MR FACEBOOK
Wednesday 12 December 2007
I get quite a few pokes, friend requests and messages from random guys on Facebook. Normally I reject the friend requests and messages but there are a couple which I have accepted because they look pretty hot in their photos (whattt? I'm a red blooded female!) and they've amused me in messages. I have met up with one person before who added me randomly via Facebook and he is a really good friend now. So I thought, what would be the harm in meeting another?
Mr Facebook came across my FB profile via a friend in common. He sent me a friend request and as he looked quite dishy I added him. We then messaged eachother for a while and it moved to emailing. He had good email banter and I enjoyed chatting to him. He finally took the plunge and told me he found me very attractive and would I fancy a cheeky drink sometime.
As we were getting on so well I agreed and we begun making plans on where, when etc. The next day he emailed me asking how I was and was I working hard - all the normal enquiries. I responded and then got a very odd email back. Mr Facebook said 'I know it is just a drink but I don't know if you are single or not, I thought I would let you know that I am not'. Hmmm. Surely I hadn't read the situation completely wrong and thought that he wanted to meet me with a hope that if we get on things may progress to snoggage and later possible bedroom antics when actually he just wanted to be friends. I re-read all our emails and consulted my life coach Mel (she's not my actual life coach - I'm not American - she's my darling Irishy pal) and there was definite insinuation of a fancying me nature from his part.
So I emailed him back saying that his email was very odd and I'm quite confused. He responded by asking me why I was confused. Err helloooo!? So I explained that he had implied that he was attracted to me and I had presumed that our meeting for a drink was not because he wanted to have sleepovers of the doing eachother's make up and giggling about boys kind. He replied by saying yes it was pretty obvious he fancied me and he apologised for not telling me he had a girlfriend and that he did want to meet with me in the hope of snoggage and possible bedroom antics.
I was genuinely dumbfounded. I asked him why he thought I would want to meet him when I knew he had a girlfriend. He said that many other girls had not been bothered about that fact. I then asked him why he was in a relationship if he was messing around with other girls. He responded with quite a frank response (normally you get the 'my wife/gf doesn't understand me spiel) of - 'I love my girlfriend and we have been together for a long time but I find other girls attractive and I want to be with other girls too'. I ended things by saying 'Basically you want your cake and to eat it too. Well I'm afraid the only cake you'll be getting is the sponge variety'.
He then emailed me and said he was really disappointed as he thinks I am really hot and have fantastic chat and to get in touch if I change my mind.
He puts the 'lewd' in deluded. Hee hee. Bring it on - gotta love that film.

Indeed! I used to think I was a good judge of character but people tend to surprise you. You think you know them and then they go all weird on you!

Sounds like a sleazeball - but at least you found out before anything "happened"!
