I vaguely remember emailing a girl on POF shortly after I first joined, but did not worry about it when she did not reply. Dating sites are like shooting with a shotgun – some of your pellets hit the target, but many miss. I got a reply back from this particular individual several weeks later, complete with phone number. It struck me as strange that someone who didn't know me that well and had never spoke to me in person would all of a sudden ,just out of the blue, leave me her phone number. Likely I should have run like a chicken, but since I had not been with anyone steady in a long time, I decided to take a chance and texted her.
She told me that she wold love to meet me one day, and maybe go for coffee or something. So after about 70 text messages from her over a span of two days, I agreed to see her. She drove a long way to see me. Almost 60 miles. It was kind of an ego boost for me that a woman would do that just to see me.In person, she seemed to be really nice. Easy to talk to. The fact that she looked pretty hot only added to the pluses. I edged the conversation around to see if she would be interested in spending the night. Much to my surprise, she accepted but said it would have to be at her house because she had to return the car soon. As we drove to her house, we snuggled and then started to stroke each other. I had to back off because she started to really get into it at one point and almost went off the road. We got back to her place and started listening to some music while snuggling on the couch.
Suddenly, she started getting text messages by the dozens and she started to focus on replying to them. Then her phone started to ring as well, and she kept answering it. I really thought it was quite rude for her to be spending more time on the phone than with me. On top of that, what little time we had between interruptions was taken up by a monologue on her part about her ex boyfriend and all of her trials and tribulations with him. Like I was really interested in him. So I sat there absentmindedly making sympathy noises while I got more and more steamed. But hey, I must have done something right because we eventually had sex so it was worth listening to her shit. As we were going to sleep she got up and went into her roommate's bedroom to spend the rest of the night. I waited up for a bit to see if she would come back, but I gave up about a half hour later and decided to just sack out.
The next morning, the first thing that I did when I woke up was to start preparing to leave. As I opened the bedroom door, I saw her roommate standing there looking at me as if I was something squirmy. I could see a lot of anger in her directed my way. Then it dawned on me. Her roommate had a thing for the girl who had brought me here. Just to tick her off, I decided to delay my departure long enough to have a shower. Unfortunately, the water reeked so bad that I think I was dirtier after the shower than I was before it. Needless to say, I was pissed as I toweled off.
After I dressed again, I went back to the bedroom and waited for my date to come in so I could find out what the hell was going on. Most importantly, I needed to find out when I could escape from this crazy place. She came in and told me that the car she drove to pick me up was not her friend's but her friend's mother's. Her friend's mother had read her the riot act and kicked her out. She had an hour to pack up and leave permanently.
I noticed she looked like she was on something and her roommate looked all strung out as well. A weird looking guy came over to take us to her (my date's) mother's house. The house was set back about a half mile from the road. When we got there, there was a bunch of sorry looking people hanging around. They all looked like they were on something pretty powerful, and from the strange smell around, I guessed that they were actually cooking up a batch of something out back someplace. They were just hanging around in a stupor listening to loud blaring music. It was wild. It was sort of like one of those bad nightmare scenarios that you see in some B grade Hollywood movies. I started to get a bit scared.
A couple of them actually got into an animated discussion as to which train I had to take to get home. My date and her mother left me standing there for a few minutes, and when they returned, we left. The strange guy driving dropped the girl and her mother off at another destination and we continued on.
This guy really freaked me out. He was all in black, had his hair spiked and some of his teeth filed. About the only thing that he needed to look more like Count Dracula was the cape. Of course he also needed a good Bela Lugosi accent. Either way, I was weirded out. It was the constant grinning that got to me. I was pretty sure I would crap my drawers any time now. I gave my kegel muscles a good workout on that trip. I had my ass clamped as tight as a teenager in prison. I was beginning to think he was going to take me all the way home, but he finally stopped at a train station and let me out. I thanked him and literally ran inside.
I had to walk the streets of this backwards town for three hours before the train arrived, and then I didn't have enough money to go all the way. So I got of about an hour from my home and thumbed it the rest of the way. It had started to rain, and it was getting colder. I was pretty wet and miserable by the time I got to my apartment. I tell you, it had never looked so cozy. The first thing I did was take a nice hot shower in 'clean' water.
Plenty of Fish might better be called Plenty Of Freaks from my perspective. From now on I will gladly pay any dating service I join. There are times when you get what you pay for, and totally free dating sites are the epitome of that expression. There is nothing much that filters out the riffraff on free sites.
Not all free dating sites are bad, but there are those out there that seem to have a majority of total morons who wouldn't be able to get away with the crap they pull on a top notch free site.
Once I had made the decision to leave POF, I had another issue to solve. How would I find a replacement site that was actually better. After a lot of searching, I finally found a site that rated a bunch of dating sites. It has been successful for me, so I am passing that on to you. There are risks in joining any dating site, but especially so for free sites. So be safe. The link below is one that I have used successfully. I trust it will be a valuable resource for you as well.
