ESL Dating Reply #15: The End?

I made my weirdest one yet, I think. I just told her I am going to go become a secret agent, because it appeared to me that she referred to me as , "you the agent". If she emails me again, I am going to refer to myself as Agent double o zero instead of Dan. Also, I can't help but notice she seems to keep having gender identity issues-now she is the independent man! On the bright side, I have figured out how to do this sort of thing myself if I ever wanted to, there are just three easy steps in the formula:

1-She has to gradually establish that I am alone, lacking a female companion here. By
using this information, she builds a perceived closeness with me through her emails to me.

2-She assures me that I AM A STRONG MAN, and I can do anything to help her,
because we will be together when we get her financial woes taken care of. She is playing
on the first step by telling me how much she wants us to be together.

3-She establishes that she needs my help, and that I can do it, since I am A STRONG
MAN.

Hi favorite Dan!
I am glad to read your message and to learn, that I can hope for your help in payment of agency. Dear, I feel myself slightly inconveniently. Because I had to address to you behind the help. I always considered myself as the independent man, which can decide all problems. But, this time, I could not all take into account and was mistaken that I can itself to pay all travel.
When I traveled earlier, it cost for me less. But I is happy, that now at me there is you, Dan- a man, which can come to me to the aid and help me in life. After ours acquaintances, at me varies sensations itself. Earlier I considered myself as the strong and independent man, and it was pleasant To feel, that I can care of myself. And now I feel myself simply by woman, which requires support. But it is pleasant for me, to feel beside the strong man, which protects me from all excitements of life!
Dan, I have informed a place of arrival to you the agent and it expected the stayed charges for me. It will be for me 1350 $. Here tickets, insurance, road up to the airport and some other necessary charges. I still had money, After payment of the first part of cost. It about 600 $, and now me is necessary, through 6-7 days about 750 $, to pay in Agency the second part of cost of travel. I hope dear, that this money not difficulty for you and you can help To me to pay, in 6-7 days, 750 $ in agency. I shall learn from the agent, as you can send them it.
Lovely, I hope, that I did not do to you difficulties by the haste. Probably it is the not planned expenditure for you. If it so, do not become angry with me please! I very much miss on you and I wait for our meeting. I wait for your messages Dan!

Thousand kisses.

Yours Olga.

It’s time to tell her again it is an impossible expenditure.

Hi favorite Olga! Knowing not of other Olga's, but did I even know them, yours would be favorite still! I think I know not why you are hopeful of help of mine in moneys for the travel, my health is afflicting work schedule mine, and money is less. If it is so inconvenient to feel yourself, I would be happy to offer a hand, but I am so far away.
Maybe time of next you to address to me in front of the help? Would that feel you better? I would! I have always seen to me as the independent woman, I do all things by myself, including bathing and feeding! If you had researched before to go spending on visa and ticket, you could have discovered short comings, but you overseas women always seem to jump first, and then discover safety net not there. Why was it cost you less when traveled you last time? Was distance not as long in journey for to go?
Worry not you, you are strong woman, you can find way to come here; as you said in earlier email, not even money can stop you! If manage you to arrive here, I will take care of room and board. I have spare bed which pulls out from under mine, we will just be two happy teddy bears together!
I'm confused, when did I become the agent? You informed a place of travel to me, the agent? I have always wanted to be a James Bond type, so I guess I to go make plastic badge and become secret agent, traveling the world to foil crime of terrorists! Thank you Olga for inspiration and direction! I shall never forget you, for inspiration and direction, I shall now become secret agent! Maybe we can meet up someday in our travels together, I might even end up in Russia chasing terrorist who plots terrorism! Goodbye for now and endless thanks, I to go catch terrorists!

Dan

ESL Dating Reply #6

I am starting to think that all I have to do is reply, just say anything and I will get a reply back from this one. I thought I already tested the waters when I told her that things like implants and a huge bank account are important qualities in the woman I am dating. If this reply doesn't work, I might just keep it going for awhile, all in the name of comedy. I usually don't even get a reply after I send them a bad English reply of my own, so three from the same woman is just plain weird.
Maybe next I should just send her a random collection of words? That's pretty much what she sends me, so why not? Of course, I haven't even factored in the possibility that she might be an actual person, and she's falling for me in spite of my bad English, but for now, I will just assume she's a spammer and she's going to ask me for $1000 in about a week.

