Wow! A nice man who works at a military base in the United States has just sent me a friends request on Facebook.

It must be my lucky day.😂😂😂😂

I don't know - would you like me to ask him?

Has he got his name on backwards? Williams Mark keeps trying it on with me but until he puts his name the right way round I'm ignoring him.

OverthinkingRogue · 19/08/2024 14:46

Oh my! I hope you have plenty of money to send him! He'll obviously be in dire need soon 😂

That's nothing Johnny Depp liked my photo on Instagram the other say

If he is a dog lover he must be a really nice guy . Maybe you could join him for long country walks .

Fraaahnces · 19/08/2024 14:53

I keep getting requests from men in American uniforms with trucks, motorbikes and guns. I really, really want to know what it is about my profile that thinks I could possibly be attracted to THAT??? (My profile picture is my dog, my DOB is listed as 1901 and there is zero personal information.)

I predict ddog will be critically ill and need your funds soon.

Well I would, but the walk would have to involve a long swim across the Atlantic as well, and I haven't the time for that sort of caper.

You will be on one of the following shows by the end of the year:
Catfish
90 Day Fiancé
90 Day Fiancé reverse

So you had better tidy up the house

pinkyredrose · 19/08/2024 15:06

How many children/ill relatives does he have in other countries?!

Ask him how much money he needs transferred over so he can buy you that wedding ring?

JabbaTheBeachHut · 19/08/2024 15:09

Did he send a message that begins with "Pardon me ma'm"?

If not, tell him he's catfishing wrong.

mrswhiplington · 19/08/2024 15:11

You must start practising your sad face for when the TV/newspapers come knocking after you've parted with all your money.

Really? You've made my mind up for me then. I've always wanted to be on the telly.

If he's not a surgeon saving lives in Africa, he's not even trying.

YorkieTheRabbit · 19/08/2024 15:17

I’ve had several requests recently, one rather dashing surgeon, a handsome chap in uniform, a UN doctor no less, a serious looking man who thinks I’d make a great friend and another who seems to like to post lots of inspirational quotes.

MelodyMalone · 19/08/2024 15:17

Better stock up on iTunes gift cards.

Grazyna80 · 19/08/2024 15:18

Awww you lucky thing!

That's nothing! Stephen Mulhern follows me on TikTok with all 9 of his accounts! 😎🤣

No, they have to start by liking your smile* and having found your posts to be interesting and full of your natural humour.

*even if your profile picture is of your dog/cat/bookcase.

coxesorangepippin · 19/08/2024 15:20

Wow

I usually get retired US army doc veterans

Looking like Mitt Romney

nozbottheblue · 19/08/2024 15:22

Love this thread.
I entered into conversation with one who worked at the UN a while ago, but he seemed unclear about what he did there.
I was genuinely interested 😉
