One of the perks of blogging for Singles Warehouse? Free access to the site. I’m a bit behind on my correspondence there, but I thought I’d share a few of my favorites.
First up, I got this message within the last few days:
How are you doing today? I am new on here looking for my soul mate, I am a easy going man, i am presently in Afghanistan serving with the US Army, hope i wont scare you away with that…LOL Hope to hear back from you soon.
I have to admit – I was touched by it. I wrote him back and thanked him for serving our country. I mean, here am I, deciding which sushi roll to order while he’s facing death every day.
Then, we have the next message.
Impressing is what i describe your captivating profile as a near perfect description of what i desire in a woman ,even your picture goes a long way in describing the quintessential underlying beauty any man would seek for in a woman,i know i like you but all that don’t matter as all real love relationships begin on a basic foundation of friendship..i would like to know u better and be good friends with u and am sure something deeper will spring from there…
Ok, now this is more like it! Incoherent, no capital letters, just how I like ’em! I especially like how he describes my “captivating profile” as “impressing.” And my picture “goes a long way in describing the quintessential underlying beauty any man who seek for in a woman.” You know it. Sadly, u r not the 1.
Friends, meet Michael. He said to me:
Thanks for accepting my interest of being your friend do send me your email id for better communication.
Huh?
Then, we come across Shallow Will:
Hi Joanna,
Your profile looks great but I’d like to see more photos before we start chatting.
Kind Regards,
Will
Needless to say, I did not send Will more photos.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the email from Rick:
i am interested in meeting you , get back to me with your email and cellphone number
I’m waiting for his follow-up email:
Please send me your home address, social security number, and bra size.
