Damn.
You seem really great. I read through your profile word for word; thinking we’re really get along. You seem driven, cultured, intelligent, and yet laid-back. You seem to have refined taste, yet still a child at heart. Over-all [sic], you seem like the type of person whom with which [sic] I’d get along.
And then, feeling pretty great about messaging you, I get to this part; “You would pay for drinks.”
Great.
For the record, I am that guy that pays for drinks. I was raised a gentleman, and although I have complicated ideas about what that means in today’s society, I still get the tab the vast majority of the time. However, the nerve to blatantly request such a thing seems rather tactless. It says, “yes I am using you for your money, and you are paying for my presence”. I don’t know, I would never start a relationship by asking for monetary favors. It just seems bizarre.
I just really wanted to communicate that to you. I really hope you have a wonderful night, and I wish you the best of luck.”
“So, someone gave me this horse as a gift, but I’m a little weirded out because I actually really wanted a horse but I didn’t want it to know it was a horse? So now I’m going to sit the gift horse down and explain to it why it makes me uncomfortable and why it should probably feel at least a little ashamed of itself for what it did. I mean, I’m not looking for tears or anything, just an apology. Maybe a handwritten note.”

DUDE.
@horse_ebooks meets persistent dudes and the occasional pick-up artist.
Now we here at Pants Lock are imagining a relentlessly bubbly computer horse babbling to itself on what others would call a Walk of Shame and what @horse_ebooks would call Fences and Triangles.

If he makes Bingo within 24 hours, block him.
If one message fills two squares anywhere on the board, it probably belongs in our submit box.
More from the online dating vault. I have enough material to last a long long time.
Pants Lock hearts the SCUDA.
You’re right, I am fun! My favorite fun is laughing until my spleen cracks at people who reduce everyone to two-dimensional stereotypes!
You’re not “one of those sex-only types,” but you’re sneaking around on your wife. You’re clearly into relationships.

Oh god you’re like a snack machine full of everything horrible.
“Oh, man! I wanted Fritos, not Fuck Nos.”
