Bad chat

So we've been giving My Single Friend.com a go, emailing a few fellas and it turns out that fine wit and great banter is few and far between. In fact really bad chat seems to be rather common on this dating site; I fine this some what peculiar, as isn't the whole point to sell your self!

From copy & paste emails, to dull jokes and full on spiel, we've had it all. Surely London must have a few lovely men that can be bothered to write a decent email, that's amusing, informative and intriguing. Actually just two would do.

Here is some of the trash that has been cluttering our in-boxes:

Bachelor 1:

Hi,
I'm just writing to let you know that after a rigorously brief overview of your profile I have already married and divorced you in my mind.
Thanks for all the great memories, you will always have a special place in my heart.
p.s you can keep our dog (bouncer) and our two children, I will keep the chateau in the house of France.

Best x

Bachelor 2:

Hey,

I was just flicking through the site and had to say that you look stunning.

Good luck in your search, though i'm sure you get inundated with offers.

Bachelor 3:

Hiya , Where did you get that fantastic smile from?

If you had no choice, what would you rather live on, Chocolates or Fruits?

Your profile stands out, I bet your an interesting person to know, Feathers or Fingers, which is more ticklish?

Bachelor 4:

Hi,

Great photos you tick alot of boxes only question is now do you live in killer heels as they are my weakness on a girl! x

The Traveller Type

I've recently come across a breed of men that are energetic, fun-loving and super chilled out, that being Australasian folk, otherwise known as the Traveller Type.

This one fine fella was ambitious, hilarious and a pretty good cook, so naturally I thought I was quids in! After sifting through a lot of shit on My Single Friend.com I 'd finally met someone who hadn't lied about his height, informed me of all his latest shags or needed bib to eat.

Four weeks in things seem to be going some where; well I mean I'd gotten over the two date hurdle, which was a miracle in its self. So he makes me a mix tape (well a cd actually) and I meet his nearest and dearest, and of course know the colour of his bed spread....but it wasn't meant to be, because this type of courting has an expiry date.

Expiry dating is common amongst the Traveller Type, often not wanting to get too attach when they only have a visiting visa; finding love often doesn't seem to rank too high on the European expedition.

Of course I knew his visa was running out and I wasn't looking to receive a rock, but I suppose by him ending things (over email) only suggests that 'he's just not that into me.' Now this is fine, because he wasn't my ultimate dream boat either, but it always feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth when they get there first... especially over email.

So what have I learnt; a few tunes, a four course meal and weekday sleep-overs do not a relationship make.
