Why dating makes me laugh

[dallasdivergirl]

Let's just start with my previous dating situation was less than ideal. When you meet guys in bars expect for them to be there every night with or with out you.

My office has 14 people, all of whom are married.

My friend pool is so shallow bugs don't even want to hop in.

So, in the lovely age of internet, I tried on line dating.

I am very specific about what I want & don't want & things I do like & don't like. It's amazing who can & can't read. Some of the responses were down right funny.

One if the pictures I have posted is this one




Great for finding divers!

and others I found out.....


For some reason his reply just cracked me up.

I'm never sure what to say but I like your profile and would like to know more about you. It sounds like we have several similar interests. So what kind of music do you enjoy? How about movies, what kind do you enjoy?
Hope to hear back from you,
Charles

Thanks for the update. I like the picture of you with the sharks. I'm a bit of a shark fan; I have a tattoo of sharks chasing each other around my left bicep and never miss a shark week on the discovery channel.

Good luck with the new relationship

I started to ask him if he wanted to see my shark dive video but I was afraid that he would just fall hopelessly in love.

I feel for ya -- I travel roughly 30+ weeks of the year, which makes it very challenging. At least my office pool where I typically travel to is nearly 10,000 strong.

but it is a cool photo

A tattoo of sharks chasing each other around his bicep, you can't write comedy that good.

BTW do you have a full size version of the pic you posted?

[No Misses]

Oh come on. Give the guy a break. He is trying. So his first attempt was lame. That first impression thing can be tough.

Happy hunting. Let us know how it goes

[Black-Gorrilla]

but who says... "i see we have a lot in common" and then has to ask "what do you like"
in other words... he didn't know anything about having anything in common with someone!

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.

You should have replied: "Don't come at me with that weak a$$ pickup line! You got no game!"

We love it when you girls throw down a challenge like that.

That's harsh. That's almost as painful as "it's not you it's me" or " I just want to be friends, shark biceps guy"

if you click on my avatar it takes you to a bigger pic of that shot.

I have a whole cd of that dive, my dive master was there with his camera and took tons of pics. That by far was my favorite shot.

Thor Thanks, but I've just met someone and want to see what develops.

that is one of the standard answers that you can give some one on the site. I didn't know what else to say besides "can you read??!?"

maybe he didn't read this part of your profile:

Gear Info: All nice new stuff thanks to the guilty ex-husband!

Wait, so is there like some check list on that dating site where you can give standard blow off lines, kind of like the polls on these forums.
_ Its not you its me
_ I'm already in a relationship...
_ I've joined a convent
_ I've contracted a rare disease and can't be around people with shark tats
