Oh, you crazy Internet dating site dudes.

  1. Your sending me an initial e-mail does not obligate me to respond if I am disinterested. If I had to write a rejection letter for every skeezoid who e-mailed me, I’d have to quit my day job and answer emails from the public library. I don’t think being homeless would improve my dating prospects.
  2. If I am in the middle of a e-mail thread with you, but do not respond for a few days, do not freak out about my abandoning you. I am a busy girl, I have a job and am trying to buy a condo and rent my current place while raising two puppies to be outstanding citizens. Sometimes conversations with random strangers have to go on the back burner.
  3. Do not try to get into my pants on the first date. It’s insulting that you think I am that easy.
  4. Attempting to kiss me good night on a first date is fine, I guess. Proclaiming “let’s make out like teenagers” and attempting a drunken makeout-fest in front of a bartender is immature.
  5. I like mature guys. “Mature” in this case does not mean “needs sea-bond.”

Thanks.

AWESOME!!!! I love it. YOur points are great, points 1 and 2 are similar to what I talk about in my text messaging article: http://guideondating.socialmindset.com/email-phone-text/text-message-warfare-3-principles-to-master-text-messaging/.

I think alot of guys are not confident enough to approach women offline and think by coming online they will be able to ‘comfortably’ approach women anonymously online. The problem is that their neediness and lack of confidence is evident in their actions as in your points above. I wrtoe an article on confidence for guys, check it out here: http://guideondating.socialmindset.com/confidence-self-esteem/how-to-confidence-build-be-confident-why-being-good-looking-is-overrated/

My site is dedicated to teaching people social and dating skills so that more people are comfortable and confident in the dating process. Check it out http://www.guideondating.com

Yes, I also agree, and like that guy above me, I also would like to shit referral links all over your site! Oh the irony that he doesn’t get the point of being too aggressive. Folks, just because it’s a comment doesn’t mean you can’t be gentle.

For example, this game will teach patience and understanding: http://www.rrrrthats5rs.com/games/dont-shoot-the-puppy/

See? you just have to be friendly and respectful, get the attention span nice and wet, and THEN slip the link in.
On a slightly related note, the captcha for this comment was “mouth consolidation”.

The only Internet site that tries to make you leave,
-RRRR

i’m going to just go ahead and offer a different opinion.

if i were on a date from the internet, after paying the exact price for my meal alone i’d follow that with a quick “so let’s make out like high school sweethearts after prom” from there i’d not try to kiss the girl but rather move right to the awkward breast grabbing with virtually no eye contact. after this has gone on to my satisfaction for 30-40 seconds i’d likely say something about buying the lovely lady a drink then reach to grab my wallet…as i withdrew my wallet i’d prod into the recesses of my prefabricated worn-out-ripped jean pockets to extract upwards of twenty condoms and let them spill to the floor. i’d likely mention my advanced expertise at “bisquicking your sauced-up hushpuppie basket” which if your someone who knows anything about odd euphemisms knows that that means the rusty trombone. from there i’d likely make a bunch of “i’m getting you a roofie-collada drink!” or other 1-liner jokes that involve date rape.

i’d then bum 20$ for a cab back to brooklyn and call incessantly for the next 3 days. if you were to not reciprocate my aforementioned charms i’d likely sit outside your house with a boombox blaring akon’s ‘don’t matter’.

I can understand not responding to the skeezy ones, but I’m personally a believer in responding to all of the messages where the person took a bit of time to read your profile and ask questions using hooks from there. I’m definitely with you on the not feeling like I have to respond to the “Hay I like yur profile. U look sexxy. IM me at LastOfTheRedHotLoversNoReally41102 on AIM, k?” messages. And I imagine that you get even more of those as a girl. Us guys can be so crude…

Incidentally, there’s no read to actually respond to my message. :) I sent it entirely for my own amusement.
