I will often times browse profiles when I have nothing better to do. I came across a guy who had a pretty high “match percentage” for me, although in theory that doesn’t mean anything to me. So, I clicked his page, read about him, and then checked out his photos.
His name is Tony.
I know this because in real life I know Tony. I worked with him a few years ago for a short while. His main picture somewhat disguised his face, which is why I didn’t realize it sooner. As soon as I realized this, I practically jumped and immediately moved away from his page- nothing against him- It’s just… awkward.
I hadn’t talked with Tony in at least a year, so when out to a movie with a friend, I got a text from an unknown number that said “You scopin’ me out?” I assumed it had to be him. When I got home, I logged onto the website and sure enough had a message from him that said “Hey baby, wanna make out?” Oh geez. He immediately starts talking to me on the website via IM, and I apologized- I didn’t mean to creep his page, I hadn’t realized it was him. We chatted for awhile and caught up.. old friends, whatever… very normal.
I didn’t expect what happened next. I get a text the next day, “Wow, I just didn’t ever realize how sexy you are!” Oh no.. “Okay.” “Seriously, you are hot! Your boobs are huge!” Ugh… SO not what I want to hear from this guy. I told him that while I am flattered at his sudden interest, I was not willing to go there. “Why not?” I told him that since I knew a few people that he had previously slept with, I just wasn’t interested. Were there other reasons? Of course… but this seemed to be the easiest way to stop the madness.
A few days go by, and I get another text message, once again about my boobs. I told him he needs to back off and he’s not going to see them. “Even if it was my birthday?” “Even if it was your birthday.” Apparently I am mean.
I wish I could say this is the only experience where I ran into someone from real life.. but alas, there is more.. Stay tuned.
