Hazarding Online Dating (AKA WHY AM I DOING THIS?)

So, I've recently started really hazarding the online world of gay dating.

It's been an interesting experience.

I'd like to share with you the following conversation:


Random Guy Online: whats up????

Me: Not much. You?

Random Guy Online: not a whole lot just at home hanging!!!! no plans tonite???

Me: Not really, I don't think. A friend is supposed to come over, but I don't think he's gonna make it.

Random Guy Online:that kind a suck!!! sow what are you thinking to do now???

Me: Probably watch a movie and get to bed, unless he shows up or I find something better to do.

Random Guy Online: u want to meet???

Me: Can I ask why everything ends in three punctuation marks?

Random Guy Online: nothing in particular, just a habit that i have........ i think making things in group of three is nice.

Me: Ha ha. Are you proposing something?

Random Guy Online: not really, like what i said its a habit!!!

Me: Got it. It sounded like a threesome pun.

Random Guy Online: lol!!! want to meet???

Me: Well, I wanna give my friend the benefit of the doubt first and see.

Also, the punctuation is a bit intense.


OH MY GOD.
Mind you, this guy was cute!

So, now, the same conversation, with commentary:


Random Guy Online: whats up???? Four question marks? This should have been the first tip off to RUN AWAY.

Me: Not much. You? Being corteous.

Random Guy Online: not a whole lot just at home hanging!!!! Again, four? What the hell? no plans tonite???Hey, we're moving in a good direction. Down to three. Tonite? Really? This guy is 25.

Me: Not really, I don't think. A friend is supposed to come over, but I don't think he's gonna make it. Honest. Nothing too exciting.

Random Guy Online:that kind a suck!!! Still three...Wow. It does kind a suck. sow what are you thinking to do now??? Wait, am I being called a pig? (3)

Me: Probably watch a movie and get to bed, unless he shows up or I find something better to do. Not entirely true. At this point, I'm trying to end the conversation and be done.

Random Guy Online: u want to meet??? AHH!!!

Me: Can I ask why everything ends in three punctuation marks? Avoid question.

Random Guy Online: nothing in particular, just a habit that i have........ i think making things in group of three is nice. Okay, I think that's a sex pun. Funny.

Me: Ha ha. Are you proposing something? See comment above.

Random Guy Online: not really, like what i said its a habit!!! God, he's dumb too! And they're back!!!

Me: Got it. It sounded like a threesome pun. Maybe it was a joke, and the sarcasm just didn't work.

Random Guy Online: lol!!! want to meet??? How old are you? Thirteen?

Me: Well, I wanna give my friend the benefit of the doubt first and see. What this really means: I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO AVOID YOU.

Also, the punctuation is a bit intense. Closing arguments, prosecutor?


So, really, why do I even try?
