Funny Online Internet Dating Stories (Part 1) Too Much is Too Soon Todd

If you are like me you get a kick out of hearing people's funny internet dating stories. I have heard some unbelievable dating stories from my friends. I'd like to share a series of dating experiences from the life of my beautiful friend named Sara. Sara longs to find true romance and a lifetime love. She is a very busy gal and chooses to look for men online. She has had quite a few hilarious and weird dates as a result. This hub describes one of her 'romantic' dating escapades.

Sara likes the idea of searching for ture love via the Internet. She tells me it is a great way to get to know a man before actually dating him. Sara has very definite standards and is looking for specific character qualities in a man. Many Internet sites have personality tests and ask all kinds of questions to help you match up with someone who shares common interests and values.

Let me begin by telling you that Sara is a real catch. She is gorgeous, witty, ambitious, creative, loyal and charming. She has many men respond to her picture when they see her attractive features, those sparkling brown eyes and adorable smile.

Sara is not one to settle and so the search for her true love has not been easy. Her expectations for a relationship are reasonable … or so she thought... She has had the funniest and most awkward dates of anyone I know. Her sense of humor helps her to roll with the punches as she marks another potential lover off her list.

Among her many dates I have chosen to begin with this story about Todd. I will be sharing more of her stories too. You must know these stories are absolutely true … no embellishment here. Sit back, relax and enjoy the humor as I open the curtain a bit ... and let you peek in on one of Sara's dating adventures.

A few years ago Sara met this ‘wonderful’ man through an Internet dating site. She was first drawn to him when she spotted his handsome face. Next, she looked through his profile and liked what she read about this man named Todd. He portrayed himself as confidant and independent. They had similar values; he had a good job and didn't smoke. Soon Todd and Sara were chatting through the Internet connection and eventually he called her. Todd had a nice voice and a great sense of humor. They were off to a good start. Sara began to wonder, Is he the one? As they took some time to get to know each other, Sara found herself being pulled in by his wit and charm. She started to feel a connection and looked forward to their first face to face meeting.

After some time Todd asked Sara for a date on the following Friday. Sara had already committed to setting up for a Senior banquet at their Church. Todd jumped right in with an offer to help her out and then he suggested going out for dinner afterwards. Sara liked that! Again she wondered, hmmm, is he the one?

Todd drove in on that Friday night to meet Sara at the Church. Sara was immediately taken by his good looks and rugged smile. She stood and waited for Todd to step out of his car. She greeted him with a welcoming smile as he walked up to her. Todd reached for her hand and held it as he told her how wonderful it was to finally meet her. Their eyes locked for a moment and then Sara invited him in to join the group. Todd was an immediate hit with Sara’s friends. He had a great sense of humor, eagerly offered a helping hand and talked to the group as though he had known them all of his life. "Comfortable," Sara noted, "Todd is really a comfortable man." He put everyone at ease and Sara was delighted. After Todd left her that evening Sara was giddy. She noted the expectation growing within as she thought ... this might just be THE ONE.

In the week that followed Todd called her every day. They were getting to know each other better with each call. Todd made arrangements to meet again the next weekend and Sara looked forward to learning more about this intriguing man.

On their second date Todd took Sara to her favorite Mexican restaurant. They enjoyed a special intimacy known only to those who dare to open their hearts. Sara found herself being drawn in by his values, character and kindness. After a lovely night they wrapped up their thoughts as Todd leaned over to place a sweet and lingering kiss on Sara's lips. Promising, Sara thought as a pleasant warmth spread throughout her body, very promising.  Who knew that this wonderful hope would turn out to be a funny internet story?"

The next day was to be their third date. Todd surprised Sara by showing up at her door with his teen aged daughter. It was early in the morning, Sara was still resting in her room. Jill, Sara's daughter met him at the door. Todd smiled warmly, introduced his daughter and himself to her and then casually asked where her mom was. Jill told Todd she was back in her bedroom. As Jill looked on .. Todd headed back toward her mom's bedroom. He creaked open the door and looked for Sara.

Sara heard the door open and was very surprised to see Todd. Why would Todd assume he could just enter her room? As Sara wiped the sleep from her eyes she tried to focus. Todd was excited and a bit animated as he approached her. "I come bearing gifts," he teased as he handed her roses. He then gave her a musical angel as he explained how Sara was like an angel to him. Without giving her time to respond, he turned back toward the door and asked her to stay put ... he had one more thing. Todd soon returned with a very expensive jewelry box. As she stared at all of these gift items she tried to compute ... Why this deluge of gifts ... I hardly know him ...

Todd then asked Sara to sit down because he had another little surprise for her. He proceeded to kneel down beside her and then to Sara's astonishment began singing to her. "Oh my Goodness!" thought Sara - what is he doing singing to me in my bedroom! She felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. She stared at him in disbelief … Why would "this almost stranger of a man" think he could waltz into her room, overwhelm her with gifts and start singing to her. So what if he did have an awesome voice ... this man had no boundaries! Had they known each other for a long time and had they fallen deeply in love, this gesture surely would have been welcomed and treasured. But in this situation It served to frighten and alarm Sara.

If you knew Sara, you would know that she never reacts hastily in situations. She likes to take her time and process the circumstances before she makes a decision. As she moved through that day with Todd she seemed strangely disconnected from her body as if she were floating. She felt numb, disappointed and confused.

Later that day Todd told Sara he had made arrangements for the next weekend. He went on to say that he has been planning to take her to his home town. He had made a luncheon engagement with his best friend and afterwards he would take her to his home to meet his family. He continued to say how excited he was to introduce her to all of his friends and family.

The thought, "I don't even know him ..." kept racing over and over again through her mind. What was he doing talking about me to everybody he knows as if I were the Queen Bee?" My goodness, she thought, I've had three dates with this man and he's proclaiming his love for me .. he doesn't even know me. You really just can't know someone after three dates!

The funny thing about that day was that Todd was totally oblivious to Sara's emotional state. He was so caught up in his plans and his own excitement that he missed the very obvious signs of distress and discomfort that were overwhelming Sara.

After Todd left that day Sara fell into a deeply reflective state of mind. Todd continued to call Sara throughout that next week. Sara tried to keep the conversations from getting too deep. She was polite but brief. One day Todd called Sara while she was taking a nap. When she got up she listened to the answering machine. She heard Todd speaking in a very sad, almost pathetic voice. He said, "I don't know why you don't pick up the phone .. if you don't want to talk to me, I guess I understand." Sara was thinking "What is wrong with this man ... I was taking a nap for Heaven's sakes!" She then decided to take a little time to process Todd’s intentions; and let further phone calls go to the answering machine. Todd continued to call over and over and over again that day. Each call revealed a new and heightened level of anxiety growing in Todd's voice. He was getting panicked and told her he was afraid that something really terrible had happened to her. After she called to assure him she was fine ... she made a decision. Since obsession and control were on her “qualities to avoid’ list, she decided it was most certainly time to move on.

Though Sara takes a while to process all the facts, once she's made up her mind - it's done ... and so it was. It was the death of a romance. Poor Todd was left bewildered and wondering where he went wrong

Although it took quite awhile to see the humor in this dating experience, Sara is now able to look back at the bloopers and laugh.  It truly became the first funny internet story that would not be her last.  I hope you'll click on to another of Sara's dating experiences.  If you liked this one, you'll love the next two.
