My friend is into internet dating.
She's got some internet skills, I wouldn't compare mine. (Not trying to say I do) but I feel she's got like no sense of whatthephuckshesdoing.
She's signed up with like 3 maybe 4 or 5 different dating services on the internet.
Apparent someone at her last job got her into it. Has she been successful yet? No!
Personally I don't see a difference between online dating services and just meeting someone online and letting one thing lead to another over time. Both are tricky and both could land you on your ass.
I tried to explain this to her. In one ear and out the other.
Mostly though its her giving out persona linfo to people she's just met. These dating services have you put in a lot of info in your profile that any smart person on the internet would know to either lie about or just not put anything. She's got everything from her first and last name to her cell phone number to where she lives. Can anyone say :
COME STALK ME???
It bothers me.
For three years she's bothered me, never understood the concept of the internet and thought it was stupid. Now she's online 14 hours out of 24 and logged onto MSN, out of that time she spends 0 minutes talking to me. She's to involved wit these "services" to talk.
A couple of weeks ago she came down to my place which is in the city, a long drive for her. The whole bloody time she was here she sat on my computer. I was like WTF? so my sister went and pulled the plug out of the wall, she left shortly there after.
She did the same thing the following weekend, so I crashed early. Like WTF did you bother coming?
This week my company was in the process of packing and shittt because we are moving. She calls me to tell me about some dude she just met. I phucked up. I wasn't watching what I was doing when she sent me his picture which was an attachment, attached to another e-mail which he sent her that had his picture attached. And this is what happened. It's sort of funny. Start fromt he bottom up.

Cool. No hard feelings.
I also want to mention that, what you received was basically one friend
talking to another. I think you might have taken it as an insult. It wasn't
at all. I was in no way in reference to whatever you were doing in the pic.
Just what I saw. Which was a crap picture to base you on IMO (Next time send
a better one ;-))
What happened was she called me, told me about this guy, I couldn't talk as
I was busy, but she was going on and on.. girl stuff.. she sent me the
picture and that's was my quick- pressed-for-time reply.
As I'm sure you will hear from X herself.... I'm not one to hold back
my thoughts or feelings. If I thought bad of you, unfortunately you would
have gotten a worse e-mail then you did. ;-)
Anyhow, I'm glad we cleared this up. Now I can go back to my own business
Carry on and have fun!

Don't tell me to relax, first off. I'm not mad at her, I am mad at you. Or
rather, was mad. I don't hold grudges and realize it was an honest mistake
on your part. I just don't appreciate people talking behind my back, I like
people saying what they mean to my face. Nothing is more cowardly in the
world than someone who hides. Yes it was a mistake ... but I'm just saying.
And it is not against company policy to get e-mails ... but e-mails like
that, well that is a little different. See what I mean? It was just one of
those embarrasing things. My boss happens to be very cool but she was
standing right there when that popped up on the screen. Fun times!!
Anyway, forget about it. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with you,
especially since you happen to be friends with someone I like. I'm actually
a pretty nice guy, but that whole thing was ridiculous. Let's just forget
about it and start over, OK? We're both stupid and what's done is done.
By the way, "run a step" means go running. Like I was doing in the picture.
I was calling you out, talking trash. Nevermind I was just joking around

Subject: Re:
Maybe you should relax a bit there bud.
Firstly people have friends in the world. They are allowed to share things
with those friends.
Secondly it was a simple mistake. I received two attachments, I didn't pay
attention to whom I was replying. Most people when they forward an e-mail, they erase the previous senders address. Common sense so things like this
don't happen.
Anyhow... Nothing bad was said. I thought I had replied to my friend. I'm
sorry if you got caught. Not like I intentionally meant to get someone I
don't know in shittt. However, take into consideration that if its against
your companies rules then I am not at fault here. You are.
Don't be mad at my friend. That would be pretty stupid. You could miss out
on making friends with a really great person. I can say that because I've
been friend with that person for 13 years.
Run what step? I don't understand what that is in reference to. but
anyhow....

Do you understand the concept of e-mail?
I'd like to see you run a step. Go ahead. Try it. Get back to me and let me
know how it goes when you get out of the hospital

WHERE the EFF is this HOT picture?
Cuz I don't see one. I see some short dude with a red shirt, bicycle shorts
and glasses on running in some race with a bunch of other guys.
How the hell are you able to tell whether or not he is hot, you can't even
see his face...
And he doesn't live in Toronto, where the hell is area code 719?

So anyhow, I don't want to stop her, her business is her business. But I want her to maybe be a bit more careful about the way she goes about it. I told her that Dating service online aren't the only place to met someone. I've met many nice, down to earth people. In fact those are basically the only one I bother to talk to. Everyone on my buddy lists I've known for a long time. I'm not into that randomly adding people Idontgiveashitttabout just to have lots of people on my list.
I fear what hers looks like.
I think she's being stupid. She's good looking, she comes from a good home, has a comfortable job, owns her own car, is just having trouble finding a person she can related to I guess. But I don't think internet dating is the answer.
Advice?
BTW anyone single, good looking in the Toronto area let me know LMFAO!!
EDIT - And if Mike is a member of this forum by whatever chance, tuff luck bud!
