Steak and cheese So I went on a date with this guy that I met online at yahoo personals, and after talking for about a week straight with him for a few hours everynight he seemed really cool. We talked about everything from Animals to zodiac symbols. We even played some of those multi-player games at yahoo games. So we decided to meet up, he was only about 30 miles from me. So he drove down the distance because I guess he really wanted to meet me. So I thought great, this guy will drive 100 miles just to be with  read more..

One Thing, Then Another I met G.Parker online and after many previous disappointing match-ups I didn't have high hopes for this one. We agreed to meet in the shopping centre above the train station where we both work for a coffee after work, very casually. Things were going well, and I'm sure he was having a good time too. He suggested that if I had no plans at the time that we see a movie. I agreed because he was surprisingly pleasant. He kindly paid for my ticket and a bucket of popcorn to share. He kept wanting to  read more..

I made him cry After a lots of heartbreaks I decided to branch out and see if I could find anyone fun and interesting to date that was outside of the people that I knew. I signed up for an online matchmaking dating website. I was matched up with this cute guy so I hit the correspondence button. We started emailing one another over the course of two and a half weeks. I learned that his town is just a few hours drive from mine and that he loves to play video games. I thought cool, because I also like to play video  read more..

Needle in a Haystack I have been doing the online dating thing for about six months with no luck. I was not expecting anything special to come from this next date either but it showed promise. I chatted with Matt for a few weeks and he seemed like a really sweet guy and we clicked through e-mail instantly. We decided to meet for a quiet dinner at a downtown restaurant. The plans were nothing spectacular. I just wanted a simple date on a week night to get to know one another in person. I agreed to have him pick  read more..

Ski Day Disaster I chatted online with Robert for a month prior to setting up this date and he seemed like a very outgoing adventures guy. I thought FINALLY, the kind of person I was looking for in a relationship. We decided to meet at a local ski lodge for our first date and hit the slopes for the day. He bragged the entire morning about how much he loved to ski and how his friends had a hard time keeping up with him. I had been skiing since I was a child but was not great by any means. So we hit the first  read more..

Psycho Searcher So, I was matched with Rebecca on true.com I was actually surprised that she claimed to be a female gamer, because, hey, if you are a guy and you game, and you meet a woman who also games, you'd wanna snatch her up right? Because there just aren't that many women gamers out there? So, I was pleasantly surprised by that fact, and invited her to a game night, with plans to meet for coffee before hand. I had mentioned in my ad that I was a businessman, which is true. I didn't mention that I own  read more..

Prince Charming the Wolf After I broke up with a guy who cheated on me with my best friend I decided to take a break from the idiots I knew and see if there was anybody good who I didn't know on a dating website. I went through the profile creation process, and uploaded my best picture. After a while I got some hits but they were mostly sleaze balls looking for one night stands or people to have threesomes with. There were even some women hitting on me and asking for me to meet them. Eventually, I got a good response  read more..

Just Ugh. Why is it women think they need to be clingy and high maintenance to get a guy? What ever happened to having your own opinions and wants and ideas? Last night, despite my better judgment, I went out with a girl I met on Yahoo personals. I should have listened to my gut, even if it is rather wrong sometimes. I should have stayed home with my dog and uncomplicated life. We met at a local bar for drinks and dinner which went ok. It would have bee nice if she hadn't sent back her steak twice and her  read more..

Three-way? No WAY! Before my wonderful date with the guy who turned out to be my friend.(read my other story) I had went on a date with this Canadian who was coming to Paris for vacation. He was looking for a date that could double as a tour guide so I agreed to be his date. I picked him up from the airport (I'm not an idiot so I brought along my brother for safety), then we took him to the hotel that he would be staying in. He seemed ok and even made me and my brother laugh all the way to his hotel. We dropped  read more..

From Friends to Lovers I was sick of having dates set up for me by my mother so I decided to try out an online dating service. I followed all the instructions, set up my profile but I passed on putting up a picture. Weeks went by with no matches or responses, but I didn't think much of it-in fact, I kind of forgot about it. One day while I was checking my email I saw a notification from the website so I thought I would go check it out. Turns out someone from the same city as me expressed a wish to meet me. I sent him  read more..
