...with embarrassment?
I've been trying out a bit of online dating. It seems to have worked for some, and with a busy full time job and kids at home (some of the time), it's tricky to meet new people.
It's been quite slow so far - I've done my best with both pics and description, tried to be charming/not a freak in messages, and I'm being honest with myself about my chances (ie not messaging perky 19 year old students...), but no replies.
Finally, today, I've received a reply. Someone of a similar age, (no kids so fingers crossed not going to see this), lives fairly local, seems nice.
Personally, I'd far rather meet someone in person than spend ages online (MN excepted...). So I asked her if she'd like to meet for a drink.
But no. I realised after sending that my auto-fucking-correct changed the word, so I actually said:
"Maybe you'd like to join me for a deposit?"
I've just offered my services as a sperm donor, haven't I?
AIBU?
to curl up under the desk...

Was deposit supposed to be date?
Ha Ha ! ROTFLMFAO
Sorry, I am sympathetic, honestly. But really, it is very funny.
So turn it into a joke and be honest! Tell her you're mortified and that there is no way you meant it in a weird way....
I would go out with you just for the humour factor (except I'm fat and old so you wouldn't want me anyway) 
ha! you think that's bad - I called my brand new boss by the wrong name today!
I feel you're pain!
you should make a joke out of it - call yourself a right 'banker' - wanker, geddit?
it's still salvageable with some bad humour 
Wilson I read that as "as long as you wiped it off"! 
I'm not sure I'm safe to be let loose on dating sites without supervision. ..
Brilliant - but tbh if I got that message and then another apologising for the autocorrect and you were not in fact offering to upduff me I'd think you were honest and had a sense of humour! I'd be more 
if you didn't have the confidence to re write it.

I have just woken my DH up by laughing so loudly. He was having his usual nap after work.
That is brilliant. I once wrote about the importance of pubic awareness, so I cant talk. 
It's a very long time since anyone offered me a 'deposit' (sadly). How old is this lady? You may have made her day!
(Although you will have to make good on your offer if you are not to look a complete wanker )
Am still laughing - even poking myself in the eye hasn't seemed to stop me
Oh and yesterday, just slightly off subject, tied my dog (very old with cataracts) to the end of a bench and went in shop. Came out and he was under it in the shade with three old ladies sat on bench. I went to untie him and apologised to the lady on the end, cos he was trying to walk through her leg as if it wasn't there iyswim. I said 'sorry he cant see your leg he's blind as a bat' these days.
Unfortunately I didn't look up whilst saying this. If I had I would have seen the white stick propped against her other leg and the dark glasses.
So Ginno if the ground does open up for you give us a shout , I'll join you.

Aww that sucks. For what it's worth, I would bum you
That was a joke. Felt the need to point that out.
