Dating Chronicles: Here’s what you’re not going to do…
I think we’re long overdue for another edition of ‘Dating Chronicles’, don’t you?
This edition will be shining a spotlight on the guys whose profiles are the exact opposite of the messages they send me. You know the type I’m talking about, the ones who are quite raunchy and explicit with what they plan on doing to my body in their messages to me, but when I click their profile to report them I see their overflowing love of Christ all over that page.
Umm sir!
First of all, I don’t appreciate the vulgarity in my inbox. I’m a lady and expect to be treated as such. What on my profile led you to believe that you can just approach me any ‘ol way and think that I’ll respond kindly to that? I’ll wait.
I’ve been deleting more of these messages and didn’t even want screenshot the one that prompted me to write this edition of ‘Dating Chronicles’.
Here’s another one who’s message completely threw me off.
Umm sir, what school did you graduate from? And why didn’t they teach you that run-on sentences are a no-no?! Now that I think about it, maybe English isn’t his first language.
And this one…I don’t even know where to begin. There’s like no punctuation and he claims to never be on OKC, but his profile says “replies frequently”?! Come on!!
Needless to say I didn’t respond to either of them. Sometimes I wish I could send gifs in OKC messages, if so I probably would’ve responded with something like this.

Ugh. Online dating. I love the line in You've Got Mail: "As far as I'm concerned, the internet's just another way to get rejected…"
I hate online dating. And yet, there I am…
