Welcome to Worst First Messages!

In this day and age, everyone and their brother is on a dating Web site. And if you've been on one for more than five minutes, you've gotten them - those unbelievably lame, skeezy, and unintentionally hilarious first messages from people whose goal is *supposed* to be attracting you rather than making you run in abject horror. This blog is for sharing the utter joys of those messages.

If you've gotten a message like this on any dating Web site (or even a similar "intro" message on an instant messenger or through e-mail), take a screenshot, edit out any identifying names/user info and send it to worstfirstmessages@yahoo.com, and if it's hilarious, I'll post it! If you think your response is particularly witty as well, feel free to include that, too. Make sure you also tell me who to give credit to for the submission, if you don't want to be anonymous. You can use your real name or a screenname, doesn't matter to me. If you don't specifically tell me who to give credit to, I'll just keep it anonymous.

Resistance is Futile

I'll start things off with a tale from my own life that's a crazy SECOND message. Well... second message through 13th!

I met this charmer on a popular dating site. His first message to me was reasonable enough, so I sent off a short but nice enough response. It was bedtime for me, so I logged off and went to bed.

I woke up in the morning to 12 notification e-mails from that Web site. He had sent me not one, not two, but 12 messages. I'm a zaftig woman and am happy with myself as I am, so I enjoy dating men that like women with my body shape, but this was just insane. Here are his messages:

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:08am

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:17am
I'm completely interested in you. My secret is that I'm shy but a freak! lol. I'd do anything for you ;)

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:20am
My tastes are all for your body type and your personality. I love that you're really just a big beautiful woman! MMMM, lol.

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:22am
Sorry for asking so many questions I just pictured you as being really amazing :D

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:26am
sorry if this came off weird, I didn't mean it to.

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:30am (system message)
user [edited out] added you to his favorites and wants you to know. Since you haven't saved him, you have some options:
Add him to your favorites, and let him know
Add him to your favorites, without letting him know

(Award message:) I'm giving her this award because she has completely surprised me and surpassed all my expectations already, she is sweet and sexy :)

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:32am (back to messages from him)
I'm really sweet it's just I'm also really passionate and find you to be amazing. I just wanted to talk about that because you told me finally and I wanted to know what you liked and what you didn't like.

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:36am
I have a secret fetish for big women but you are proving to be way more than a fetish. I think you're sweet and that's what gets me :)

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:41am
I hate this I get all into it and people think I'm a creeper or something I'm not. I just like every part of your body and your smile. You are so sexy. You are exotic to me. I feel addicted I want to grab you to release my anxiousness.

Oct. 16, 2010 – 1:53am
I like that you're bigger than a normal bbw. That's the biggest turn on for me. You must be so soft and squishy and cute. I would love to cuddle up next to you all the time and never leave your side.

Gee, you want to "grab" me to "release your anxiousness" when we've exchanged all of 10 sentences? Well, who could say no to that eloquent expression of romance? Oh, wait. Me!
