Online Dating Fails: Mr. Moonlight

Posted by Princess MoMo on Nov 7 in Epic fails, Grammar, Men, Online dating

Mr. Moonlight: Hi my name is Paul I saw your profile and really liked it. I am 38 year old who is family oriented, educated, and fun to be around. I have Blondish hair blue eyes 5ft10 clean cut attorney. I am charming and funny. I am seeking a lady who is down to earth, educated, attractive, and fun to be around. If you are seeking romantic evenings, where your man cooks for you, takes you to the movies, holds your hand and then a slow dance by candle light or moon light Or you are a lady who would love to come home sit on the couch drink coffee and talk about what happen during our day. Or go for a drive and just chat and then kiss under the stars.

I just might be the guy your looking for. Maybe we can find an area of interest we both enjoy. If you would like to chat more I would love that as I really liked your profile. Thanks have a great day Paul

Analysis: The beginning of his message isn’t so bad, except for the capitalization of the ‘b’ in blondish.  Our friend Paul starts running into problems when he drops the “romantic” rhetoric.  I’m down with the man cooking for me because I find feeding myself to be a huge inconvenience.  I’m down with going to the movies on rare occasions.  I’m also okay with hand holding sometimes.   BUT, slow dancing by candle light or moonlight is where I draw the line.  This ain’t a movie, dawg.  That shit is gay.  [Editor’s Note: Refrain from getting offended by my use of the term ‘gay.’  P.C.-ness is far overrated.  Stop being overly sensitive.  It is not meant as an insult to homosexuals.  It is just a word used colloquially to mean something is whack.]

Then, in a grammatically flawed manner, Mr. Moonlight offers more options that suck.  First, I don’t drink coffee.  Second, wtf is with the over-dramatic lovey-dovey nonsense (i.e., the reference to kissing under the stars)?  Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate his attempts to communicate his efforts to sweep a woman off of her feet; however, the way he packaged it is not enticing.  This is a case where perhaps actions would speak louder than words.  Additionally, he’s from Pennsylvania.  While I’m not completely opposed to PA bred specimens, it doesn’t help matters.  Finally, two days after he sent this Rico Suave opening message, he sent another message including more recent photos of him.  I did not respond to either.
