about emails

What does it mean if a guy who writes to you for the first time asks you how long you've been on the site and then asks you in his second email if you've met anyone off the site yet after you tell him that you've only been doing on-line dating for a couple of weeks? He doesn't ask you any other questions though. I answered this man's questions honestly but I wondered why he thought it was relevant to ask. Is it just to make conversation or is he perhaps signaling that he would like to meet me? And do guys who write to you first in interest but who wait almost two days to answer your email despite having visited the site in the meantime not interested in you? If I contact someone initially I don't lose interest in them unless they say something that totally turns me off which I'm careful to not do in my emails. I am so new to this and would appreciate some feedback.

I really hate to sound so pessimistic..because it typically is in my nature to be positive.

Well if there's a contest for "bizarre people who write one email and are never heard from again" -- I'm applying to win it....
got this gem a day or two ago...emailed back asking for a picture. Never heard boo.
--------EMAIL --------
Here's a tip: When my youngest (5 yrs old) notices that one of her "paintings" (usually monochromatic, up & down brush strokes covering the entire sheet of paper) is missing, I simply say, "Daddy took it to work to hang up in his office". She smiles, I take the trash out (before she looks inside the can) and call him to tell him he "has" her artwork proudly displayed where all can see. And you've got part of that wrong - they know where one shoe of each pair is........ and "I put my glove in my bag after the game.....", but the coach called and has it in the back of his car because he found it in the dugout!
I could go on and on - and probably would if not stopped. I know it is scary for you to resond to an e-mail that has no picture or profile to see, but aren't we all here on a bit of a chance. And personally, I think I am worth a chance...... at least that is what my mother would say. :o)
So, who am I? My name is xxx, I am xxx, blonde (but not a typical blonde - I know that whiteout does not work on a computer screen), brown eyes. I am divorced (only once). I live in xxx but come equipped with my original yyy accent (or so I am told). I do not smoke (have never even tried it), I enjoy a frozen, fruity girly drink on occasion. I have 3 darling, wonderful children (HA!) - 2 girls ages x & y and an z yr old son (he comes equipped with the signs of being a middle boy child with two sisters that are super athletes - more on that some other time). I coach little league baseball in the spring and U12 girls travel team soccer in the fall. I have my belly button pierced (I know you list that as a turnoff, but trust me....... no, never mind that for now either!) - I had it done recently and I love it.
What am I looking for? As cheezy as it sounds - pretty much exactly what you wrote. I am looking for a man who loves his kids - first and foremost - and understands that mine are my world...... and who wants to blend them all together and enjoy the chaotic mess it becomes!! I want someone to share it all with - the simple pleasures that others take for granted.... smiling when you hear his car come into the driveway at the end of the day.... sharing a slow dance in the kitchen as you make dinner together.... playing hookey one day in Boston, as you walk holding hands.... a man who is not afraid of that "I couldn't wait another minute to kiss you" kiss in public. The little things. I am not into what money can buy, I am into what life has to offer. I would rather be in jeans & a tshirt than a dress and nylons (have you ever worn nylons......... God, I hope not!!). I can dress up for a night out, but cherish that rainy Sunday on the couch together watching movies.
Wow, I have never written that much before....... and at 11:00 at night!! So, if I have at all grabbed your attention, say 'hi' and I will level the playing field with a picture or two. I hope you decide to take the chance.
