I am sure you’ve probably come across people in your life who
are persistent. In the dating world this can be kind of a scary prospect. They’ve
seen your photo and know basic information about you but they don’t take no for
an answer. Thankfully I’ve only come across one person like this … he is
annoyingly persistent and I am most forthcoming with my harsh rejection, but he
still keeps coming!
First, he has the most dreaded of profiles: He’s married and
he’s only looking for an ‘intimate encounter’ … he wants to cheat on his wife.
Every month or so he sends me a message and it’s worded as though he’s
contacting me for the very first time. He usually starts with … “Hi, my name is
Ken and I am looking for a lover.” Then he usually tosses in a gem like, “Would
you like to meet today for some iced tea or perhaps some love making?” Well, I am so
thankful I have the options!!
The first time he messaged me I ignored him, after vomiting
a bit in my mouth! Then he sent another the next week, something equally as
gross. Finally I started responding to him with comments that were as harsh as
I could muster for a stranger; “Why can’t you leave me alone?” and “How do you
not realize you keep sending me the same messages?” It’s been quiet for almost
a month now…he’s probably due to message me again any day now!
Persistence in the face of obvious rejection is my least
favorite encounter while online dating!
