Round One: Grammar FAIL.


So here is my first round of messages from my foray into online dating. I'm too nice of a person to hurt anyone's feelings, so instead of responding to them directly, I just post them online for all to see and have them giggled at anonymously.  I know, I'm a winner.  So here we go into bad grammar land. Because that's the way to win a girl's heart.


" Y are u single u seem like a really good girl smart sweet and know what u want out of life"      

After reading this I had to sit on my hands and not answer back, "Because it's hard to find guys with good grammar." Come on guy...you even mention I seem like a smart girl. Why would a smart girl want to start communicating with someone who sends messages that make her eyes burn and her brain implode? THAT is why I am single. "


"Hi im corey how are you i liked your profile and would like to know if you wanted to talk"

Where is the punctuation for these people?!?!?!!? Are they all missing the punctuation keys on the keyboard? No, I don't want to talk to someone who cannot find the comma, apostrophe, period, or question mark keys on their keyboard.  What if, when you were typing, you were actually thinking this? 'Hi? I'm Corey? How are you? I liked your profile and would like to know if you wanted to talk?' I don't want to talk to someone who is unsure of his own name. In fact, if you don't punctuate your messages I'm going to automatically assume that you are constantly having questions and exclamations for everything. At least that will entertain me.

This one completely confused me. I have no words.

 "sorry i dont fit you profill shoud of read it first."

What? Is he telling me that he doesn't fit my profile? Or that I don't fit his? And why is he messaging me if I don't fit his profile? I'm so confused.  I looked at his site. He has a daughter. Except he can't spell daughter and says 'dautr'. I feel so sorry for her.

And here's the icing on the cake.

"Hello, Im amazed to see that you and I seem to be a 89% match.
You look like a very sweet girl, and Im not sure how much you play into the match of this site.
But if your interested, I invite you to come check out my profile.
Hope to here from you soon,
Courtney :-)"



Yeah. I pulled a girl. And she didn't even have good grammar. Yippee.
