Girl Meets Boy Meets Food

Follow this young New Yorker as she navigates the dating world, online and otherwise, and discovers some great restaurants and bars along the way. Some of these messages were sent to her and some were submitted to her by friends. They're all equal parts crazy, weird, and inappropriate. (And you can submit your messages now, too!)

For the sake of her dates' anonymity, they will be named after a food or beverage of her choice. Maybe randomly and maybe not.

Something on your mind? Email her, send a note, or use the ask box! She's nothing if not available!

Your profile is short and sweet but I get the impression that we may hit it off. I would really like the chance to get to know you better. Maybe if I’m lucky you will let me take you out for a drink. I am curious to know what your experience at [redacted college name for my own anonymity] was like. I always think of that movie Rules of Attraction when imagine going to a liberal arts school in the northeast. Seems pretty fun. I hope we can speak and see what happens.

How are you? Great I hope. You were in my daily matches and your profile really stood out from the rest. It would be nice to connect with you soon. Take care.
Match.com message. I cannot emphasize enough that if something in my profile stands out, say what it was! I am not a mind-reader and a message is meant to be a conversation starter!

First off, your name alone caught my attention, its a beautiful name and one I said I would name my daughter; when I have one. Second, your profile was short but to the point, I love trying new foods of all cultures. Grammar and spelling is one of my fortes. (sorry POF has no accent marks) I would love to grab a cup of coffee with you sometime.

Regards.

P.S. I know all my pictures scream guido, but I’m not a fist pumping, tanning bed, Jersey shore going guido. I promise!

Plenty of Fish message. Why wouldn’t you upload new photos, then?

Match.com message. Is that last sentence deliberate or a typo? I just can’t tell.

Well was going to try something witty and charming but figured I try being honest and straight forward. I love to laugh and am quick with a joke, though to be honest they’re pretty bad. I think you’re flat out gorgeous. I’m looking for sweet, honest, caring, great sense of humor,smart, easy to talk to; you wouldn’t think that was too hard to find lol. So, would love to talk sometime and see what happens. Hope to hear from you.
Plenty of Fish message. I asked him what his witty and charming approach would have been.
