So my friend Suzan and I have decided that Fridays are going to be about our online dating communications. Be prepared for a little snark, a lot of sarcasm and no exposing of identities.
I totally give this guy props for telling me stuff about him. I think that’s interesting, but I didn’t reply for two reasons. One, what do you say to that? You talk to him about him, and well, I probably wasn’t feeling that chatty when he initially messaged me because my profile was completely blank with a note saying I was on hiatus. Two, his profile didn’t interest me any more than his message. I didn’t see us having a lot in common, so I passed.
Now, is it just me, or do you assume that if someone does not respond, they’re not interested? Or that they’re afraid to answer you? I generally assume they aren’t interested and move on with my life. I left the dates on the message so I could highlight what this guy did.
Since I obviously didn’t respond to his first message, he replies to it and includes his phone number. Because if I wasn’t up for talking to him on a website where my personal information stays private, texting him is a much better option.
Yeah, I passed both times, and have no intention of replying. I feel like he would be one of those creepy nice boring guys that you can never get rid of. Better to not engage.
If your profile is blank, then obviously he doesn’t follow instructions well. What’s the point of messaging someone who isn’t looking?
