To My Friend's Ex-Boyfriend....

All work makes it hard to email match.com-ers! So I finally get back on to check my filtered mail and had a delightful message entitled "Holy Shit!" of course the first thing I think of was oh crap, what ex-boyfriend/high school acquaintance is this? Luckily it wasn't an old flame instead, I found:


"I read your blog that Carla posted on fb and decided to give this place a try. And then bam you show up in my matches! Small world huh"


Hmmmm, so my big question because this person is a friend of a friend (and I just realized is her ex boyfriend!!!) and is normal for all intensive purposes is: what in the world about my blogs make you think "hey, sounds like a great idea!"???


"I would like to be booty called by strangers on vacation, asked for kinky sex relationships, and be ogled for my long neck too! Sounds delightful!" Now I will give match.com this, it is great entertainment! However, for the aspect of finding my soulmate...at least I don't have to kiss frogs, I can just hit the politely reply no thanks button. Does that count for anything? 


All I can say is rj882, I'm so glad I could inspire you to embark on a similar quest for love? I hope you have a girl request pictures of your feet, ask to tie you up before your first email response, and wink with both eyes!


Update:
My Response was:
Ha! What about my blog made you think "that sounds like a good idea"? I feel like I was highlighting all the crazies on here! Are the girls as funny and crazy as some of the guys are?

Katie


His Response was:
Katie, 

Oh I am sure there is a plethora of crack pots on this site, and you do an excellent job writing about them. I really have not spent a whole lot of time doing this whole online thing, so I am sure you are more hip to the scene. Fortunately for me, I have not had to deal with anyone crazy...yet 

You're cool, that's why I gave this site a try. I am down in the valley for the next week or so; we should hang out sometime. 

Rich


OK, so my first response was "have you not heard about the code???" You know, the one you learn in junior high that teaches you not to date your best friend's ex-boyfriend because you lost your best friend as a result? Out of confusion I sent my friend Carla a text:


"So rich emailed me a we should hang out message on match, is he just naive to the don't date your ex's friends rule? Or is he just that much of a natural douche bag?" 


Her response was "He may be a bit on the naive front." So Rich, be glad your ex girlfriend is a classy gal, cause she saved you from the hearing my rant when I received your message! But word to the wise: Don't try to date your ex's friends! - The know all the dirty laundry about you and in most cases the details of why you broke up that even your girlfriend didn't share with you!
