 3. To provide raw and honest details and advice in hopes that this may give someone somewhere relief, hope, reassurance, empathetic words, or all of the above.

I am going to post some of my stories of dating in today’s world. I am not going to use names, just first initials.

I am on this app called Whisper, you can post anything amorously. You can look at post’s nearby, you can have private conversations and reply to posts publically.  One day I started talking to a man that was in the same city as myself. Firefighter, similar in age, seemed to keep the conversation going very well.  He sent me a photo at one point, instantly I was like “damn, he is hot! could this be true!?”, After talking for a few hours, he asked about grabbing a drink later that same night at Applebees. I said sure! Through the rest of the day, he kept asking kind of odd sexual type questions. Sadly I am used to that in today’s world, so I brushed it off.

I got to Applebee’s around 7:30, I was 15 minutes early. Five minutes before he was supposed to be there I get a text message of a picture of a very different and older looking man with the caption “do you still want to meet up”, I was pretty upset, obviously. At that point I was already dolled up, sitting there, waiting, this guy can at least buy me a drink or two! I wanted to hear in person, why. Why would someone do this to another person?  He claimed the earlier pictures were really old and he changed a lot. I wasn’t buying it

I was definitely not as attracted to him in person, even the picture he did send me was outdated. It was an okay conversation I guess, not much eye contact, a bit awkward at times. We kissed/made out a bit by our cars in the parking lot. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt, he had a tattoo on his right arm. In the picture sent earlier, there was a cross tattoo on the left arm. I mentioned this outside, and he tried to say no no no there was no tattoo. I have had a few drinks, it was late, I didn’t want to deal with this person I now knew nothing about in person.

The next morning I looked back at my messages, took a screenshot of the picture with the cross tattoo, with a message “Next time you plan on lying to someone after they give you multiple chances, to tell the truth, don’t use a picture with a tattoo that you don’t have” I got the “I’m sorry I guess you're, done with me” I said bye then later I get a text “And so you know my dick still gets hard thinking about you”  WHAT!?!? I simply said “I do not need to know that” then I got called a witch, inconsiderate bitch, a lonely loser, and a cunt.  Yet he was the one who lied!!! I told him he was fucked up and to lose my number, then it was done.
