Dating sites

I was reading today about some people's experiences with dating sites and it reminded me of my own.

There was one woman who I'd exchanged a few emails with and all seemed quite promising. Then I happened to mention I'd recently got an MBE and she appeared to take that to mean I was some monarchist loving twit and she dismissed me.

Another one seemed to have some pre-arranged "emergency" giving her an escape route if she wanted it when the phone call came. Nothing wrong with that...except by then I realised I would have taken second place to several ferrets that she was very keen to talk about but had not mentioned as an interest previously.
