My potential Prince William


Recently, I met Korean gentlemen with an UK accent - @ an Online dating site. An Asian man with an UK accent! That’s one in a thousand!

When we met for the first time, I thought to myself... we have lots in common and he has the perfect resume (Perfect age, MBA, Never married, No Kids, Owns his own place, Family oriented, Wanted to get hitch soon, etc...).

Furthermore he was so excited to meet with me...he even hinted that I should stop dating other people.

Let’s call him...William (as in my potential Prince William)

On our first date, we spent a couple hours walking the seawall. I felt a very good communication vibe from him. He’s not bad looking.
Plus...He even sings and plays the guitar!

After our walk, it was getting late. He had an interesting suggestion…he wanted to quickly drive home, call me on the phone and sing to me before ending the night.

I thought that this was weird, but sweet. So yes, at 11:30pm he called to “serenade me” to sleep.

The next day, William asked me on a second date ~ a bike ride around Stanley Park on a late afternoon.

Throughout our ride, he was excited to tell me about the various good deals that he stumbled upon online.

• A mountain bike worth $500 – He purchased for only $150
• $200 Rollerblades – He bargained down to $120
• Plus other the endless savings

After our bike ride, he asked me what my plans were for the evening and I told him I was going to grab a bite to eat. He then asked me if I was going to cook. I responded “No”.

Then, I thought to myself that if I was going to cook, then I would be a very good “online” deal. (lol..).

I then told him that he is welcome to join me for a bite if he liked. He hesitated a bit, but agreed to go along. So, off we went to a Sushi Restaurant nearby.

At the restaurant, William did three odd things.

• First - Although I specifically told him what I planned to order (seafood salad and a half futomaki roll), he wanted me to point out the items on the menu. (Price checking?)

• Second – He brought up a touchy topic especially for a 2nd date - finance & the future

Here, he declared proudly that he has money saved up for his wife (a wedding budget?), money saved up for the kids, money saved up for lots of rainy days…

William also added that he has purchased a home for his potential wife. However, there will definitely be a “No exit” clause attached to the marriage or else.. Oh, was he referring to “Prenup agreement”?

• Third – I noticed that William started texting on his blackberry from under the table

When I looked at him with curiosity, he assured me that he’s was not texting some other girl and he wanted me to guess what he was doing. I declined to guess.

And then I thought to myself, well, I know exactly what he was doing he’s either calculating the tips or balancing his checkbook!!

After we finished and left the restaurant, William started singing to me again…in public…

So, my question to you is “Did William get a 3rd date”? – Correct, the answer is “No”.

The lesson learned here is ...Guys, don’t move too fast or reveal your cards to soon or you will scare the ladies off.
