today i got a big scare (well... no, i wasn't held up at gunpoint). i was logged into nerve.com when a window popped up. someone was trying to "instant chat" me. it was this 44 year-old white guy (obviously oblivious to my "27-36" age range preference). one of his photos was of him lying on his back on his bed in his boxer briefs. come on! plus, he was also one of those men who want to date everyone but black women.

anyway, he kept typing and i kept ignoring his IM. he wrote:

"are you trying to be sneaky and play on this at work, too? lol"
"you're very pretty."

i was frozen in fear (i know... it's not like i was on camera, but STILL! eew!!") i decided i would try and pretend i had a browser malfunction, so i just quickly logged out. i'm telling you. having your online status known whenever you log on to nerve can be tricky. why couldn't it be someone i'd WANT to chat with sending me messages? jeez.

and yes... with all these online dating neuroticisms detailed here... i am still dateless.
