Online date, a friend's wife worked with him and while I'd initially said "No", I finally agreed. We were to meet for dinner at 8:00 pm. He was 20 minutes late. I was standing up to leave when a gentleman walks in, when he sees me he says, "Shelly?" When I looked up at him I had no idea who he was. Then he says his name! The picture on his profile must been from 25 years ago! I'm there, so we get seated. As we're sitting there he begins the conversation by saying the following in a VALLEY GIRL ACCENT "Oh my GAWD, you look just like your picture.". I know I'm in for a long night. I flag the waitress and ask for a glass of wine (I normally don't drink on first dates/meet ups). Suddenly he's on the phone and say's, "Yah, she's right here!" and hands me his phone. I'm absolutely clueless, then I hear a young girl say, "I'm so & so's daughter. I want to know what your intentions are for my dad!". I'm gobsmacked, I've know idea why he did this. I mumble some platitudes & hand the phone back. Now we're ordering, I've had gastric bypass, so I'm not a big eater. I'm torn between halibut and prime rib. Before I could say anything to the waitress he jumps in and orders BOTH halibut and prime rib. I immediately tell him I won't be able to eat all of it. "Take a doggy bag home."
The whole night was filled with him talking like he was a Valley Girl. We're done and he's walking me out to my vehicle, when he says, "I really thought you'd drive a truck since you snow machine. But your Neon is cute!" How in the he!! does he know what I drive? I was there 20 minutes waiting for him. Thoroughly freaked out I say, "You know, I'm going to head back in to use the ladies room." Before he could say anything I beat a hasty retreat inside, where I waited for an hour before I had an acquaintance escort me back out. He called repeatedly, his FIVE kids called me (his profile said he had 3). I finally sent him ANOTHER email where I unequivocally stated I wasn't interested in pursuing ANY type of relationship with him.

My online dating period are somewhat a study of what men shouldn't do when they post a profile AND decide who they're going to reach out to! Especially if you DON'T have any of the traits she's looking for in a partner!
