Oh, what a timely topic for me!!

I signed up for POF probably over two weeks ago now. As of this Friday, I was asked out on a date.

Two things that are stopping me from accepting this date proposal: He is ELEVEN (11!) years older than I am (I'm not sure if people from different times in their lives is something I want to get into really) and he's not religious, and I am.

But other than that, he's a very different person than the other guys who I've met through the site... from those who start messages with "Hey baby" (BLECH) to asking about sex and "hooking up" to even one guy who professed that he wasn't employed, that he sold illicit drugs for a living!

Most of them have been horrible spellers and bad grammar to boot. I don't like being the grammar freak, but if you cannot spell simple words then you're either lazy (which is sad, considering a browser like Firefox does spellcheck FOR YOU) or you've got a learning impediment of some kind. I'm betting that most of the men I've met have been the former, not the latter.

So I suppose I've not had any luck yet... but on the other hand, one of my friends got married to a wonderful man that she met through POF and he's pretty much great and they've now celebrated over a year of marriage.
