More tales of Online Types

And the list continues...

Mr. Rebound
I steer clear of these guys if I can so my experience with them is low. I just don’t date guys who recently came out of a relationship or are separated. And there are plenty online. Most are honest and will say in their profile, “just got out of something, need to take it slow” or put themselves in the category of “separated”. Because I’m looking for more of a Mr. Right, these guys just aren’t in a space where they can put that kind of attention. I did meet a guy who claimed he was divorced only to dig deeper in the conversation and find that he was actually in a messy divorce and custody battle. Like the Monopoly game, I did not pass go and collect $200. I got the hell out of there.

Mr. Crazy
I have a special nack for pulling in the slightly off centers. Perhaps there is a sign on my forehead that only appears to crazy folks which states “Your kind is welcome here”. I’ve gotten crazy emails, cyber/telephone/email stalkers and guys literally on medications. Some I can weed out as soon as I get their email. One guy’s first email to me requested that I be his wife. Naturally, being sane minded, I ignored it. Some time later he sent an angry email asking why I did not want to be his wife. I blocked his email.

Mr. Taken
So I read somewhere that 60% of the people on some of these sites are actually already in relationships just looking for validation, ways to cheat or backup if things go wrong with their current partners. Well, that’s disheartening. I can’t say for sure that I’ve ever met this type but I wouldn’t be surprised if I had. This could be the guy who doesn’t keep in touch much, maybe only wants to be email or text buddies or wants to get intimate way too early. Therefore, he could easily fall into the categories mentioned above but actually be more at home here. Be on your guard, you just never know.

So that sums it up ladies and gents. Try to avoid some of these guys (or gals, just replace the Mr. with a Ms.) but if you can’t, just take heart, you aren’t alone!
