Am I Famous Now…

Yeah, we’ve got the internet and it is a nice thing to have. It can definetely help our lives, a lot of people discovered that lately. So did a colleague of mine as well. He’s a sysadmin and we live in the same building. Just like me he has been outsourced to Brighton and our employer took care of the renting place, so we didn’t have to look for one. Occasionally he comes over to my place, well actually almost daily. He has been working at American Express now for almost 2 years and really enjoys it, something I don’t understand, but that’s another story.

Suffering of the huge amount of working hours and the stress, some weeks ago he registered at an online dating service. Actually he seemed to be quite popular because after only some days he started to IM daily with some chick, webcam activated. He was very proud of the use and possibilities of the Internet and soon started loosing himself in it. Every night he came to tell me about her.

(yes, there’s more to read)

Even not one week after they ‘meet’ he told me that she would come to visit him and that he really liked her. I was very calm and relaxed about the whole thing and just told him that I would be there for him when it didn’t work out. The last weeks a lot of drama has been going on, they have been bitching loads of times at each other, had online arguments, sad feelings and she almost dayly told him she wasn’t coming. Lately even a female colleague became part of the whole thing and she spoke/wrote to her dayly as well, actually the online date asked for her all the time. But due to the intervention of ‘really adult people’, they still planned to meat eachother.

Some days ago I went over to his place, because I needed something for a computer and interrupted him in the middle of some drama. He was argueing with her coming or not. She was supposed to come yesterday and he got more and more excited eevery day last week. I heard her saying that she didn’t want to come anymore, at least not till monday when our female colleague was back in Brighton. Huge scandal and loads of jealousy filled his living room and I could feel the electricity in the air.
I finally saw her online for the first time. But actually I didn’t care either and never looked at his new desktop background, featuring her in a nurse dress. Oh I think I forgot to tell you that he is 37 years young. Yes life goes fast. My first reaction when I saw her was :: ‘Damn bad camera she’s using’ and my second was ‘Holy shit, this can’t be true’.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am definetely not the person who cares a lot about the physical appearances of people, they will hardly help me judge a person, but SHE was genuinely ugly. I got shocked, especially since he is quite smooth-looking and a funny guy as well. But who cares, his problem. Going truough his stack of hardware, looking for that one PCI-card, I heard there dialogue in the background. They were just that loud, I couldn’t ignore them He was mentally at his end and almost crying. Hearing this I just ’shouted’ :: tell that bitch to come over here and not behave like a kindergarten-member. Yes I do care about him, because I have to work daily with him and don’t like it when people play with others feelings.

BLING ! I hit the bullseye there. She obviously heard me and started a new drama, telling him that a cunt like me shouldn’t get involved into his life, he shouldn’t listen to me and blahblahblah. I finally found what I was looking for and took off. The next day he told me about her reactions after she left :: now she didn’t want to come at all anymore, being surrounded by assholes like me. Who gives a fuck, I answered him. You see what you got, for weeks she has been playing with you. I always warned you and told you I’ld be there for you when she doesn’t show up. He agreed on that and after speaking a little (at that time I was online as well with a swedish bitch) he understood that he shouldn’t care that much.

But yesterday she came. The funny part was this morning. After having been online way to long, especially been in IM waaayyyyy too long I went to sleep last night at 06.00AM and he woke me up this morning at 10.00. Bloody bastard! He wanted to speak to me. Being pissed off about having to get up that early I almost sent him over here but then I remember that getting up meant coffee! Actually he told me that she arrived last night and they went to have a drink together. He sent her back home this morning, because she was really badlooking. I liked that one.

Please wait a little with comments about good or badlooking, this post was only about the funny situation :: internet dating versus real life *winks*.
I will publish a post about the handsomeness of bodies in the next days.
