Peril of the Week – Something’s Fishy

An attractive woman went for dinner with her cyber-date to a trendy restaurant. They met on her favorite online dating site. As they were escorted to their table, the gentleman complained to her that something smelled like fish. She replied with a witty comment and said, “You don’t want to say that to a lady.” He replied with, “Well, it happened when you showed up.”

She stayed for drinks to be polite, but they never made it to dinner.

Peril of the Week – Is it Naptime?

One of the challenges of online dating is moving from an online relationship to an offline relationship. Although it is easier staying glued to your computer, in order to be successful, you need to meet face-to-face at a mutually convenient time and place.

They say when a man tells you how he really feels, you should believe it! When a man says he doesn’t want to get married, well he just doesn’t want to get married. So when a friend of mine accepted a cyber-date from a man and he called to say he was a bit on the tired side and requested that they reschedule the date, she should have listened. However, she didn’t want to get replaced by another online prospect in the competitive dating pool and convinced him they should still meet for their casual dinner.

After the entree was brought to the table, she heard a loud noise. No, it wasn’t the table crashing, and the waiter didn’t drop a full tray of plates. The noise she actually heard was from her cyber-date who actually meant what he said, and was sitting across from her snoring loudly. I guess he forgot to take a nap that day before their online date. Sometimes what a man says and what he means are actually true.

Peril of the Week – They Call Me Dr. Who?

A California beauty just shared her story of the Doctor she met from an online dating site. The physician told her he practiced medicine at a prestigious clinic. He drove 60 miles to meet his cyber-date. He handed her his business card confirming that he was indeed a medical doctor.  He spoke proudly at great length about the facility he provided medical services to.

The Doctor was a bit nervous on his date and kept rambling on and on, until the truth was finally revealed. It turned out that he was in fact a patient at the well-known rehab clinic and not a Doctor at all. He went as far as having business cards printed up that he proudly handed out indicating he was an M.D.

The woman got a bit nervous when she realized that his stories didn’t add up and ended the coffee date quickly after 20 minutes. One wonders what the meaning is behind the term, “practicing medicine” and if this gentleman raises his hand when he hears, “Is there a Dr. in the house?”

Peril of the Week – A Hungry Man

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Quite often you hear stories of single women lining up with casseroles when a man becomes newly single. Perhaps there is some truth to this, as there is a huge following for the “Love Potions” recipes on the CyberDatingExpert site.

However, as hungry as a man may be, what happens to his manners in the matters of the heart? I heard a story recently about a woman who was going on a cyber-date with a man she met in an online dating site. He graciously offered to meet her for dinner and he suggested the restaurant.

The woman arrived right on time, only to find her Internet dating partner at the table, halfway through his entree. At first, she was confused. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about the time of the reservation? She asked him if she was late for their date, and he replied with, “No, you are right on time.” Naturally, she found his behavior on the rude side, and walked out of the restaurant.

Seriously, if you are going to invite someone for lunch or dinner, don’t you think you should wait until your guest arrives to order your meal? It was time for her to say “next.”

Peril of the Week – Never on a Friday

During my recent trip to New York, I met several online daters who were anxious to share their stories with me. There are so many reasons, signals, and red flags that indicate that a date will not go well. If you are not flexible with your “rules” that you set up for yourself, you may just end up alone.

I met a woman who is a single mother from New York City. Although there are many single parents online, it does make it a bit challenging when you have a schedule to adhere to with your children. One lovely lady met her cyber-date for a casual coffee one day. The date appeared to have gone well and he asked her out for a second date. This time, he wanted to take her to a movie. 

The woman accepted the second date, but then the scheduling conflict began. She told her date that she had her daughter on Monday-Thursday, and could be available to meet him for a movie on Friday. Now, we know that Saturday is a precious “date” day and many singles save the Saturday night date for someone they have had multiple dates with. It’s actually a ridiculous rule, as sometimes you will end up at home watching television reruns if you stand on ceremony.

Her date replied with, “Absolutely not!” He added with, ” I won’t go on a second date with a woman on a Friday night. I am not ready for a Friday night date with you.” Although she explained her parental duties to him, and that she was only available on Friday night, he decided not to move forward with a second date.  We’ll never know if he found another weekday date and sat home alone on Friday, but she decided that he wasn’t for her.

The moral of the story, be empathetic to your date’s work schedule and family obligations, or you may be sitting home alone and lonely glued to your computer, and lose the opportunity to spend quality time with a date who has values.
