Facebook Dating...Is it me who only attracts the freaks?

Since signing up to Facebook, I've had random "pokes", (Facebook term which means popping in to say hi!) from complete strangers of the opposite sex. In the early days I'd entertain them, curiosity and all that. Subsequently, I unknowingly ended up on "Are you interested", a Facebook dating application...the anticipation and excitement of flirting with complete strangers was fun. Eventually the flirting and numerous emails would lead to the long anticipated first date. That's where the fun ended! I use to ask myself, how does one girl attract so many freaks?!

First was the IT guy, who had asked me to email some photos, on receipt he told me I had sent him a virus but he'd the software to fix it. My knight in shining armour, you'd think...this boyo put remote logon software onto my laptop...it was only discovered when I asked a neighbour to take a look when my laptop was playing up! He recently contacted me regarding software to listen to the radio online...he got an outright NO! Can't you just do that from a station's homepage?!

Second came the guy who was using a photo of himself from ten or so years ago...we chatted a fair bit prior to arranging a first date...my intuition told me something just didn't add up, he mentioned how girls liked him before they met but gave him the brush off afterwards...I'm not into looks but honesty is paramount to me...this self confessed suited and booted rugby player looked like an obese recluse who hadn't left the house in 10 years.

The final straw was the offspring of a junkie (not his fault) who had married a woman 40 years his senior for an American visa! She was 70, he was in his late 20s at the time and he wondered why the US authorities thought this match made in heaven was staged!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has experienced such horrific dates!! Company in misery and all that! lol xoxo
