Lovely John Wick, an orthopaedic surgeon with the US army is longing to meet a woman like me apparently. I've told him I'm a rich divorcee looking for a man like him. He wants my email/phone number but I've said I'm a nervous flower and want yo stay on messenger. Anything you want to say to John? I'll happily Add to conversation.

Has he treated any celebrities?
Does he have children?

(Expecting him to have a son that needs some expensive medical condition or needs to fly somewhere for treatment that you'll be asked to fund)

Just looked it up as the name seemed familiar.

I wonder if the guy whos chatting to OP has ever had his car stolen?

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:27

Whoops, don't know what happened. Anyway the good news is he's an animal lover.

Say you have a dog and a monkey too!

KezzaMucklowe · 31/03/2024 12:29

Did he rescue the monkey from a circus ?

skeletonbones · 31/03/2024 12:29

Tell him all about your friend who is housebound due to terrible attacks of bursitis, NHS isn't helping her, what does he suggest? SO LUCKY you guys got chatting, she'll be thrilled to have his advice 😁

Jeffandpedro · 31/03/2024 12:29

Well, there goes my Sunday!

If you run out of ideas, search ‘Becky Holmes Hates Spinach’ on Twitter. She publishes hilarious chats with scammers.

Ask him for advice on a complicated medical issue. Say you have had lots of problems with your shoulder and are being referred for a shoulder decompression. Would he recommend it? Would he mind looking over your MRI results?

Isr John Lycetts approach. Say you are actually in his area next week for work, you see this as the universe throwing you together.

I've said I'll be in Dubai next week which is close to him - but he hasn't acknowledged that one. Strange. He does seem keen

Whereabouts in the US are you from John ?

Do his ride because you do and have had ponies all through childhood and now have a 16.2hh hunter. Being a rich divorcee you like to hunt too

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:37

Not able to upload the screenshots anymore, Wierd. But he did send this which leads to believe he's maybe not a surgeon

"Sure I can take a look at your MRI only if I know what that means"

marcopront · 31/03/2024 12:37

Can we get more information on the dog and the monkey?

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:38

I'm over investing in this and have 20ft of ironing to do so I'm just going to ask if he could lend me some money and leave it for a while.

Ask him where and even he was at medical school. If he comes up with dates and university, invent a relative or best friend who was at the selfsame med school at the same time and ask if he knows them. Say your relative/friend has the class photo with names and is going to look for John Wick init.
