oh, by the way....

Online dating is kind of a numbers game.  So you are normally talking to more than one person at a time, via email, or text, or phone calls.  You don't meet with all of them.  Most are weeded out based on things they say, don't say, or various other reasons. 
Such as, "oh, by the way, I just wanted to let you know, during the mid 90's, I spent about 6 years in prison..."
The conversation was like this:
Him- I think you should know that I spent most of the early 90's in prison.
Me- for what?
Him- a drive by shooting...
Me- were you the driver or the shooter?
Him- the shooter. But it was only because I was high on PCP at the time.  I shot at a house thru a picture window, and it went into the couch.  The problem was there was a woman sleeping on the couch and she was shot in the ankle. 
Me- ok.....
Him- so I was sentenced to 12 years, but served 5 years and 9 months.  But it was a really long time ago, so I really hope it doesn't bother you too much. 
Me- well, um, yeah, I am gonna have to think on that. 

There are some VERY interesting people in this world folks.  VERY interesting indeed.
