Internet Dating Horror Stories: The Screaming Scotsman

Okay, so here is another Mr. Wonderful I dealt with on an Internet dating site. I hope you read my first story about the Midwest Mess! I call this one The Screaming Scotsman because he had the most beautiful reddish blonde hair I had ever seen on a man. He reminded me of a renaissance Scotsman. I really have no idea whether he really was Scottish or not., the relationship didn't last that long. So, let me tell you about the man I call The Screaming Scotsman!

Again, as in my first story we e-mailed back and forth for awhile before talking on the phone. The e-mails were pleasant, and he seemed to have a great sense of humor, which later on would carry over into our conversations on the phone. He wasn't divorced. I thought, like most of the men I had previously talked with, his wife had died, at least his first one did.

We finally got to talk on the phone. Wow, how sweet he was, and a wonderful sense of humor. I was really taken with this one., at least at first. He then started talking about his dead wife, a lot. He explained how hard it was to get over her. The only problem was, he had a wife after her. He said he was divorced from his last wife. I think I know why. He couldn't stop talking about his first wife who died. Poor second wife, no wonder they were divorced. Ooops, Red Flag #1. A man who can't get over his dead wife, is not ready for dating, no less marriage. It is unfair to whomever he would get involved with.

Okay, so stupid me, I didn't quite get it yet, and actually thought it was sweet that he loved his first wife so much. We continued to talk, and I REALLY started liking him more and more. He did have a great personality. He really made me laugh and feel good inside. Well, one night just before dinnertime he asked me to meet him for dinner. I said that was sweet but I wanted to get to know him a little bit better before meeting. He didn't get angry per-say, but I did sense that he was pissed off. Okay, I chalked this up to being disappointed. No real problem yet.

We continued to talk on the phone with everything going pretty well, at least until I questioned him about something. I found it strange that I only had his cell phone number, which seemed more and more harder to reach him on. I asked him If I could have his home phone number. He stumbled around with excuses and said he would make a better effort to answer his cell phone. Ooops, Red Flag #2. If a man will only give you his cell phone number, and has excuses for not giving you his home phone number, he's probably not as single as he professes.

More and more the phone calls started to become strange. He seemed to be whispering and hanging up saying I'll call you back at a certain time. Anyway, it was driving me crazy, so one night when he called in a kidding around way I said, "Gee If I didn't know any better I would think your not living alone". Are you sure your not still married?". Well, with that he started screaming at me, and saying who do you think I am, how dare you say that, and on and on. I nicely asked him if he always got that upset about things? He continued to scream even louder saying. I never want to talk to you again, don't you dare ever call me again. I responded calmly, "Don't worry I won't". Wow, what a nut case. Red Flag #3. When someone starts screaming at you for asking any question, he probably has serious anger issues.

Well, my feeling about this Mr. Wonderful is I probably hit the nail right on the head. I don't know if he was married or what, but I bet he wasn't single either! Check out my next horror story coming soon!
