A Rose

 " a rose by any other name would smell as sweet " or NOT.🌹

The saga of my online dating experiences continues....

Enter from stage left Kurt. He seems nice looks a lot like the late great actor Gene Hackman. Not classically handsome but interesting. And he is local another check in the plus column. He is asking a few questions nothing out of the ordinary. He asks if we can make a plan to meet and yes I think that works for me and this means he is a real person right? Wrong, so fucking wrong. He actually calls me and I immediately recognize the accent and I am 99% sure this is the same first two Italian men who tried to scam me. I know, like I know, like I fucking know that voice and accent. So...BLOCK..BLOCK!

Searching for Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater

Dating online is not for the faint of heart. The one man real man I did connect with and was my first date since 1991 was so sweet and will call him simply Peter because I never got his first name or cell number.

He lives in Hayward and we agreed to meet halfway in Point Richmond which is by the way a very cute little town. We me for morning coffee at a sweet little establishment called Kaleidoscope Coffee. Sitting outside the conversation was easy and I could tell he liked me. He really wasn't my type though so even though I told him we could do it again I panicked once I got back on the road. I thought oh God what have I done. I am thinking maybe I am not ready. So once I was home I sent him a message on the dating app.

I was kind and just told him hey I don't thing I am ready for this dating thing. Okay, I know some of you know the story so I will admit his crooked teeth bothered me. But and this is a big BUT I thought it over and with some push from friends I tried to get back in touch with him. Being the anal retentive that I am I had deleted the messages on the dating app. So goes the hunt for Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater. And, no I am not the pumpkin. LOL

I knew some facts like he teaches physical education and health at two schools that are close to each other so close he said he walks from one field to another. Remember no last name. So, the search still continues to this day. I can not find him on any school staff lists. I even used AI to find schools that butt up against each other. They could be in Hayward or anywhere in Contra Costa. He is no longer on the dating app or I just can not view him I don't understand how these stupid things work. And before you think or say it yes I did contact OurTime.com and they couldn't help me retrieve or gain access to the message board or Peter.

So if you see Peter tell him to give me a call.

I don’t know who this guy really is but I have seen him on more than one dating app by three different fake profiles.😔
