Reader Mail

If you have a story about your online dating experiences you'd like to share, type it up and send it to me -- samsingleguy [at] gmail [dot] com. I'll publish it here for all the world to see.

Note: you may want to change names to protect the not-so-innocent.

Dear S.S.~

As a member of a few online dating sites, I am quite a fan of your blog. I received this e-mail yesterday and thought I would pass it along. I didn't make this up. After reading it the only thing I could possibly think was "what?" Looking at it again, I'm pretty sure Santa just asked for a booty call in an e-mail through a dating site.

Single Sam, Thank you for not resorting to this type of behavior while trying to find a lady.

Sincerely,
Charlotte



Dinner with Santa?

The reindeer and I will be in Festus for two weeks while the sleigh gets serviced and I thought it might be fun to meet some of Santa's helpers while I'm here.

In all seriousness I am traveling on business and thought I might as well get as much use out of this service that I am paying for as possible and hoped you might take advantage as well.

I am simply looking for a sweet lady who would like to go out a time or two while I'm in town and have a good time and show me the sights. I'll even spring for dinner.

I'm not looking for anything more then a fun date unless lightning struck and fireworks go off and in that case you could always move to the North Pole or I could open Santa's workshop in Missouri.

I love movies, country and western dancing, I can waltz and jitterbug (swing) as well. I'm open to any fun event ide as you might have you only need bring a smile and well yourself.

So please feel free to take advantage of a nice guy willing to buy you a meal. After all who would deny Santa Clause even in September.

This e-mail came with a picture of the offender, who looks NOTHING like Santa. He is nearly twice Charlotte's age and lives several states away.

The first thing I noticed was a spelling issue. Santa Claus is a jolly old soul who brings presents to children at Christmas time, whereas (The) Santa Clause is a crappy Tim Allen movie. Learn the difference, people. Secondly, the guy who wrote this probably thought he was being funny, but somebody really needs to let him know just how damn creepy this is.

It's people like this guy, the self-proclaimed "Santa Clause" from an unidentified southern state (think about where Pee-Wee went to look for his bike) who make me feel a lot better about myself.
