“flaccid dating voice” = subject line of message
i received this missive over the weekend from the guy who showed up to our date in a tennis outfit. he wrote me on facebook, totally unprompted. my friend, who’d originally set us up, told him i hadn’t felt a “love connection,” but he and i had had no direct contact since our date one week before.
i feel kind-of bad for the guy. i think he’s a decent person, he’s just outright clueless when it comes to communicating with women. i don’t think he’s calculating enough to play any sort of mind game, but he reminds me of the “tight body under that green dress” guy who kept insulting me & then complimenting me within the span of seconds.
here’s the message:
“I really would like to state just for my own peace of mind that I don’t think I offered even a marginal glimpse into my character at fucking all… I’ve been on exactly 4 dates my whole life and I kinda hate the whole idea of it… and its not like I thought you were so super awesome or oh my god why doesnt she like me or anything, I just know I do come across as even more of a dweeb initially than I do in real life… So I am hardly trying talk you into anything, you did say you watched reality TV shows after all, and I wouldn’t watch an hour of reality television if you paid me a thousand dollars…Im fairly sure Id rather stare at a wall for an hour… but I did think you were kind of cute however, and I think you might possess an admirable degree of sarcasm- which is in my purview a pretty valuable asset… and I am going to see Shutter Island at some point even if it sucks I am gonna go, so thought I’d write you… if I dont hear back trust me you won’t hear from me again, I may be weird but not that kind of weird… for more exposition revealing character perhaps you might consider looking at my Okcupid profile, the name is XXXX, what I do on a typical friday might interest you- and if not thats cool too
See you around”
