This guy...

Via POF Message - the black is the actual message, the blue is what was going through my mind...

Him: Hi how are you. I'm A**c you are beautiful

Me: Hi A**c - it's nice to meet you

Him: Ha, nice to meet you too. I'm at work, can I text you when i'm off hun

warning, warning, warning.... do not correct his grammar, it's rude.

Me: I don't text right away. I've had too many bad experiences with guys who are less than moral... i'm sorry that you have to suffer for their mistakes. I'd be happy to talk to you on here.

Him: Ok, i'm not like these other guys hun. I'm retired military I work in repossession and i'm in process for Snohomish county sherriff's i'm very loving caring guy and very affectionate person.

Holy cow, does this guy know what a comma or a period is? Lets change the subject and see what he says...

Me: Repossession? That must be a hard job. I'm glad my car payment is in full. LOL

Him: Ya I'm been doing it for 5 years. Also I had a lot of bad experience on here just one last night I get a lot of girls playing a lot of games on here I don't judge everybody the same. i'm looking for a long-term serious relationship no games If you like we could talk on the phone or text 425-***-****

Dude, what part of I don't text right away don't you friggin' understand. I know that he can't be that dense, well actually.... he probably could be.

Me: I appreciate your tenacity, but I told you - i'm not going to give you my number this quickly.

… immediately I started wondering if he knows what tenacity means. It must be "keep trying, she'll give in soon enough..." in his mind.

Him: Ok, good morning I was wondering maybe we could meet for coffee or drink this weekend.

Me: I have my son this weekend we are leaving on a trip and i'm spending the weekend getting organized.

Him: Ooo k hun

Seriously Hun, i'm not your hun... is that supposed to make me feel more at ease because seriously, it screams CREAPER

Me: I'm really picky about who is around my son and my weekends with him are just that, weekends with him.

Him: Ok I understand. I'm not like these other guys like future is to become a police officer.

Evidently this guy thinks that cops can't be bad too. I'm going to immediately trust you because your attempting to be come a Sherriff. I think you need to work on your writing skills if being a cop is in your future.

Me: Thank you for understanding, there are lots of guys who don't understand what it's like to be a single parent. Yes, well I know plenty of police officers who aren't great guys outside of their work... cops have a reputation for being cheaters.

Him:  Ook I'm not like that, well ok, good luck to you.

Me: I think you misunderstood, but ok... take care

Him: Ok, I understand. I understand you had a bad experience but it seems you judging everyone is bad person I've been screwed over a lot too but I don't judge everyone so bad.

Oh screw you guilt trip guy, it isn't going to work. I can't imagine a relationship with you... i'm pretty sure you'd leave the bathroom smelling rancid but say your crap doesn't stink.

Me: Well, I guess that just makes you a better person in your eyes. I'm not going to let you make me feel guilty for taking things at my own pace and comfort level. Take Care.

Okay buddy, start walking. I'm beyond not interested and trying to remain nice. Take the hint...

Him: ok you too.

… and the heavens opened up and the angels sang halleluiah... he took the hint!

For those of you wondering, yes i'm still dating the other guy... however nothing is committed (my choice) and things are starting to fizzle a bit. I'm just keeping my options open.
