So, since some of you may not be familiar with OKCupid, I'll start with a little blurb. There's this site, see, called OKCupid, where you go to meet people. Scary thought in and of itself. I have me a profile there, and oddly enough I've mostly met good people. There are a few exceptions though...
On OKC, you have 2 lists--people who are "your real friend in real life" and profiles you've got saved to look back at.
So this bloke contacts me about a month ago. First thing I ever get from him is a "friendship request" claiming that he's my "real friend in real life". Since I had no idea who he was, I clicked on over to his profile (go on, click over, so you can see what a fine specimen he is!
http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=15220858649376872005 ). Deciding that I not only don't know him, I don't think I really want to, I tell the computer that no, he's NOT a friend of mine, and deny the request to be added to his "real friends" list.
And I thought that'd be the end of that. But, of course, if it was, I wouldn't be writing this; that'd be a rather boring story.
Last week, he contacted me again. Sadly, I didn't keep the message, so I can't relate it to you now. Suffice it to say, it was short and basically pleading with me to "git to now him" in the wonderfully expressive grammar this man uses.
Today, he sent me ANOTHER "real friends" request. Which I have, of course, denied. Within minutes of sending it, he sent me this message:
"so you like dragons i love thim to see we have one thing in coman so would you like to git to know me i wold like to git to know you so plz git back whit me plz"
Beautiful spelling and grammer, yes? Please note that I have not replied to him
at all to encourage his continued messaging. And yet... here's another message, just now...
Oh, not very exciting I guess... just "hello how are you doing".
I guess the man has something against punctuation, as he doesn't seem to use any.
Now, I fully realize that I could tell the computer to "block user" and therefore never get any messages from this guy again. But I also know how much you all like to live vicariously through my stories of dealing with the random and bizarre people I keep coming across. And frankly, I've been having a run of almost normal people at work. So scary internet man is what you get this week!
