At Last A Response To My Computer Dating Application

The Whaaaat??? Computer Dating agency sent me your revised request for a date with me, Mr. Chappell. After you attempted to send a photo of George Clooney and pretend that it was you, I was torn between suspecting either fraud or a joke. Going with the latter I requested a photo of the real you and the photo of The Creature From The Black Lagoon arrived this morning. My friends sadly suspect that this may actually be you though you poor thing. Your responses to some of the dating questions seem debatable too. Your hobbies - Stage diving at stand up poetry events, making model warships from ear-wax, megalomania, and collecting the Z's in alphabet-Spaghetti seem odd. You seek a partner who dotes on your every word no questions asked, and who will help you build a pedestal for her and who is willing to be your designated driver at any beer festivals is off-putting. You claim to be eight foot-twelve, with flowing locks of blond hair, and to be a mime-artist-concert pianist. Somehow I suspect a touch of deception here. You promise our first date will be a real treat, and that if I wish, I may order myself two take-away cheeseburgers, but if I want more, we should go Dutch - is that tight-fistedness masquerading as charm? You are waiting in the Dog & Duck, with an Aspidistra so I recognize you easily on my arrival - you may find I am fashionably late by about 2,000 years. Good luck on your next date. Yours faithlessly - Kira Arthur Chappell

Both hilarious and clever - a girl would be mad to turn down a date with you

@jaboUK that's my next chat up line now - I'll show girls your quote and say they have to date me so they don't get regarded as mad

I dont think Kira is serious about your date at all. But ,on the otherhand, what if the person waiting for you in the Dog & Duck with a pot of Aspidistra in her hand would turn out to be a beautiful lady?

@mammots it's supposed to be me waiting with the very big plant in the pub - not Kira.

I know, she would feel so spoilt by my extravagance wouldn't she?

I got lost right at the first line. Then as I read along, I thought, you were in trouble. But right about in the middle it gets sort of crazy and wondered if it's a prank. In the end, I had fun reading this. xDD That's all I can say

@mnjhun1 not in trouble at all - it is entirely a silly fictional article

I feel as if I were reading a script full of wit and humour .I have an antipathy to this woman who is in a condescending way and finds fault in a petty manner .

Thanks for the chuckle. I never did online dating, but can imagine that happens.
