Dating Service Sucker

(circa 2001)
I perused a computer dating site.
She was a raving Romanian beauty and
I picked her up in Jackson Heights Queens.
I wanted to meet at a coffee bar,
She wanted to go to a restaurant.
Nadia spoke in an accent
like “Natasha” from Bullwinkle.
She ordered an expensive meal, and
sat patiently for the spread,
with a smile.
We waited for our meal, staring at each other
and she was content to not speak.
Dating is about getting to know the other,
So I asked questions.
She said she did not like questions,
“This is like a K.G.B. interrogation.”
I said “In America dating is about
getting to know the other person.”
I was the victim of
a fraud,
a swindle,
a squeeze.
For a woman that attractive,
she needed no web-site for a man.
For her it was
“Dating Racket.com”
for free meals.
If I could do a mulligan,
I would have canceled the order,
snuck out
and left her there
to pay for a taxi home.
How did she know what a
K.G.B interrogation was like?
