Rude response
| Mon, 02-28-2005 - 3:57pm |
okay, before I took my profile down yesterday I received an email from a guy. He asked if if was snowing where I am. So I responded and asked where his town was (I wasn't familar with it - I'm in MD he was in VA). He wrote back the location. I wrote back saying "to be honest I think we live too far away from each other". Well.....he wrote back "Yes we are.And maybe not a very good match either.I was just chatting.I dont expect everyone i talk too to think i want a date or be a boyfriend.Sorry for the misunderstanding.But bestof luck in your search!*hugsssssss*
I thought that was rude (or was I rude?). Yet another reason why I'm off of there.

I think his response was more along the lines of "I'm trying desparately to save face because you've rejected me".
The nerve of you thinking he might be interested in *dating* you, when he contacted you through a *dating* website ;-)!!!
Sheri
If you get a contact through a dating site -- they are looking for a date no matter what they write. People who aren't interested don't write.
I'll guarantee you that if you hadn't told him you were too far that he'd have been emailing you ad nauseum....
I don't think you were rude, or him either. I think he was a bit... prickly, let's say, but oh well. But he wasn't really rude- rude would have been calling you a name, or ignoring you from that point or something.
I must confess I have NEVER understood why people say things like that on an OLD site. "I wasn't hitting on you, I was just wanting to chat." In the immortal words of Colonel Sherman T Potter (from the TV show MASH)...
HORSEFEATHERS!
If you're on a freakin OLD site, you're writing to people because of *something* that sparked your interest or made you want to talk to them... and it's a DATING site, not a "hey let's chat about the weather in your town" site.
