Women Get Thousands After They Don't Get Dates
AP ^ | 11/8/05 | Staff

Posted on 11/08/2005 9:08:28 AM PST by Millee

A Manhattan judge is siding with two women who didn't get dates.

The judge says the Internet dating service Great Expectations has to refund all their fees after dashing their expectations.

One woman was refunded the $1,000 she paid for a six-month membership. The other gets the nearly $3,800 she paid for a 54-month deal.

The judge said, "There was a massive overcharge by the dating service."

Great Expectations had claimed its operation was set up in a way so that the state's Dating Services Law did not apply to it. It plans to appeal the ruling.

"Ok, why can't the lady simply pick up the phone and say, "I'm not interested" and hang up? That's what I do. It's called MANNERS ladies! ;-)"


Stalker types that deal poorly with rejection that have Caller ID. Ain't worth it to me. I say let 'em wonder.

I understand. I think that its just polite to say, "no" and hang up. Worst comes to worse you can get a glock to protect you from "stalkers."

Every breath you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you... ;-)

Oh, and BTW, who the heck would fork over that kind of money for a lousy dating service? Take that same money and go on a singles cruise or something.

I can't imagine being that desperate for a man.
