Dating Story #8 - Super Smooth IM Guy
So, being on Match.com and eHarmony etc., I had a lot of communication with guys via IM before I met them. You know how it goes. There was this one guy from Match, whom I've affectionately nicknamed IM Guy. He would IM me periodically and just say random stuff. It usually opened with "hey baby" or whatever, and regardless of my protestations at being called "baby" by a total stranger, he seemed to think I liked it.
So tonight I was working on a paper and this happened:
IMGuy: hey sexy
Me: Who, me?
IMGuy: yes u
Me: heh
IMGuy: why r u surprised
Me: I dunno.
Me: What's up?
IMGuy: nuttin much
IMGuy: saw u got excited lol
Me: ...
Me: I'm online all the time
IMGuy: so your here all the time for my pleasure
Me: Uhhh... I dunno about that. I'm gonna have to vote no.
IMGuy: thats to bad
Me: I'm not really a "hookup" kind of lady
Me: So do come-ons like that actually work? I never tried that -- might explain why I'm terminally single
Me: I'll be like, "hey stud, whassup?" Yeah. I gotta vary my approach.

Maybe I'm mean. But seriously, I never flirted with this guy at all. I really loathe being called "sexy". I'm not sexy. I'm perky. I guess I could qualify as "cute". I'm cheery. I'm NOT sexy. I'm also not around for some stranger's "pleasure". Dude. Why would anyone ever think that would fly with a complete stranger? *laugh*