Dear Dan!
A thank for this e-mail from you, your messages really pleasant me. This week is present new theme for reflections, and these new ideas excite me. I do not know as you, Dan but for me begins to have importance our exchange e-mail. It is new emotions in my quiet heart. For me it is not usual, to get acquainted with the man on e-mail, behind many miles from me and it is possible to have the relation. I did not inform to you earlier Dan the address, because it is not enough knew you. I live in average area of Russia, in city Kazan.
To it far from you, differently to us was not necessary for a regret much e-mail, to learn each other. We could meet, talk, to carry out some time together and not bad to learn each other. But for us it will be not a fast way. But I hope, that it will not be problem for us, if we shall decide to do it in the future. I already made some travels to other countries. I traveled, as the tourist, in Europe; it is Turkey, Italy, Germany.
Therefore, Dan, you should not have excitements that is present distance between us. I such woman, that if I shall love the man, for meeting with it, I shall reach even on the moon. In our days is a problem to make such travels. I not worry about it and even have devoted feelings, having got acquainted with by the man on the other hand. For me it is very interesting feelings - to learn the man with other culture, thinking, traditions. It one of things - which draws me to you. Not the main thing, - but new and interesting. Probably if our relations will be strong and you Dan, can learn the mysterious Russian woman. I hope, that for you it is interesting to learn and to test love of such woman? I think, road Dan, that you can not long resist to mine female magic, if happen so, that we shall be person to the person. On it I finish my message to you Dan. I wait for your messages.

Yours Olga.

Here’s where I start pushing the jokes a little too far.

Deer Olga!
Repeated thanking from email of yours, your message is pleasant made me as well. You were saying it is new emotions in quiet heart of yours? What emotions new is it? Often I do find me causing the laughs, but that mostly when I view myself in mirror. For me also it is unusual not to get acquainted with persons on computer, but closeness it is made obstacle by distance behind me for meeting of the woman.
Thanking from me at you for telling to me of city location of you, I knew not of your living at Kazan. Far from me it is, but love to see it someday would I. I am glad it is now enough knew me to you home city disclosure for me. I concur it is not bad to learn each other, I of you will love to do learn, you can learn me anything. I would love to do a meeting in days of the future, but financials prevention would obstacle create. I am not A lot of money earning while in school, so flying will not be optional for distant amounts of time, unless I grow my own wings.
I have not traveled by the wings since age 13, when plane was stopped by the terrorists and we went to Cuba. I will say it was nice, but we wanted to go to happy sunny Florida instead. I guess I can say I traveled as the hostage to foreign country, but I haven't voluntarily gone to foreign country since the age of 5. The last time of flight was traumatic, but therapist says continue with pills and weekly visits, it will be under good control.
I do not have great excitements of present distance creating the gap between us, I simply caution in meeting of people so distant from my location. Each occasion of mine making acquaintance with the far away woman it is deleted in both of us sorrowed for me not having money for plane ticket of her. I am at least grateful for you not having to fly to moon, for I that far away am not, and how impossible that is?
Interested I am in learning the mysterious Russian woman, I am fascinated by Russia and Russian culture. Trying to learn your language was hard, but give up does not I, for I don't quit until I win. In event that you the Russian woman did make the arrival in this place, I will admit difficulties I would have to give resistance to your female magic. For you to victory of me, you only have to get me into bed, and then we would be person to the person.
I must say I am really enjoying this, I cannot to wait that I heard from you again!

ESL Dating Reply 2: I'm Bringing Funny Back

Needless to say, that first ESL dating reply set the pattern that would follow for pretty much the rest of the series. They email me in broken English, I write back in broken English. I usually leave some sort of comment after their letter to make it obvious where their letter ends & mine begins.

