I suppose that I should be flattered (and maybe I am a little bit), BUT I wish guys would stop hitting me up on Facebook.
Here’s an example of the latest…

SWEETIE? BABE?
The guy is calling me “Sweetie?” and “Babe?” and all he has seen is my profile on Facebook?
Give me a break.
Facebook is NOT an online dating site.
Try using Match, FriendFinder or eHarmony to find a date, folks!
Haroun Kola says
This reads alot like all the scammer emails I was getting while I was on dating sites. The bad grammar, bad spelling. And being in a West African country. No offence to that part of the beautiful continent I’m from, but I hope that you banned him 🙂
Rosalind Gardner says
No kidding, Haroun. I also suspect that the scammers are working Facebook.
Grant Goodwin says
Ros,
When one thinks about this for just one minute……… THIS IS SCARY STUFF!!!!!!!
We have corresponded fr some years now and I can understand from a male point of view the attraction. That said, i also know you are in a permanent relationship with two wonderful males; Ed and Jasper.
Would be so nice if these other so-called men, would stop for a moment and ask a simple question; Why am I doing this, this way.
To all the hitters out there; back off and get a life!
Rosalind Gardner says
Thanks, Grant! 🙂

I think that bloke is a gold digger.
His english is bad.Full of spelling errors.
Its hilarious to read it though.You gotta have a sense of humour.
Evelyn says
That happened to me too! But not with such a large proposal. I responded to a friend request on my business page and immediately the chat box came up. Some 42/yr old widower (apparently) wanted to get to know me better since I friended him. I told him I don’t chat and immediately logged off. Fortunately he hasn’t tagged me again! Very strange way to meet girls!
Michael Rytter says
That’s hilarious! Totally entertaining!
