I got catfished once. The woman used multiple photos, and we talked for months on the phone. We chatted online on computers too. Imagine my surprise when we first met, and she wasn't who she made herself out to be?
Now people would be wise to have live video, or assume it's all a lie. Back when I met the woman in my situation though, smart phones and webcams were not really a thing yet. It's a lot easier to be sure these days!
When I was single and looking to marry and have children, I tried match.com. What a joke that was. The women just wanted to be wined and dined. No one wanted a serious relationship. Then I found eHarmony. It matched me to some wonderful women, but they were all 39+ years old when I was 34.
My goal was to have children too, so being matched to older ladies was of no help to me.
Eventually, for the hell of it, I tried catholicmatch.com. That's where I met my wife. This September we will be married for ten years. We met online through the site on August 4th, the next weekend we met, and by the end of August she had moved in with me.
We were married September 1st of the same year. Yes, it was fast. Neither of us had lied, we were who we said we were, and we wanted the same things in life. Sometimes, you really do find what you're looking for, and you don't have to wait to bump heads in the produce department either.
P.S. I've never been on Tinder, but I've heard horror stories from it. It didn't exist when I would have been using it anyway. You telling guys you were bored made me crack up though, for I would have immediately swiped you away. It's my job to entertain you? Pfft. ;-)
Oh that sucks. What a waste of time and effort! I'm glad it worked out for you in the end though.
As for swiping left on me, that info wasn't in my profile and it only came up if they asked. So you would have had to ghost me.
This was so enjoyable to read hahaha
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Omgsh, so much good stuff here I am not sure where to start.
The list prior to this is hilarious. Actually everything you wrote had me giggling. I am still kind-a upset the guy you shagged ghosted you. His lose. The one the got away. can we get him back some how?
Also, thanks for the shout out, you are too cool for school!
Thanks @kubbyelizabeth. It's fine. I knew it was just a hook up.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Your ability to be so light hearten about the situation is amazing to me.
Hi choogirl. Thanks for posting this. Was it "lonelyness" or "itch for adventure" or just plain "bad luck" that directed you towards the many attempts to have a relationship?
I don't know. But it generally leads to entertaining stories.
Haaaaaaaaa ha haaaaaaaaaa ha haaa... "entertaining stories"... yes, definitely. I am looking forward to reading more!

Even as a millennial, I could never get into hooking up on Tinder. I ended up finding my wife on Interpals, which is more about language learning rather than dating.
Interesting. I've never heard of that one. Maybe I'll check it out for some new material. Plus my Spanish really needs to get better.
Lol shagging some chick off the internet is such a Scottish term it genuinely made me lol!
Thanks @meesterboom. You make me laugh every day with your posts so I glad I could return the humor. I should have written "bird" though. I've now edited it.
Wayhay, even more authentic with bird! Hehe it was very good, it did make me giggle
Hahaha! That was a super fun read!
Thank you @teamsteem! I'm here to please.
Great Post @choogirl, but unfortunately showing the sad truth of the superficiality of todays society... In my opinion people rarely really connect to each other these days anymore...
Thank you!
To be honest though, the conversion rate of bar hook ups to relationships is also pretty low. Tinder just gives you access to more people.
hahaha i loved this post
my favourite part was the first bullet point being for 'guy holding up a fish'
I was never single since tinder has been around, if I was I feel like i would have been a big tinder user back in the day but then with everything the novelty wears off!
You should try some other kind of dating app/site and review that for us too!!! :) or re-install tinder just to message the vegan guy who you thought might be the one who got away!
Lol. Yeah, I got sick of guys holding up fish. So they had to go.
Well there is a vegan dating site my friend messaged on FB so maybe I'll try that when I'm back home at Christmas. It'll give me some new material for steemit if nothing else.
