She&#8217;d seen me on Canadian TV a couple of times and read about me online and wanted to know more. I email her back. She wanted to talk on the phone. We did.<\/p>\n<p>She wants to talk on Yahoo Messenger every night. She had a cam set up.<\/p>\n<p>We had nothing in common. And I didn&#8217;t like to chat on the internet unless it was with someone I love or on a subject about which I&#8217;m passionate. But because she was cute, I&#8217;d chat with her a bit. I&#8217;d ask her to shake her long curly hair and maybe I asked her to do a few other things I don&#8217;t remember. She cut the chats off abruptly and said she was going back to her ex-boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t think twice. She was annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Months went by. She&#8217;d email me intermittently. I&#8217;d reply politely.<\/p>\n<p>Last night she arrived in L.A. We spoke on the phone and I drove down to Marina Del Rey to meet her tonight. And after a few minutes, she starts laying into me. That I told her I was too pathetic to find a wife. That I had asked her to do pervy things on Yahoo Messenger and that&#8217;s why she had to cut me off. And I&#8217;m asking myself, why did I drive down here to sit in a non-kosher restaurant to be insulted by someone I don&#8217;t want to sleep with?<\/p>\n<p>If I were a man, I would&#8217;ve walked off, but I stuck it out for an hour and we parted with a hug.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon that I&#8217;ll go meet a woman and she&#8217;ll roll over me like a bulldozer. She&#8217;ll yakk on her cell phone. She&#8217;ll do chores. She&#8217;ll write letters. She&#8217;ll tell me what&#8217;s wrong with me.<\/p>\n<p>And all this while she&#8217;s covered in sweat and grease after a 40-minute bike ride.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of years ago, a Jewish woman in Montreal emailed me.
