Who Are You, Again?

Email Sent in by Richard:

(Richard says: "I took Marcy out on a date: dinner and a walk. I never heard from her after that. This email arrived over eight months later.")

Dear Richard:

I feel that I can now discuss what I have wanted to say for so long. I have been trying to think of a way to put this into words, but the way has eluded me. Do you know what I mean?

I hate to be the bearer of bad, unfortunate news, but I sincerely believe that we are not right for each other. I have turned the situation over and over in my head and this is not a decision that I make lightly. You were sweet and polite, but something was missing, and I'm so very sorry that it has come down to this.

As a consolation, I am sure that you will find happiness elsewhere. The world is a big place and there is so much love, I am sure you will find your share. It will be a beautiful thing for you and yours. Please do not attempt to change my mind. My decision, I'm afraid, is final. I am available for emotional counseling if you are in need.

Fondly,
Marcy

  2. This is the hallmark of a person that takes themselves way too seriously.

  3. ^Either that or Marcy had a date with another Richard a couple of days earlier and sent this message to the wrong one.

  4. . . . or an absolutely straight-faced troll.

    That said, this site has shown me that there are actually people in the world who are this crazy.

  6. "I am available for emotional counseling if you are in need."

    Sounds legit.

  7. I'd say she had a relationship in the 8-month gap, which probably ended with her getting dumped, and she's looking for a little ego boost.

  8. I'd say she uses a form letter any time she wants to dump a guy. I don't know why he received it so later, but it sounds generic - like a bad horoscope.
