My stories aren’t anywhere near the quality of Mango’s, but the best horror story was this girl I met off of Yahoo Personals. I saw her profile, she looked fairly attractive, we chatted for a couple of weeks on IM and finally agreed to meet, and we set up our evening of dinner and coffee afterwards.
So, on the big day, I get all ready to go meet my date and I get there a few minutes early, traffic was lighter than I expected. So, I’m sitting there waiting, checking out the women, looking to see if I see my date. When finally, about 15 minutes after we were supposed to meet, this woman carrying a small child came up to me and said, “Are you TheBisch?”. My jaw had to have just dropped wide open. This woman looked nothing and I mean nothing like the picture she had sent me. I could see some resembelance in the eyes and nose, and that was it. This person standing before me was easily 200 pounds heavier, had a different hair color/style/length, wearing glasses… and what was this small addition to our date here? I didn’t realize a first date included your 2 year old child.
She explained that away, “My babysitter cancelled at the last minute, and I didn’t want to cancel on you”. Meanwhile I’m trying to recall where in the profile she said she even had a kid, because I thought I distinctly said I wasn’t interested in the instant family deal.

Nice… the old bait and switch.
