To think that this is not the way to go about getting a second date?

[Mooja]

Well?

Haha, I was reading that earlier too, with horrified fascination...

2 words - lucky escape!

I can't imagine the horror she must have felt! Who would do that?!

Good Grief. He sounds like a stalker! What a delusional freak! I would be a little scared receiving this and be seriously considering moving house!

Is this just a made up letter or has someone posted an email they've received?

I wonder if this person could be on the autistic spectrum.

My favourite line has to be It would be very convenient for you to date me because we have the same interests. What a nutter!

I thought the exact same thing Mincepie. I read down through the comments and several people mentioned the possibility too as well as an Aspie guy.

I'd be inclined to think possible ASD as well, or at least raised by fraeks with no social skills.
However I do think that it's both sensible and polite, if you don't want a second date with someone, to respond to the invitation for a second date with something like 'It's kind of you to ask but I don't think we're really suited, goodbye' rather than just ignoring the person. Even though anyone within the broadly normal social spectrum should get the hint if calls and texts are not returned.

I hope this is invented. If it's real, I suspect his unfortunate date will never go to the NY Philharmonic again without bringing a bodyguard or wearing a balaclava!

I've bee getting emails like that from my ex-H for the last 2 & half years - identical
Phraseology (sad & disappointed) and very similar motives (I need to know why so I don't make the same mistakes & you can't hurt me more by telling me). The arrogance (the stuff about a real job) is similar, too!

I'm interested at the mention of autistic spectrum -exH has always been socially awkward but totally oblivious to it!

Oh wow! He sounds dishy.

The comments are very funny (feel a bit put put to see non-MN internet wit of such a decent calibre. Adn they're terribly polite too. The bastards)

Dear Mike,

After you DO murder me, which I now believe, after re-reading your letter, is inevitable, please do not eat my face so that my parents may enjoy an open casket.

Sincerely,

Lauren

Dear Lauren,

I would never eat a person, eating a person would be wrong, as I said I would never eat a person. Stuffing you into the walls of my mother's home is an option however.

Love, Mike

P.S. See you soon!

Freaking hell!! Dmitri answerphone message another psycho trying to get a date. Its disturbing and hilarious in equal measure.

I ahve come across a Mike/Dmitri before, recently actually, but thankfully just the one - i do hope they're not common. I got a volley of aggressive, (failed) manipulation, psycho-analysis/character assassination because I said Goodnight in a manner he did not much care for.

I tried to convince someone on another thread today that internet dating can be fun!

Those comments are brilliant, espesh the last one!

I thought he had some very cogent arguments, surely highlighting the convenience of having the same interests is good in a relationship!

pajamagram: Oh boy they are good.

Mind you I heard from a long ago ex a few months ago, who I always thought was sane (Apart from the fact that he married and divorced a loon after we broke up), but he sent me a completly insane rambling rant, (having not spoken to him for 10 yrs) which freaked me out somewhat, so I didn't reply.
