Light Bulb Moment

Last night was painful.  I was chatting along when someone who seemed smart and kind messaged me.  So, like a fool I gave them my IM address on Yahoo!.  The conversation has been so painful that I can hardly see straight.  It has actually caused me to be crabby.

You may be asking why I don't just shut this person down and block them.  Well, because I am evidently a bleeding heart schmuck!  This guy lost his wife a few years ago and has three little kids. 

First, my profile has four photos of me.  In my opinion this is progress for me.  It took a lot to put that many photos up.  Right away this guys ways "well that ain't much".  But, I have only seen 4 of him and am supposed to think he hung the moon.  And no, he is not attractive to me. 

Second, he is depressed.  He says he came to the penpal site looking for a romantic partner (as in he wants to be married yesterday).  He says he came "lonely, angry and much more".  He wanted to know if I was looking for something "real and meaningful".

I just have to say that the "real and meaningful" things tend to come at you in life when you least expect it.  He should know this.  But after some awkward conversation he was calling me "Love".  That irks me because only one person has referred to me as "Love" and I pretty much got dumped there so not a good sign.  I think this guy is willing to attach himself to anything that will hold still. 

On a lighter note.  I had this wonderful island man from New York that I was chatting with.  He is charming and smart.  He asked if I like chocolate.  So, I gave this big dissertation on how I can keep one candy bar going for about a month because I am good after one bite.  Haven't always been like this but it works for me now.  He died laughing and said "I meant do you like chocolate men?"  I about died.   So now, he is named Chocolate and oddly calls me his white chocolate.  How delightfully sappy.  lol
