Okay so I'm new to the online dating scene, so I thought I'd start small and try out a speed dating website. They have events at restaurants once a month, locally. Safe, right? In a crowded place with other people around...
And, the service wants you fill out a profile online and post a photo (which I did) so that guys that who are interested could e-mail you, get to know you, before the event. But the problem is, they are from all over the U.S. (just in case you feel like paying money to fly somewhere to meet a stranger who is kinda wacko. Not!)
So I'd thought I'd share some responses I got already - I have changed the names to protect the (not so) innocent here.
This guy can barely speak English.
Miami83ESL - you beautiful. I like what see. Me in Miami, but will marry you no problem. We get married, yes? Please reply for me. I wait for you.
This guy talks about himself in the plural sense.
FrodofredNY - Hi Pretty. The world is a lonely place and we need affections met. We wish you would contact us so we could meet the girl of our dreams. Let's get to know each other better. Time is too short on this planet and we are destined to be with you.
And of course my favorite:
U&Me69 - Let's just skip through all this and hookup. I got a big one and the babes love me. Please reply.
Reply? Man I'm runnin for the hills. Now I'm scared to death of this place. Are these
guys for real? Thank God they're not local. Which makes me wonder about the local guys???
Maybe I should cancel the event? What do you think?
btw, here is photo I posted of me...

Nice pic, you look very pretty and sweet.:) You should certainly cancel this event that will be crowded by ridiculous people. I think you prefer to date a serious candidate.
Well no wonder the weirdos came out by the hundreds, you're gorgeous!! You don't need to hang out at meet and greets.
Do what I did, just hang out around your local hosptial until you catch the eye of a nice, single doctor. That's what I did Lol!
Thanks for finding me, I'm looking forward to getting to know you

I think...you should leave your profile up and continue to receive responses just for giggles. Take your seriousness for online dating to another site, hopefully a more local site.
You guys are so great!!
Sharda: Think I'll go anyway. Might meet some gals my age that I can go look for Mr. Right with in swankier establishments. And it'll be fun fodder for the blg. :)
Deb: You are so sweet! Hmmm...hospitals...I like it. The cafeteria might be the right place otherwise I'll look like a stalker leaning against the nurse station all day. ;)
Who Does That: First of all I love the name of your blog. As I already post (on your site) taking your advice, and the Matchmaker should be a hoot. Check back for that post. :)
unfortunately, weirdos are all over the world,I'm afraid. but you look so beautiful in this picture you posted to make one even 'marry you without problems' as I understood. So be positive and the right one will pop out somewhere. in the meantime redirect your attention to territories you feel safe in.
