I have heard from this seemingly nice man in Tallahassee. I think I will rely on my Sisters to catch any red flags. I think I would see them, but you never know.
Here is who he is and below that is the e-mail he sent me. Any advice or direction is more than welcome.
From his college days:
http://nolefan.org/hof/tschirret_mike.htmlWho he is now:
https://twitter.com/mike_tschirretWhat he wrote to me (after I had replied back to him about a ‘wink’ he had sent me before I was a member and could not e-mail him):
Hi JoAnn,
I’ve always felt good things are worth waiting for and all things happen for a reason. I think you, very well, are a good reason.
I was a member years a go and got a “We want you back” freebie offer. I took advantage of it, and here I am, again. Thank you match.
I love St George, I was in a group of people who were going to build a large home for rental purposes and occasional person use. It fell thru because one of the guy’s wife could decide whether to have a widow’s walk or not. I, by the way, wanted a widow’s walk. Funny, but true.
Had a great trip to Peru. A bit of altitude sickness up at Lake Titicacca,
but all else was pretty special. Wouldn’t go again but need to see Rome and the Greek Islands for next big trip. I’ve been all over the world but never to Rome, can you believe that. Wanna go? Pack comfy stuff, one
large bag, so we don’t have to drag too much from city to city. OK?We are so close, it will be very easy to arrange a meeting. Let’s communicate and work it out. My profile pretty much tells you about me, but my life is an open book, to learn more, just turn the page. I am extremely honest, don’t make demands on others, but honesty is a must for me, to give and to receive.
Let’s talk. My home email is miketschirret@comcast.net and phone is 850 668-7997. I hope to hear from you. You look and sound delightful
and I look forward to our meeting soon.Sincerely,
Mike
PS My last name is Tschirret (silent first T, pronounced “Surrette”), grandpa come over from France, way back.
I don’t know, JoAnn. Not a red flag exactly, but a feeling of unease I got going. Very hard to sift out if it’s just the paranoia that comes from what we’ve gone through, along with the whole match.com type of thing. Which my SA was on too. But the important thing is, what does *your* gut feel about this? xoxo
My gut says he is very open, gave me his last name and is easily traceable. He also gave me his phone number. I’ll see if he has any ‘restrictions’ on when he answers.
He is widely traveled, which is good, owns a condo on Maui and has been to many of the places I have been. That’s a definite plus. I would love to have a travel buddy.
I was on match.com twice before and met some really nice guys. My fault I chose the wrong one to keep. I hope to be much wiser this time around. ~ JoAnn
Can’t hurt to meet for coffee in a public place, right? I think it is a good sign that he gave him last name. He comes across as a little arrogant to me (asking if you want to go to Rome before you even meet? I realize it’s in jest but seems a bit odd) but that may his way of trying to sell himself. Just take it slow – look at this as a “starter” date.
A well-traveled guy is a nice thing!
He responded about Peru because when I e-mailed him I commented on one of his pictures of Machu Picchu because I had also been there. And, I always travel light–one backpack, period!
Well, we’ll talk on the phone and maybe meet in a public place and see how it goes. ~ JoAnn
True, March.
The honesty line got me, but I’m not sure if that was prompted by previous conversations. It’s personal, my SJ led with that in his conversation and profiles. To me, it’s a given, you don’t put that out there unless it’s in question, for you. But I do WANT an honest partner, so what to do?
Good for you, JoAnn. Travel partner sounds fun.
Here’s an asshole reject:
My profile starts out with ‘I could lie and say that I was ten or fifteen years younger and get away with it, I know I look a lot younger than I am. But, bending the truth is just not me. Lies are lies no matter how you try to justify them.’
My profile also states that I am an Atheist.
So this jerk writes this to me, thinking it will impress me?
You need me as I enjoy intellectual conversation e.g why do you care about lying if you’re an atheist? My degree is in chemistry. My oldest son and his wife are MDs in Jacksonville. My daughter teaches in Tally and my other son is in the wholesale mortgage business in Nashville Tn.
I’d be the best lover you ever had. Call me! Jim
DELETE!
With the start to your profile, I take back what I said about his “honesty” comments. They are a reasonable response.
I would meet him for coffee or a lite lunch. He sounded like a energetic guy that was ready to meet a woman. I’m kinda like March, we cannot do worse. So, I don’t encourage you to marry him tomorrow but I would meet him in a heartbeat. His email did have the things about traveling and such but I figured he was responding to you. Go for it…..nothing to lose.
No marriage for me ever. I state that very clearly in my profile. Even if Larry (who?) dies I can only keep my TriCare for Life health insurance if I do not remarry. Besides that, I will never put my assets at risk ever again.
If someone wants to be with me they can provide me with whatever they want without being married to me. ~ JoAnn
No tweets on twitter? Why bother having an account? Does he have a linkedin profile? Tell more that way.
You deserve the very very best JoAnn. Have some fun! Go for dinner – you can always get an emergency call you have to leave for!Here’s another photo:

Damn, I guess I will have to learn how to swim:
A pro swimmer is so much better than a pro anything team related because once they become an armchair atheletes watching HOURS of sports. I say, why the Hell not??? It is a date, not a contract. And as March said…we can only go up? I am sure there are older, single men who would love to meet quality wife material. After all, they need us a great deal more than we need them? Karen xx
