I just love this thread!

Red pants - On a good note, he was wearing pants.

No socks guy - WTH is right.

Sex before we break up guy - Wow....I wonder what faith he is in that encourages this.

Ok, I'll try to share one. I was in OLD for a bit when I moved to a new area and was messaged by a woman. Her profile indicated she was pursuing a phd and she seemed interesting enough so we met for coffee. We talked a bit about doctorates and it turns out she was just talking to a professor about potentially doing a doctorate. Fair enough. She also only had a BS, and most phd programs require an MS nowadays unless you're stellar so I was thinking, wow. Phd was to be in astronomy, which I though, ok, didn't know you could get a phd in that but a good program. Then she goes on for 20 minutes about how she's going to research the colony of aliens that originally inhabited earth, like I knew about this 'theory'. I forget what it's called, but she was referring to some theory about a planet that came through earth's orbit long ago and seeded the human population. Well, it is supposed to come back and she was going to collect data, blah, blah. I didn't know what to say. Then she tells me she still lives with, and sleeps with, her bf at his parents house. She tried to hug me and asked for a second date but I declined.

Gomphus - that research sounds... ummm... interesting?

But the kicker?

Then she tells me she still lives with, and sleeps with, her bf at his parents house. She tried to hug me and asked for a second date but I declined.

"unless you're stellar so I was thinking, wow. Phd was to be in astronomy"

... no pun intended?

I love this thread.

Once my friends husband decided to set me up with a friend of his. We emailed and made plans to meet up. He told me I'd recognize him because he had a red go-tee. Go-tee? I thought he would be wearing a red t-shirt with GO on it.

On another blind date my date asked me if I knew what the word was that described a plant leaf that was green and white. He knew the answer, he was...quizzing me on vocabulary. What is variegated for $200 Alex.

I'm not doing OLD right now, but I can't get enough of these stories...so I'm going to bump this.

Just this morning, I received the "hello, Beautiful" message from a guy that used his Department of Corrections pic as his OLD photo.

Oh, yeah. Sign me up please.

You know, he might be a potential match - at least he wouldn't be all clingy and hanging around all the time.....

Current guy I'm seeing told me about a message he received from a woman…it was their second email exchange…and she sent him a link for a fetish website all about spanking, and detailed what she would like him to do to her.

He declined.

she sent him a link for a fetish website all about spanking

OMG, priceless! Oh, to see the look on his face!

great smile... get back.. like to go for a ride in the corvette ??

This was the OLD guys idea of an opening line???

But what really made it creepy was the pair of handcuffs hanging off his bedroom lamp in his selfie...ewewww!

WTF!?!

I got an opening email that said "I really want to get married. Please pick me.".

Not dating yet but my BFF JK has some winners. One dude told her that being left handed was a sign of the devil when she signed her credit card slip.

This thread is KILLING me, I haven't laughed this much in I don't know how long!

Two questions: 1) What is OLD?

2) What is FOO?

I'm almost scared to start dating after reading this! But I'm thinking I'll probably wait at least a year anyway (I should be completely divorced in another week or so).

OLD = Online Dating

FOO= Family of Origin

*facepalm*

Thank you, itainteasy. I seriously thought OLD stood for some particular online dating website...LOL

No worries. I had no idea what they meant either for the LONGEST time. I was too chicken shit to ask though, so I waited around for someone else to!!!

LOL This thread is hilarious!!

I'll play along!

The second question I asked was how old he was. 22. Like born in 1991.

This happened to me recently. The young'uns was a mere 23! I was visiting a local bar due to a reggae event being held there. The whippersnapper is wanting to play pool and asked if I'll join him. I decline. He then says he'll teach me. I smile and say "no thanks!"

BTW, the guy is very handsome. And, I'm thinking to myself in a motherly kind of way, he's good-looking for a young guy. He then asked to sit at my table and tries to sweet talk me. I'm cracking up because I can't believe he's actually trying to pick up on me. GOSH DARN!! I'm old enough to be his mother!!!

He later leaves with his friends and says goodbye. I can't make out what else he says because the music is blaring. Approximately an hour later, I leave. And guess who is driving up into the parking lot?? Yep! The 23 year old! This guy is persistent, I'll tell ya!! He approaches my vehicle and asks why I'm leaving so early. He then asks for my number. I say, "Don't you think I'm a little too old for you?"

His response, "No, I think I'm a little too old for you!" Ain't that S-M-O-O-T-H??? Be still my heart!!

Even though he was good-looking and I was a bit flattered that he approached me, I could never get with a guy who's young enough to be my son. Ewww.

I think back to when I was his age and the thought of getting involved with a 45 year old would have grossed me out! How a young man could even think of getting with an older woman leaves me baffled. Same goes for old geezers trying to hit on the young women. Yuck.

Yes, now these are supposed to be dating stories, but along the same lines...

I go to the same car wash every few weeks, and it's an older American guy and a young guy from Honduras. The last time I was there, the young guy was saying how great it was to see me again. That's after my first time meeting him where he proceeded to pay me all kinds of compliments. I don't think he could be any older than 20...and considering that my stepson is 18, well...

It always leaves me ROTFL! Like, dude, I'm not Mrs. Robinson! Ha ha I hope he doesn't find out that I'm (almost) divorced!

I could never get with a guy who's young enough to be my son

Me either-and I told them that. This seems to be the thing now
