 Mr. Gecko
Date number two: Mr Gecko

Let me just say this up front.  I have no type.  I've dated all sized, all shapes, all races.  I think someone who is not that attractive to you initially can BECOME attractive through their humor and behavior.  Having said that, I introduce Mr. Gecko.

He found me on Craigslist.  He was funny and wrote in complete sentences.  Believe me, after dozens of half literate responses, a whole paragraph is like reading James Joyce.

He mentioned he had to go grocery shopping this week, and, already tired of the dinner check wrestle at the end of the night (which I always secretly hope the guy wins), I proposed that we do our shopping together.

He was funny.  He was polite.  His shoulders were as narrow as his head, his giant head which contained two large bug eyes.  Usually if a guy can make me laugh, there is some sort of heat there.  But no heat.  The pilot light is out and the gas company has not been paid.  We are just going to be friends.  For sure. 

In the mean time, let me ammend my previous statement that I would "date them all".  Because with some of these guys, it is just not going to happen.

Greatest hits:
Taiwanese guy who barely has a grap of the engrish ranguage
Surfer dude whose profile listed him at 35, but then told me that Match had amde a mistake and that he was 45.  A mistake.  Right.
The dude who listed himself as "hot guy" and just said that he could email me pics
The Steelers fan who said he might belch during sex, but he would always apologize
52 year old bald fat guy with ill fitting suit
The guy who said Patch Adams was his favorite movie.
The Kentuckian who sent me 12 emails before I even had a chance to respond to his first one

Oh so many.  Too many to list, but there will be more, dear readers.  There will be more.  My next date is nine holes with a golf pro.  Wish me luck!

I will absolutely keep posting. Every date will be chronicled so that others my share, or rejoice in, my pain.
