Question about Emails/Phone Calls
| Thu, 11-17-2005 - 12:38pm |
OK, here is my first official question for everybody. I have a totally hot guy from match that emailed me. We have alot of interests in common, but I just keep picturing him with this big chested blonde. I am a very down to earth/girl next door brunette. Not to mention a single mom.
Anyway, he emailed me short email and I responded with a short one myself. I told him I had a few questions first, such as how long he had been divorced. He responded with "I would love to talk to you on the phone, I don't do the pen pal thing. Give me a call."
I think it is kinda pushy. Opinions please.
Thanks,
Stephanie

I think it sounds kind of pushy also. He should have at least answered the questions that you asked in him in your email. I'd hardly consider that as being "penpal-ish." Personally, I prefer to exchange a few emails with someone before moving on to the phone. And call me old-fashioned, but I prefer for a guy to call me first, not the other way around.

That wouldn't bother me.
I'd much rather have someone move directly to phone than do the endless email thing, so I would be fine with this. However I also prefer that the guy call me, so I would email him back and say something like, "I'd be happy to talk on the phone. My number is ----, and tonight between 8-9 PM would be a good time to catch me."

Another thought is that very often people don't come across in an email the way they wanted to come across.
It has been in my experinece that most of the men online want to get into your pants.

I have found that I have to be careful about quick judgements because in our forties, everyone has a different level of ability on the computer. It may have taken a half hour for him to type you that little note. I would probably get on the phone(you call him..don't give your number) and see if he's really evasive or just doesn't want to type all night. Just a thought..
