The Faker

I think the first time you meet someone 'IRL' you have no idea what to expect. This guys sure as hell didn't make the process pleasant.

He was what I think gives online dating a bad name:

• His photographs had to have been at least eight years old. 
• He'd gained at least 10kg. (hey, if the shoe was on the other foot?!)
• Although he was 'separated' his wife was still cooking him dinner every night.
• He propositioned a local hotel room and 'mutual benefits' (see point three above).
• He ended the 'date' with "I paid for the email, you don't mind getting the coffee." (notice the lack of question mark).

I did get a follow up email, text and, oh, Christmas card - signed by his secretary (unique I thought), however that one didn't get to second date...
