I knew my last relationship was over when my ex called me his "little rose peddle." It wasn't a typo. He repeated it multiple times...and each time I fought back the urge to vomit all over my phone. Since it was a brand new iPhone...that he was supposed to give me the money for...I resisted the urge. Looking back, I should have gone with it. Of course, when we look back it's always easier to see the red flags.
A friend of mine is equally gifted in picking out winning boys to date, but I got an email today that let me know she's learning! The grasshopper may surpass the teacher soon.
Email received today - names changed to protect the innocent and deter the pathological.
Okay, so the back story to this is that this guy (Jake) is the home owners insurance guy who came out after those storms to check Casey's roof. She immediately called me and told me how awesome he was. I, of course, am remembering Albie who was also "perfect" for me. I sent him an email and today get this reply. I'm thinking serial killer. Look at his grammar, lack of capitalization, lack of punctuation, run on sentences...including "lol" in the middle of an email. And the "have a good day and ill be watching." I'm hoping he meant he'll be watching for my email...not that he'll be stalking me.
(This part is why we're friends.) Of course I will continue to correspond with him, for entertainment value and research, but I just wanted to point out that I am learning - I can see the red flags.
For your entertainment, Jake's response -
"I hope she did also. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond i'm just so busy today is the first time i have checked my personal email in weeks. So what exactly has she said about me and my baby face? I will check my email more now so if you want you can email me back and maybe we can get to know each other a little, or as well as you can through email lol. Have a good day and ill be watching."
Ick. Not dating material...unless perhaps he bites his nails (Nail Theory) and has interesting tattoos/piercings...but that's for another blog. For now, I'll hope no one ends up in a Lifetime movie or a rose peddle situation.
