Adventures in Online Dating

Can they really be called adventures if one hasn't been on a date with any of the creeps yet?

OK, I joined Match.com a while ago and so far, not so good. I have been "winked" at by men older than my dad and I have gotten emails from "men" who still read comic books regularly.

One of those men, whose profile says he is 39 but his pictures say he has had nine too many 39th birthdays, emailed me and asked me to "hang out." Well, that night I had to work late, as in 1 am, so I emailed back without realizing he was a definite no and told him I was working overnight and so maybe another time. He emailed me again that same night and said

 "Call me as soon as you get home and I will come over and we can hang out and be night owls."and his phone number.

Needless to say, I never replied. A couple of weeks later, he sent me another email. This one said

"Can we talk? You seem cute and sweet and in need of a good guy. Call me..."and his phone number.

Seriously, dude? Yeah, then right after that his "caption" on his profile read: Love BIG bouncy hooters. Clearly I shouldn't have passed this one up.

Then I got winked at and emailed by an overgrown teenager who claims to be an adult. He still reads comic books regularly while he drinks his kool-aid. No joke.

Then I got IMed by a guy who only talks about the woes of his high school years. He is older than me so I am thinking it is DEFINITELY time for him to let it go.

Then today I got emailed by someone who has already called me "sexy lady" twice, told me he bets I am probably a good kisser and can't wait to find out, and wants me to come to his house (an hour and a half away) so he can make me dinner.

Are any of these people normal? Is that too much to ask?
