Well, it happened. The exchange below has all of the makings of someone trying to catfish me! Inconsistent stories, incorrect grammar, needy, a sob story and declaring a desire for love far too soon. What initially caught my attention were the photos he used. They seemed to be stock photos so, since I am bored during a pandemic, I decided to bite! I am messing with him because there is no way he is legit!
Read below and let me know what you think!

Sue: I agree. I can meet you tomorrow at Yummy Bowl?
Wizzy: I signed into dating recently in search of someone honest, caring, understanding and above all have a good sense of humor. It took me quite awhile to decide to join this site even longer for me to write my profile. I am typically shy when I first meet someone, but your profile has already put me at ease. I am busy tomorrow.
Sue: When are you free?
Wizzy: I always try to look for the good in people and that often leads to my being taken advantage of, but I am the eternal optimist and will continue to help and support the people around me. I want someone not to have a fling or temporary relationship with, but a forever lasting relationship. I will tell you I have to go now can we chat later hope you don’t mind?
Sue: My love, whatever you like!
Wizzy: Good morning sue, how was your night?
Sue: Great, yours? Wizzy: Beautiful. I have not been in a relationship for long now because I don’t just want to rush into any relationship which will not last long and previous ladies I have dated here in the past (Chicago) have always asked for too much and materialistic because they knew am financially OK, I want a relationship that can lead to something great.
Sue: I don’t need a guy for financial reasons. What company do you work for?
Wizzy: I’m a self employed. What is your profession?
Sue: A self employed gemologist? What does that mean? I am in sales.
Wizzy: I’m boss of my own. Sales, can you explain more about your job?
Sue: Hotel sales. Can you explain more about your job?
Wizzy: I’m into import and export of diamonds.
Sue: Interesting. Where do you get the diamonds from?
Wizzy: I buy from Russia Democratic Republic of Congo Botswana and Australia.
Sue: You visit there to buy?
Wizzy: Sure I do. Age, distance and location should be no barriers to her cause I don’t mind relocating for the right woman, am not asking her to leave her family and relocate but I will do so cause I always do listen to my heart, I look forward to meeting someone and becoming friends first and then hopefully it will turn into a life long relationship.
Sue: Relocating? Where do you live?
Wizzy: I mean move to the right woman. I don’t mind selling my house, you already know where I live Sue.
Sue: That is why I was confused.
Wizzy: I want someone who will accept me for myself and understand that I am not perfect. I want someone that I can laugh with, enjoy life’s adventures and spend qualify alone time with. I am as happy out with a large group or simply enjoying a quiet evening snuggling on the couch watching a good movie.
Sue: What is your favorite movie?
Wizzy: Titanic and you?
Sue: About Last Night.
Wizzy: Cool, what’s your favorite song?
Sue: My Way, Frank Sinatra, you?
Wizzy: R. Kelly, I believe I can fly.
Wizzy: Am going to move for the right woman and I meant it. I have had series of jobs in the past that have taking most of my time and now decided it shouldn’t be all about work at this stage of my life but to also get a companion who we can sit together close to the fire when it’s cold, hold hands, laugh with each other, go to the beach together, go to the movies together, go to the movies together and my daughter supports it. We shouldn’t forget we are not getting any younger.
Sue: Since we aren’t getting any younger, let’s meet up!
Wizzy: I am a man who will never cheat on my partner because I believe that God made one man for one woman and so I should be like that, all I want is a honest and heartfelt woman who wants to leave the beautiful life ahead of us with me. Age, weight, size does not matter to me, so my arms are wide open. Please do not mind the distance between us because, distance is just a flight ticket away. Remember, no matter where we are in this world, we laugh and dream under the same moon. We are going to meet but I want us to slow it down.
Sue: How are we a flight away when we live 25 miles apart? Meeting in person is the only way to see if you are the love of my life.
Wizzy: I understand, send me your number.
Sue: Send me yours so I can program you in.
(he sends me a number, I reverse search it and it is a land line).
Sue: Did you get my text? (knowing it won’t go through)
Wizzy: No, I have a problem with my SIM card. I have to fix it. Can you text me on whatsapp?
I didn't continue, part of me wants to talk on the phone and the other part says let it go!
Lesson Learned? I need a hobby!
