As I previously said I had promised myself I would be open minded during this online dating experiment/adventure and not instantly discount too many people, but dear god it was hard.

It became clear quickly that I had to be picky but I made plenty of mistakes along the way.

The first of which was the psycho stalker.

At first glance he looked like an attractive man. Quite a bit younger than me and possibly just a little too polished.

You know the type whose beauty regime is sooo much better than yours.

Not a single hair out of place and facial hair manicured to perfection.

A photo of a bicep which, if I was being completely honest could have done with quite a few more trips to the gym before he flexed it for the ladies.

My instinct told me he had tickets on himself, but I reminded myself ‘be open minded’. So, I responded to his first message to me.

What followed scared me to death.

He started off with a couple of very brief pleasantries before getting to dirty talk, which I wasn’t interested in.

Firstly, because my gut was telling me he really wasn't my type.

Secondly there was no style, just dirt.

Lastly, it was during the working day, and I was busy.

However, this was still in that first 48 hour of madness period when my phone was pinging like a pinball machine. So, I would occasionally look to see who had contacted me and then at lunch I chatted to a couple of guys.

Now one of the negatives of this site is that other people can see when you are online, so this nut case was watching me and could see I was online and not responding to his very blatant suggestions.

So it turned nasty VERY quickly.

Saying I was busy flirting with other men but not him, clearly, I’m not interested in all the greatness he had to offer. Etc etc.

He made it clear he was just looking for a dirty hookup so in the hopes of stopping his flood of messages I wished him ‘good hunting’

He did not take the hint.

It continued.

I ignored,

He got a bit nastier.

I deleted the thread.

Then I had this uneasy feeling for the rest of the afternoon.

I thought that would be the end of it, but I was wrong, he was back the very next day with offers of a threesome with some other poor unsuspecting women he had managed to ensnare on the app.

It was time for me to learn something new.

How to block someone!!
