So after much thought, I finally decided to meet one of my new "friends" last night. We had been chatting for the last week or so, and IM'ng eachother during work. He seemed pretty interesting so I thought, "why not?" My friends & I were already meeting for happy hour at a place that he apparantly also frequents so we thought that would be a good meeting spot. Im there, trying to suck down a margartia b/c I was nervous, not that being drunk would be better, but still. My friends spotted him first, he was sporting a Purdue jacket, which is where he went to school, & they told me that for sure he looked older. His pro. says he's 30, but he was most def. NOT 30. More like pushing 40. So i walk over & introduce myself & right away we hit it off. We were talking & laughing for a while, then he came over to meet my friends. He kept looking at his watch b/c he supposedly had to go home to let his dogs out, but he kept ordering more wine. He stayed pretty late, & when I went to walk him out, we were standing outside his jeep for a little bit, still talking & stuff. Then he kisses me, and i went for it-- he was very charming & seemed ligit.
Heres where it gets good........or bad........ For some reason we started talking about age, & he tells me that he's "almost 30." Umm, no way. I didnt down right say, no ur not, but there was some kind of skeptisim in my voice i guess & he admitted that he was 37. So, he lied. Strike 1. We are still standing there for a few more mins. & lo & behold, a white SUV pulls up right behind us. I turn around & there is a woman looking at me with her window rolled down and she said......."Do you like my husband?" I was like, "husband?" and i looked at him & he had no expression really, then she asked, "how long have you known him?" i told her that I just met him tonight, and then walked off-shocked. Right then, one of my friends had come out to check on me, & we walked inside & i was totally freaking out. I told my friends & we were all so shocked. They were giving me shit all night, "thats why you shouldn't meet people online," etc. Its laughable today, but Im just so shocked at that jackass! That poor woman has no idea, or hey maybe she does, b/c she was really calm, (could have been shocked also) that her husband is a cheat!!!
Beware of myspace ladies!! He totally represented himself as single.
Do you think that they might have both been checking you out? As a 3rd? Didn't you already get one solicitation like that? Just a thought. Sorry it turned out bad. This is why I keep my online friends online.
That sucks. What a weenie. Do they think that you will never find out? I don't understand people. That is funny that his wife showed up though. Maybe this was something he did pretty often.

I would have never thought of this, but after rereading jess's post, it really makes sense. I mean, she just happened to show up when you were outside? Sounds like they may have been setting you up for a threesome. Either way, he is a dirty cheat. What is his myspace URL?
Oh no. She was pissed, not turned on!! And by her reaction, it did seem like he had done this before. She was just so calm about it. Its a good thing she didn't Clara Harris his ass right in front of me!
Cat- The other couple represented themselves as swingers, and said that they were looking for a girl to hang out with. This guys profile says he's single, looking to date, serious relationships, etc...
I think I'll add that line, "Keeping my online friends online, thank you."
ETA: "Do you like my husband" was not spoken nicely. More with an evil-like tone.
sorry that you had a bad experience, but that was a really funny story. that's why i'm extremely hesistant to put up an online profile using myspace, friendster, etc. on a daily basis i tend to attract the crazies, so i can only imagine what would happen online.
I think online places like that are fertile hunting grounds for married men looking for a little extra on the side.
I know 2 guys that are married that have online ads looking for some fun, I told them exactly what I think about them doing this but they laughed it off. I don't know their wives very well but already warned them I'd spill the beans if I ever had the chance to.

LOL, Halleybird, I was just going to post that. No way he's from Spain and doesn't know how to spell Spaniard. What an idiot.

Lol! He certainly isn't a very good speller. I always notice people's "friends" when I am on MySpace. I will get a message from some cute guy and then I will check out his profile and there are like 900 friends who are all hot looking girls. That always prevents me from actually writing back. I would meet a guy from online, but not from MySpace. The guys there seem like they are just trying to pick up as many pretty girls to put on their profile as possible.
I think it would be funny to post a comment about him, but he can erase it and if he doesn't, it may cause trouble. You don't want his wife to be able to track you down. Right now, she may just think you met him that night at the bar and there's no way to get in touch with you. If she saw you on his MySpace profile, she may try to contact you. On second thought, she probably doesn't know he has a MySpace profile based on the fact that it says he's single.
I'm meeting a myspace friend this friday. I did a little research on him online before agreeing to meet w/ him. He is actually pretty smart (through looking his online posts on a theology website), and I found out he was the captiain of his track team in college, seems nice enough to meet...and he's hot! Wish me luck! I'll update you on how it goes! :) Cross your fingers for me!
Haha, the next day my friends & I were laughing (crap, all weekend I've been laughing about it..) but I was so going to put something up about him on myspace. He can't delete my blog, so I was going to put "married liar" up and his profile & tell the story, but I didn't think he deserved that much attention. I guess this is one for the books. I promise I havent even been single for that long, yet I keep coming the funniest things. Oh well. :)
Halleybird! That is too funny, cant even spell............... loser.
Eek! Jess, just reading your story now. How much does that suck? Being completely footloose and fancy-free myself, don't the craziest things happen in the dating world? It's like that Sex and the City ep. about how all single men are some kind of freak and then Carrie turns into one trying to find the freaky thing about the normal guy? That's soooo the dating life.
But I don't think it had anything to do with the online thing. I've met completely normal people online and completely abnormal people. It's all the same with meeting in person for the first time. Some guy looks normal, you get along, you talk, you find out he's a freak in some which way. It's just the way it goes, no matter where or how you meet them!
The best apart about being single and dating is the fabulous stories you get to tell! I've told Lola we should write a book about all our tales. You can have a chapter Jess if you want, too!
And trust me, it's probably not the last time a cute, pretty girl like you will get hit on by a married man. They're everywhere - the pigs!
Lol, i know. Dating is just insane! I just dont get guys..... Why lie? I guess they are just so unhappy with their situations at home, that they'd go through all that trouble to meet a person online, arrange a "date," and all the while LIE their asses off about their life. Wouldn't that just be so exhausting? I couldn't lie like that to save my life!

Tell me about it! I can't keep up with my real life, much less if I created a fake one. It's all about the sex. They'll do anything (and I mean anything) to get it. Lucky for you that wife was on top of her husband - so to speak.