Hello My name is Vera !!
My fine stranger. I very much love a nature, rest on it, I think, that the person should live with a nature in friendship, should love her. It develops humanism in us, feeling of support from something big, strong, kind. It does not give loneliness to swallow up us, fills a body with the new forces, new energy.
On character I the person quiet, tender, likes to give care, caress, understanding, especially when it comes back. I the one-woman man if I fall in love with persons! This love burns me without the rest. I live this feeling, I breathe him, it is Necessary for me as oxygen. I constantly try to be near to a subject of my sincere feelings, it is a pity, that not always to me answer same. I like to sit with the close person and to have a talk with it, to open to it soul that to me have listened, have understood, have helped. I too try to help the person in a difficult minute to understand it.
If you wish to see my photos write only on mine e-mail, only so I can contact you and answer all questions interesting you. Thanks

Vera

And so I replied…

Vera-
Memory of mine is deficient, for knowledge of my return of e-mail of yours is insufficient, so returning to you I am doing as of now. Hello, you are the fine stranger also, but I am the strangest, no? I too very much love a nature, comfort it my way gives, friendship in life I have with nature as well, and love it do I. The friendship with nature I am having is making of me more humanistic, and I too, much love the feelings of comfort from a strength so exuberant. It engulfs me with its energy, yet does not consume the very essence of my life to feel this incredible force, this exuberant energy.
On the character of mine, I am the one woman man, wander astray I do not, for giving and loving to one person is all I have energy for, for mine heart can be filled by the one, not the many, and heart of mine is joy filled for a time span of endlessness. Infrequently in my time span of the existence of my life force, these emotions are returned to me and leaving of my heart surrounded by feelings of sorrow, but I am comforted by the knowledge that, somewhere out there, there is a duck.
When I am feeling this closeness with the woman of my attachment through the emotions of mine, I am the understanding one who is showing abilities to be the listener, the caretaker of soul. The godfather of soul might even say you. I am help. I difficult times in time span of life of mine, so relate to troubles do I. I am wearing a turtleneck sweater, what you?

The ESL Dating Diaries: The Original

I love receiving replies on dating sites from people who live in another country and can barely even speak English. When English is their second language, the sender usually ends up creating some of the most interesting combinations of words. Check out this probably bogus one I got today from a woman with the screen name lovestar222. the message didn't even come up in my inbox in the site so I know it's a spoof. This is why I was mean enough to use English as a second language when I sent her a reply. Here is her actual e-mail and my reply that follows:


Hello my dearest new friend,
it give me a great pleasure to contact you after viewing your profile which interest me in having communication with you so that we can get to know each other and see what happened. If you will have the desire with me, I will be very happy if you can write me through my email for easiest communication. Here is my email : I will be waiting to hear from you through my email so I can tell you more about my self and send you my look to know who is communicating with you. Take care of your self and I wish you happy day.
Yours new friend.

I LOVE YOU

Cynthia

So, to make a long story short, here is the reply I sent to her:

Many greetings to my newest dear friend,
It is with great sorrow and many hurting of my heart that I am to telling of you profile of yours is not findings on site. would like to have to having the desires with you, but you are not appearing to be seen on site of this. I am guessing this e-mail is only way of making the contact with you, so cannot I making the visual viewings of picture of yours. So, telling to me of self of you, you are international student, no? I must be goings to the places of my travels, so until the next communication we make, I must say happy departures for the now. Much talking in future conversing,

Dan.

Quick update on The ESL Dating Diaries

O.K., so I know I haven't been here since December, but i'm going to be spending alot more time here now! As for what i've been up to since December-I finally got my book published! It took three tries to get it right, but it's finished & available on Amazon! here's the link for anyone who's curious: http://www.amazon.com/ESL-Dating-Diaries-Collection-English/dp/1449971326/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264777813&sr=1-2
So, back to the fun part where it took three tries to get it right. In the first printing, none of the titles were lined up at the top of the page. There weren't any page numbers, and there wasn't a table of contents. On top of all that, I had the entire book double spaced. It looked like a well put together final term paper.
In the second printing, I mislabeled the table of contents as the index. I don't know what I was on when I made that blunder, but I found it so amusing that I could make such an absurd blunder, I made fun of my own mistake and made it worse in the third printing! This is why, even if you do get the corrected version, the table of contents will be labeled Table of Continents.
So now, back to poking fun at scammers!
