Saved by a telemarketer

Of all my online "friends" and dates that I've been on, right now I can only think of one that would be kinda funny... or at least a "disaster"... On AOL (not my choice, it was my parent's service) I'd posted an ad, really just for fun and to give a friend of mine moral support. One of those, "I'll do it if you do it" things. Sadly, I recieved more replies. But, one did seem interesting. I responded, and we chatted online for a while, and then on the phone. The normal "getting to know you" deal. Eventually, we agree on a date. Just a movie, and if things go well after that, maybe dinner or whatever. Well, this guy actually did look like he described (very attractive), and did actually seem like a good guy. We had fun at the movie, and decided to just head to the mall for some food and conversation. It was here it started falling apart. We found out that he also talks to my cousin online, and wouldn't shut up about how attractive she was, and how he'd like to talk to her. Not only is he talking about another girl, but one related to me! Not good. But, I'm a tolerant person, so the date continues. We decide to drive up to a nice park that has a wonderful view of the river, etc (very romantic)... but in the car, he gets very quiet. While at the park, he pulls this wonderful line on me. "I don't think we can see each other anymore. I'm a Scorpio. You're a Gemini. We just wouldn't work." While I like reading my horoscope as mucb as the next person, I don't use it to see if I'm going to work with someone or not! Especially not during the first date! (Note on this guy... he did eventually date my cousin for a little bit... who also happens to be a Gemini.. ) Ok, so maybe I have more than one story.. Did you know that girlfriends are mere "technical difficulties"? Another guy to answer my AOL ad again, seemed ok. At that time, I wasn't looking for anyone, so I said just as friends. He agreed, and we started an online friendship. It was great, and then I broke up with my boyfriend. Immediatly my "friend" decides to make his move. He had a girlfriend, and was VERY adamant about not cheating on her. Great, wonderful, I didn't really want to help him cheat in the first place. But, I get convinced to go out as friends, and he shows up at my house. With massage oil. Supposedly he wanted to help me relax. Ok.. I'm up for a backrub.. I love giving them, just as a friend... but I don't bring oil, and request that the one recieving take their clothes off! When asked why I needed my clothes off for a backrub, his response was that he wanted to massage "other areas"... to help me relieve the "tension caused by his presence." When asked about his girlfriend... his response.. "technical difficulty." Thankfully (this is the only time I'll ever say this) a telemarketer called, and I had to run to catch it, in the other room where he couldn't hear what I said. I came back, made up some frantic story about a friend in a car accident (I was out of ideas!) and told him that I had to run, and no, he couldn't stay and wait. Thankfully, I haven't heard from him since.
