Wookin Pa Nub
Posted 03-14-2007 at 07:36 AM by mycoupons
My friend, Donna, who will remain nameless is a hopeless romantic. She'll tell you she's hope'full', I say she's definitely full of something.
Johnny Lee once sang that he was 'Lookin for love in the all the wrong places.' Eddie Murphy channelling Buckwheat was 'Wookin pa nub.'
Donna is lookin for love. Or at the very least a very rich, very old man. (Think Anna Nicole.)
In her mid- twenties, Donna had a list of traits her perfect match would have. Physical and emotional attributes, education levels he reached, political affiliation, religious beliefs, and a sense of humour made up the top half of her list.
As of this posting, she has narrowed that list considerably. It now has two items on it. Registered voter and not in any sex offender database.
Why are good looking, nice mannered succesful men so hard to find?? Because they already have boyfriends!
I got lucky. I snagged my husband when he was vulnerable. I snatched him up, blinded him with kindness and talk of clean houses and white picket fences. Now he's stuck with me. The white picket fence? Needs to be painted, it's looking a bit worn. I'll have to add that to his honeydew list.
So, back to Donna. She is now in her no longer mid-twenties, and still lookin for love.
So she turned to the place to find love. The web.
Personals are SO 2004. Every genre you can think of has it's OWN matching site. Jewish? Head to JDate! Dog lover? Datemypet is for you! Love to get inked? Tatoolovers is the PLACE to be.
With all of these choices, why is it so hard to find love online?
Maybe, just maybe, because hiding behind our keyboards and monitors let us be someone we are not?
I can tell you I am 5ft10, 143 pounds, with red hair and green eyes. Do you believe me?
Why? Why not? You have been reading my blog for over a month- you kind of know me. You probably drink coffee with me some mornings. But, you have no idea if I am telling the truth.
Donna tells men she talks to that she is 29.
She is so NOT 29.
Why does she fib? Because 'men don't want old maids!'
Ok, but starting a relationship out with a lie? Not so healthy either.
I have many friends that have tried online dating. My favorite story is from Donna.
Donna met a guy a few months ago, he was from Spain. He was sexy, with an accent, and a diamond earring. They spent THREE months emailing, exchanging pictures and talking on the phone.
When their magical first meet came, they shared a romantic candlelight dinner, and then went walking through the vogue part of the shopping district. He was whispering sweet Spanish nothings in her ear- when- (swear this is true) like something out of a bad movie she heard someone yell " HECTOR!"
Startled, Donna and 'Enrique' turned around, and were standing face to face with a man and his family.
"Hector! How are you? Man, since you quit the bakery, it has been so boring..." The man started babbling.
Donna was confused, 'Enrique' looked like he was going to puke.
'Enrique started talking in Spanish to the man and his family, and then they smiled and walked away.
Enrique explained to Donna that the man was a friend of his cousin- his cousin being Hector. He had explained to the man that he was Enrique, Hector's cousin. Embarrased, the man had walked away.
Donna called me that night when she got home and told me the story. I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants.
Being the sucker she is, she wanted to believe him.
Being the realist I am, I knew she shouldn't.
Donna came over the next night, and I used a little tool called reverse phone look-up and found that 'Enrique's' phone number was registered to a one Hector BlahBlah Blah.
I called. A NON accented man answered. I said I was calling from a local hospital, and was looking for Enrique. No one there by that name? Ok, sorry for the interruption.
Donna called there three minutes later, from my cell phone. The same man answered.
'Enrique? It's Donna.'
'Allo my beauteeful dahling."
She hung up. "MENTIROSA!" She screamed as she did. It means liar in Spanish.
This time I DID pee in my pants. Literally.
Oh, Donna.
Until we meet again,
