Beam Me Up, Scotty
|
Beam Me Up, Scotty I've often joked the most embarrassing thing about being a star trek fan is other star trek fans. Those who know me well know what a big fan i am. However i also pride myself on the fact i keep it as a hobby and don't get so ate up with it, that i lose sight of reality. It's amazing how sometimes what starts out looking like a good match can turn bad quickly. I was browsing a different dating site and came across her profile. Cute, my age, lives nearby, the profile basically tells of a single mother looking to liven up her social life. I look again at her picture and handle, and it hits me. She's a star trek fan. She's using one of the characters names as her handle, and she's wearing a classic uniform shirt. So i do what any single self-respecting trekkie would do, i email her telling her that the next generation character name she's picked clashes with the classic trek uniform she's wearing, but i do give her credit for it being the proper color. A flurry of email exchanges occur over the next two days. We then move to the phone calls. A couple phone calls later, we're discussing plans to meet. The conversation went like this: Scott: How about _________ it's about midway between your house and mine Her: Thats a bar isn't it. I can't meet you in a bar. Scott: Why not ? are you Pentecostal ? Her: No, it's just that i'll have my 2 year old along with me. Scott: (i'm thinking not that demon spawn i've heard screaming in the background every minute of this call, is it ?) You want to bring your along for our initial meeting ? Her: Yes, i don't trust anyone to babysit her. I'm a very devoted mother. She's a good . But let's pick somewhere more friendly. (this is when my own head started fucking with me and running star trek clips and soundbytes) ( red alert! red alert! all hands to battle stations ) Scott: umm uhh let me think on this for a minute, i'm not used to planning friendly dates, why don't you trust any babysitters ? (Spock: Captain, these sensor readings are not making any sense, the normal laws of time and space do not apply here) Her: I don't have any friends that i'd trust my with, she's too precious to me. If this is a problem perhaps we should reconsider (visions of Dr McCoys ex-girlfriend as she turns into the man-killing salt-sucking creature from TOS-The Man Trap) (computer voice: warp core breach in 10 seconds...nine...eight...) Scott: let me think on this a bit, i'll give you a call back later, i've got some things around the house i have to get done Round the rings of Saturn, through Uranus to wipe out Klingons! Run Scott, Run! Does anyone think it's appropriate to bring the along for a first meeting ? "We are all worms, but i like to think of myself as a glow-worm" - Winston Churchill |

Devoted mother, to the point where you're supposed to meet her and the kid and fall madly in love with both, eh? Run screaming. Run and don't look back, lest she turn into Medusa.

That is just ridiculous. At least she told you up front she was loony.

Good Grief!!!! What kind of dating site???? Bring your 2-year-old demon spawn on a "first" date...I don't think so, I don't care what planet you're from...doesn't trust her friends? Run, Scotty, Run!!!! Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure... - Lord Byron, Don Juan

Run like you are wearing a RED SHIRT!!!!! This woman is probably teaching said demon spawn to speak Klingon as a foreign language. Doesn't trust friends or family with said child....i.e. child NEVER stops screaming and she doesn't (clearly) discipline it. Also, WTF? She doesn't know you either, and she's willing to risk said platinum plated child to meet a stranger? Therby risking her and her child's well being? I know you and luv ya' but she doesn't. NEXT!!!!!!!

If she doesn't have a babysitter for this date, she won't have a babysitter for any other dates either! Run! Run like the wind!!!
