Whipped Cream on my Tragic Sundae

May 23rd, 2008

I logged onto the site with my stealthy, top secret, invisible, no profile account again this afternoon. I hadn’t logged on for a while so all my preferences had been wiped, including the one where the instant messenger defaulted to being off. I didn’t notice. In a matter of minutes, our old friend Tragic Sundae had IMed me. I rejected it and turned the messenger off. Then, to ease his tragedy a little, I dashed him a note saying it shouldn’t have been on and didn’t work with my computer. (A truth, actually.)

Tragic Sundae is persistent. He emailed back right away to ask if I’d call him if he gave me his phone number. Now remember, I’ve already told him I’m not trying to meet people here. And yet, he tragically persists. I could see a heavier hand was necessary. Here’s my reply:

I think maybe I wasn’t direct enough with you before. I did want to help you, and I hope something good came of that.

But the reason my profile isn’t filled out is because I’m not looking to meet people. So no, I won’t call. It’s not about you, I’m just not looking for anything here.

Poor little Tragic Sundae with his cherry on top. I hope he goes away now and does not start to melt on my fabulous shoes.

    Poor bastard. No wonder he’s still a virgin.

    Maybe you should explain that to him. I bet he’d be oh so grateful for your help.

    Alright, now that’s funny. Thanks for the laugh and good for you for not feeling like you have to talk to him just to be nice.

    I actually had to revise that email to remove the apologies. I always feel compelled to say “Sorry” when I deliver a message like that. But experience says it only encourages them to communicate more. Glad you got a giggle.

    Well I guess you have a stalker now. He’s probably blown up that female siloutte that says request photo. I don’t want to go into what he’s doing with it.

    Oh yes you do. Admit it.

    Go for the dinner… maybe you can charge for the advice you give and make a couple bucks… instead of a dating service it could be a stylist/how not to be a virgin service…

    Nah, that just seems mean. Plus, I’m not a hooker.

    Oh I think he’s already got a bone, and is looking to bury it. I’m not going to be involved in that.

    Ha, that’s a really cool site (OKCupid)! Been playing with it for a couple days now, lots of fun. Taking up too much of my time though. *laughs*

    That is my evil plan, dontcha know?

    I think you should just take one for the team. Consider it charity.

    I just donated a bunch of clothes to the Salvation Army, so I’m good on charity for now. Feel free to snap this charitable opportunity up for yourself though.

    Take one for the team? HAHAHA and just what team would she be ON if she did that?? ;)

    I’m not very athletic so I’m fairly sure I’m on no team. Newmie however plays lots of sports. I think this should be for HER team. Yep.

    No, I did more than my fair share of giving to my last ex. Just ask my bank account.:)

    But Newmie, is that the same as really giving of yourself? I think not. This man NEEDS you. Don’t be so stingy.
