So, it has finally happened... I met a NICE guy. Now, I know what you are thinking: Could this actually be possible? We have spent the last three months discussing all of the guys out there that are less-than-nice, and why not... what evidence do we have to the contrary??? Well I may have to change my opinion about men as a whole (even if it's just a little bit). I had my reservations about the online world from the beginning. As you and I both know, it is easy to paint a picture of who you want to be, rather than who you actually are. You may say you are 6'1" and athletic, charming, handsome, and make over $100,000 a year, when in actuality, you are 5'9" and 250lbs, living in your parents basement and working at McDonalds... I give you most of the credit, Hot Mama, for encouraging me to take a chance on some of these guys and actually meet them. Mr. Nice Guy and I have been emailing for about two weeks. I travel a lot for work, and so does he, so meeting each other in person and coordinating schedules was semi-challenging. We finally determined a day that would work (Saturday night), and I was assuming that he would suggest something standard like coffee or drinks. You know, the usual "safe date." I was pleasantly surprised to get a text message from him the day before with four different options to chose from. SERIOUSLY, FOUR OPTIONS! They ranged from a fun outdoor date to dinner and drinks at a swanky outdoor restaraunt downtown. I was late (whoops), but he was already there when I arrived. He was polite and interesting. He offered to pay for everything, and he paid attention to what I said. It was like being on a date with someone that I already knew. Hot Mama, I think that there MAY be some hope for us after all. Maybe we just have to be patient and weird through all the weirdos and their Frankenstein shoes, to find the nice guys, who will schedule in advance and actually plan a date and not make us do all the work. We have already made plans to go to dinner on Friday, and yes, that is a whole 5 days notice. This is already a refreshing change of pace from the late night texts of Mr. Mixed Messages... I don't want to get too excited because he could still be a typical man, but who knows, maybe Mr. Nice Guy actually exists.

Eager Beaver,
So glad to hear it! After my first couple of bad experiences a month ago I was ready to take down my profile but you convinced me I needed to stay on for awhile. And really I don't know what I was thinking: that Mr. Right was going to suddenly appear after just two weeks online? I mean, I've been alone eight years! Also, I had to hold onto the belief that I couldn't be the only sincere person (in my age group) online. I know that there are women online who're just as into getting laid by a stranger as men are but I'm not one of them and I couldn't believe that every man was just dating online for sex. There are other websites for that. Since then I've met a couple of genuine men and am so relieved to find that our faith in men has proven worth it. That being said, some of my friends are still having to "weed through the weirdoes" as evidenced by the picture of Howdy Doody-with-what-looks-like-a-fake-mustache-living-in-my-parents-basement and, even creepier still, the kissing dolls over his shoulder! Yes, this person actually expressed interest in my friend who is slim, trim and hot!
These are the guys that make you want to scream at the top of your lungs WTF! WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE NORMAL MEN?!!! We don't need JFK, Jr but REALLY? Since I haven't met Mr. Right, I know I'll still have my share of weirdoes to weed through but at least now I know that not all of them will be like this guy. Does he turn the dolls faces towards the wall when he's having sex (if he has sex - really, don't think about it, you'll gag)? Or does he want them to watch and learn? Seriously, who the hell raised this guy?
