A typical internet dating scenario:

An email in my inbox from someone I've glanced at but not communicated with:


Subject: hi
Message: am happy to read your profile on here,i hope you can write me on my yahoo address at ********@yahoo.com
stay bless
s****** c****


Right away I'm thinking scam, because of the butchered English and the immediate request to chat outside the dating site's context, but I go ahead and reply to the yahoo address she offered:


Hello, S*****!

Just returning your email!

Woot


4 minutes later, I get a message that she's inviting me to connect to her on Yahoo Messenger, and 3 minutes afterwards I get this:


Hey Dear,
I’d say thanks for the notes we share, At 30, I would like to think I've already
seen some of the most handsome men in the world. Yet here i sit, trying to determine
if after all this time, I'm just now seeing "THE" most handsome man in the world. I
realize pictures can be misleading at times. the certain angle, light, look on one's
face. Many factors lead into a "great shot", but at the same time, people can look
very different in everyday normal life. One's demeanor and personality is not
addressed at all in photos either. With all that being said, I'm still completely
taken by yours. I would be beyond honored to explore a friendship with you if you're
at all interested. I realize one could never ask for much more from a complete
stranger. Obviously there has to be attraction, chemistry and a certain comfort
level between people for anything to go any further. I think i can safely say
upfront that comfort level won't be an issue, but all else
remains to be seen, of course. Therefore, I can also say that there are no
anterior motives or expectations beyond meeting and looking at a friendship. I'm
someone you won't be sorry you met, even if we were to walk away and never see each
other again. I just have this incredible desire to meet you. Just to walk away
saying that I have, would be a dream come true within itself.

Respectful, professional, trustworthy, dependable, good listener, supportive, a true
gentlewoman and a real friend...just a few adjectives I would like to think describe
myself. I realize we all have our different tastes and preferences and if you're not
open-minded, I may not look like someone you envision yourself being with - but
hopefully, still someone you wouldn't mind at least getting to know. No demands, no
pressure. You won't be disappointed. Maybe I'll hear from you soon. I'll let you
decide if I'm worthy of at least making the "friends" list or not (LOL!).However,
I'm sure you get tons of messages everyday and I won't be offended if I don't hear
from you. I feel much better simply having the opportunity to show my interest,
whether ever reciprocated or not.i hope i didn't scare you anyway. did i touch ya
heart? hope to read soon from you. better still send me more pictures of you i would
really love to see more of you.

Be safe, be bless, and always be determined
S***** C*****


Irritatingly, this isn't even the first one of these scenarios. I chatted with one young woman(????) a while back who claimed to be in Albuquerque but from PA, had very strange English, repeated herself word-for-word several times, and finally asked me to send her money so she could come visit.

I'm about ready to abandon the whole project and go back to trying to chat up not-obviously-with-someone women at bars and parties, and asking my local friends to make some introductions.
