Dating Nightmare #2 - What's YOUR online dating profile name?

At the start of the summer, I received an email from David via an online dating site, and I checked out his profile.  According to his profile, he is a well educated, 47 year old, hotel manager, looking to expand his circle of friends.

Innocent enough, right?  So we changed several online messages, and decided to meet to grab a beer at a bar in Nashua.  Not somewhere I would have ever gone, but hey, I'm all about expanding my horizons and trying new things!

I arrive, and find him at the bar having a beer.  I introduce myself, sit down, order a beer, and make chit chat.

At one point, he leans in to me and the dialogue takes a slightly twisted turn:

"How do you like my pants?" he whispers into my ear - "I wore them just for you."

"Excuse me?" I asked - "What do you mean by that?"

"You know.  Most guys like to see me in my tight pants." He explained.

"What? I'm sorry, but I'm not following you..."

"I'm sorry", he tells me.  "Which website did we meet on?"

"Um, Match.com, why?"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I thought we met on Manhunt!" He explains.

"No.  We met on Match.com.  Does that make a difference?" I ask

"Well, I have a different profile name on Manhunt" He tells me.

Before I could check myself, my curiosity gets the better of me, and I ask him, "What's your profile name on Manhunt?"

With a wide smile, he tells me that it's "Megadick11."

I stared at him in the eye for a second, while he grinned back.  Then I turned to the bartender and asked for my check.

"Excellent!" he says - "I live around the corner!"

I turn to him, and explain "I'm sorry, I have to get home to my dogs."

At which point he gets all flustered.  "I thought we would head home and play a while!"

"No.  No.  I'm sorry, but no.  It really is kinda late, and I have to get home to my dogs."

I paid my tab and left.  As soon as I got into the car, I immediately blocked him and then deleted him from my phone.

So take heed, dear reader.  I recommend you take great care, and think about what your dating profile name may convey to others.

What's mine?  I use either QbanTechGuy or Cubano66, on the dating sites I have profiles.

[In order to protect the "innocent", all dates I write about are called "David" or "Dave".  Any resemblances to actual Davids or Daves, Jims, James, Tom, Mike, or Gregg's, living or dead is purely coincidental.  Oh, and all nightmare dates are delayed by at least 90 days, "just because".]
