Grace Under Pressure - Online Dating part 3

I have heard many stories about people meeting perfectly nice individuals through online dating, people that remain friends even if they are not suitable romantic partners. However the experiences of most of the people that I have spoken to, my own experiences included, were far less… nice. Requests for naughty pictures seemed to be just the tip of the the iceberg. Some charmers think that a way to a prospective partner’s heart — or at least into their pants — is to immediately share pictures of their own personal equipment as part of their first foray into contact. Others are more inclined to request explicit acts, even in their first introductory messages, and then become quite angry when their requests are ignored or denied. Hm… I wonder why those people are single…

It is a sad truth of online dating that for ever Prince or Princess Charming out there, there is easily a dozen more… Well, you know the term. I’ll call them “frogs” for now. So a tip to everyone: treat the people you talk to like…people! That’s right! Say hello, ask them about their work, their interests, where they like to travel. Ask them if they read Harry Potter or watch Doctor Who. But start an actual conversation. I know, shocking isn’t it? An actual conversation. What has the world come to?

Got any more crazy online dating stories? Let me know in the comments!

Also a big shout-out to all of my readers. I love you guys and without you doing this comic would be nowhere near as fun.
