A Little DesperateAre We?

So last night I'm on OkCupid checking to see if I have any messages. All of a sudden, I'm getting I.M's left and right.One of the instant messages came from this guy that we will call "Despo". Within two instant messages, Despo already offered me a chance to be his girlfriend. Hmmm... why are you in such a rush to claim a girl you barely know?

Well, his ONE PROFILE PICTURE didn't totally scare me away so I decided to ask him a few questions to see if he would pass the basic attraction test. How tall are you, do you work, do you go to school, do to go to church, and what are your long-term goals were the questions I asked. He replied 5'4, unemployed, haven't been to school since he graduated HIGH SCHOOL, doesn't go to church, and his long-term goal is to get married! The height wouldn't have been a problem if I was 4'11! I'm 5'5 and I love to wear shoes, it wouldn't have worked out. He doesn't worked, yet wants to get married... how exactly do you plan on providing for your family--or even yourself?! At the age of 24, Despo should have been working towards the future... but it doesn't seem to interest him.

It gets worse, after a long story of how Despo mistakenly dated his cousin for a month, I terminated the conversation. Today, he calls me and begs me to let him in my heart... then he tries to convince me to let him be a father to my son... then he tells me he deserves to be in a relationship with me because he hasn't been in one since 2003. Okaaaaay buddy, this is where I draw the line. I just sent him an I.M saying I think we could be great friends, he is not emotionally ready for a relationship and it just wouldn't work out... Can you believe he bust out the CAPS LOCK on me?! He says "I DON'T WANT A GREAT FRIEND, I WANT A GIRLFRIEND... I DESERVE ONE AFTER 7 YEARS!!!" Whoa! with that being said, I deleted his number and told Despo to do the same...

This dating life seems like it's getting worse, but I'm staying optimistic! :-D
