Online Dating Stories: Ground Rules

Ok–so I’m finally going to do it–I’m going to write about my online dating experiences.  Before I begin, I need to set up some ground rules…  Mainly for myself, but to have some semblance of decency, for you too…

Rules for Me

  • I will not use real names, nor give details so specific that you will ascertain the person’s identity.
  • I will not tell stories about people with whom I maintain contact or keep in touch with in any way, shape, or form.
  • I will not tell stories about people with whom I have had more than one meeting.

Rules for You

  • If you figure out who the person is, please do not let the world know who they are, too.
  • Please don’t guess who they are, either–the likelihood of you having met some of these people is extremely low.
  • Do not be offended if you think the story is about you.  It is not.  I do not keep in touch with any of the people I will write about.  If you are reading this, and you know it is about you, then you’re stalking me; please stop.  That’s creepy.

Other “Stuff”

  • Many of my meetings have been similar.  As a result, I might mix a few details up, combine people together, or separate them into different stories.  I’m sorry in advance; but I don’t actually keep notes or records on anyone.  This is ALL from memory.
  • I don’t intend to embellish any stories from the truth.  If something seems too bizarre to be true, well, it’s probably true.
  • I’m sure that I’ve been the weird one in some of these meetings.  I’m probably not going to talk about that much.

Thank you for respecting the rules, and enjoy hearing about my experiences!
