mortensorchid Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 A funny thing happened in the computer lab today. While I was sitting before the computer a man comes up to me. He said "Excuse me, I don't believe we've met, but have I seen your photo on a website at some point? As in a dating one?" I said I wouldn't be surprised if he did, and at some point, we had, in fact, communicated once or twice on Match. It must have been sometime in the last year or so, I honestly did not recall him, but he recognized me for some reason. I asked if he was successful with the online world. I was sad to hear him say that he wasn't. He discovered much as I had that people are not honest about themselves in the virtual world. I said I had encountered similar things but neither of us went into detail about our stories. We had both left that scene. We ended things nicely, shaking hands and saying it was very nice to meet in real life. Just a funny story I thought I would share.

I probably couldn't swing a dead cat around without hitting a woman that's done online dating. This is today's "You look really familiar, have we met before?"
Author mortensorchid Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 I for one know that this particular person was not lying to me. He asked specifically if I had this certain photo in the photo spread I put up on my profile. I opened my wallet and showed him said picture and he said "That's it!" So in this case I did believe him. As for your observation, OP, that is certainly true that is is a pick up line, but this one is an exception.
