My family wanted me to get a match.com account. So I got one just to make them happy.

I don't see the point of paid dating sites when one can just get ignored and waste one's time for free?

The last dating site I was on was eHarmony. I started talking with a lady, and later on we decided to meet. We went out twice and then on the third date the conversation went something like this:

Me: What did you say your grandfather's name was?
Her: XXXXX XXXXXXXX
Me: What was his parents names?
Her: James and Bessie XXXXXXXX
Me: Was James' father named John?
Her: Yes, how did you know?

Turns out her great-grandfather and my great-grandfather were brothers. She was my 3rd cousin. Her great-grandfather was never spoken about on my side of the family. The creepiness factor went through the roof.

No way.... Yikes... Awkward.

Could have been worse, but still. Awkward.

WHERE IS THAT NOISE COMING FROM?!?!?!?!
I keep hearing a noise, but its not my cell phone but I keep hearing it. It sounds like a notification sound, but my phone isn't set up with that sound! :argh:
Did you ever figure out where the noise was coming from?

My family wanted me to get a match.com account. So I got one just to make them happy.
Did it make your family happy? Mine pestered me until I caved and joined Christian Mingle but after my experience on there they now leave me alone. ha ha ha! Hopefully, your family is satisfied.

What, your own family pressures you into going on dating site???

Whats with these ppl?
Dont complain about being single, cos then everyones solution and advice is ...go get scammed. Christian mingle has to be the most hokey sites out there.

They leave me alone now. I think it's also a cultural thing. Where I come from by the time women hit my age they have been married for years and usually have a kids. It's annoying but I know they mean well and just want me happy. No, I don't complain about being single. Would I like to be married? Yeah, but I don't seek a boyfriend/husband anymore. If it's God's will it will happen and if not, it won't.

If it had been the first time something like that had happened, it would have been. But my ggg-grandfather moved to this area around 1760, so I have a lot of relatives around here. Which is also why I inquire about the genealogy of my dates.

My parents, my mother in particular, would never in a million years pester me to join a dating site. She doesn't even like the thought of me posting on internet forums. Lol. I'm convinced she thinks all of my internet friends/acquaintances are serial killers.

That is a very wise decision.

Sadly, not a clue. If it had been more constant I could have tracked it down. :(
I am guessing it finally stopped...so that's good at least. Maybe it was just a neighbor with a loud tone?

Awww, cant you people just let the past stay in the past? Okay, yes. I used to be a cereal killer, but that was back when I had substances in my system. Don't you judge me, you have the munchies and tell me that Fruity Pebbles isnt the most AMAZING cereal in the world and NOT kill a box or two.

If I ever find myself in the land of the talking mouse again we should play a trick on your mom. Tell her we are secretly engaged.

All you gotta do is make sure Daddy Spaulding only has bean bags in his shot gun. :D

I can take a few welts for a good joke........ I aint losin my life.

As far as I can tell its stopped. I doubt it was a neighbor though, it sounded loud enough as if it were in the room with me.

Maybe ghosts have smart phones too. :dontcare::mmh:

Yeah, unfortunately Im all out of scooby snacks or Id call on the mystery machine.

Of course, they would only find out that it was the old man from the amusement park. But at least he wouldnt get away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids.
