One Date ... 159,000 Followup Texts and a Bath

That’s Jacqueline Ades of Phoenix Arizona. Jacqueline met a man online and they went on a date, and that was that. But Jacqueline was so enamored of her one-date-only man that, in an effort to get to a second date, she sent him  … wait for it, it’s epic … 159,000 texts—though police claim it was many more—over a period of ten months.

That’s roughly 530 texts per day … 22 texts an hour … one every three minutes.

But, as happens, Jacqueline’s texts started out nice, but somewhere, probably around text number four, she began to threaten him with great bodily harm. And now, Jacqueline Ades is awaiting trial on charges of stalking and criminal trespassing because of texts like this one:
“I’d wear ur fascia n the top of ur skull n ur hands n feet.”
For those who don’t know—and I thought “fascia” was the boards along the eaves of a home, which they are—fascia also means “the connective tissue that encloses muscles and organs.” 

Yes. And Jacqueline also texted things like:
“I’d make sushi outta ur kidneys n chopsticks outta ur hand bones.” 
“Oh what would I do w ur blood! … Id wanna bathe in it.” 
But it was just texts after that lone date; nope, she also took to parking her car outside of his home, and when he complained about that to the police, they arrested Jacqueline Ades on April 8th, finding her inside the man’s home, taking a bath.

Ades was later released, but failed to appear in court on multiple occasions, and then Scottsdale police were called to the man’s job and physically removed her from the building while she shrieked that she was his wife. And,after that incident, Paradise Valley police arrested her on May 8th in Phoenix.

Jacqueline told police she didn’t want to hurt the man and only sent the threatening texts because she didn’t want him to leave. Ades is currently being held without bail and will go on trial next month.

Seriously.

Either this woman is completely nuts, or that guy gives one helluva first date.

I cannot wait for the Lifetime movie, cuz you just know it’s happening … My Dinner with Miss Hannibal Lechter.

Blind Dates

Blind dates. Ugh. I went on a blind date once and.It.Was.A.Nightmare.

My date was a woman. Oy! Of course, I was in high school at the time, and not at all out, so naturally I would get set up with a woman. And we went to a drive-in movie. Oy!  

Again. Me. A homo. On a blind date. With a woman. At a drive-in.

Awkward.

Sarah and George
But my sad little one-time shot at blind dating doesn't even compare with Sarah Kemp and George Bentley's blind date. Their date would definitely fall into the worst category, and, well, yes, the best category.

Sarah Kemp and George Bentley met through an Internet dating service. She was a cleaner living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and he was a London-based builder. After their initial "meet" on ForgetDinner.co.uk last fall, they began writing back and forth, finally deciding to "bite the bullet" and meet in person.

Sarah Kemp says she would never have agreed to a blind date, but she and George "hit it off from the beginning, and our relationship blossomed as we emailed each other more and more often."

Sounds lovely, but wait.

As they met over drinks in a pub, and began to talk they both soon realized that this blind date was not going to lead to any kind of romance. They weren't suited as lovers because they are, and here you have it, brother and sister.

I know!

After about an hour of that awful first date chat, at Bentley's favorite pub, the White Horse, Bentley's favorite the two realized they were actually siblings.

Sarah Kemp: "To meet your long-lost brother, in a bar, after over 30 years would be something by itself, [b]ut to meet him in those circumstances -- on a date, for crying out loud -- really is something else. We obviously had far more in common than first thought."

Sarah Kemp and George Bentley grew up together until their parents, Felicity and David Bentley, divorced in 1975. Kemp moved with her mother to Edinburgh, while Bentley stayed with his father. Sarah Bentley married in 1989, only to divorce a year later, but kept the name Kemp, making George's search for his sister all the more difficult.

George Bentley: "I had absolutely no idea where she was. I was also searching for Sarah Bentleys, rather than Sarah Kemps, as I obviously didn't know she married. After a while, I think both Sarah and I gave up looking."

Until a blind dating Internet site hooked them up.

Awkward!

But, in the end, quite, satisfying.
