Man and Woman Last-Name
So I responded,
Hello ...
So quick question - am I writing to Man or Woman?
Thanks!

His answer to that?
Woman is my mother. I was using her computer last night. I'm Son.
Really?!? He used his mom and dad's email address to respond to a personals ad?
Since he sent the second message from the same email address, I commented back, asking if he's still using his mom's. Because, really, even if he's using his mom's COMPUTER, does he really have to use her EMAIL? I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually work that way. In any case, he responded telling me that he is living with his parents for the next week or so before he gets his own place. You see, he just broke up with his girlfriend of 15 years. Two weeks ago.
I'm guessing he's maybe not ready to date yet.
It's been two months since my boyfriend of 7 months dumped me. And I admit that maybe I'm not totally ready to think about actually dating someone again - this blog notwithstanding. So maybe I shouldn't judge.
But if he hasn't figured out that using his mom and dad's email address to respond to personals ads is a bad idea, then I'm pretty sure he's not ready for this side of the world yet.
So not interested.

yeah, and obviously all those free email providers have run out of names he might be able to use too...course, it could also be Man lying through his teeth. But I'm a suspicious type
ReplyDeleteI agree ... and was/am totally suspicious of him. Though it seems a little far-fetched to make up a story about breaking up with your girlfriend two weeks ago. I mean, if you're going to make up a story, it should be a good one. I think. Maybe?
