OK, under pressure of feeling guilty b/c of what JAHD said (yes, John, it was all you) I sent an email saying: "Hi - I got your message from last night. 11:30 is a little late for me. I am usually up then but trying to wind down and don't really take calls after 10. Maybe try to call a little earlier next time? :-) Also I am coming down with some crud and my phone was in the other room and I didn't even hear it" And then I proceeded to answer his questions from his previous email.

His reply was: "Sounds good... in my message, I said give me a callback when you get a
chance...apparently you didn't listen to the message :)"

No apology, no nothing. The tone in my email was not rude but probably wasn't overly friendly either - more matter of fact. Since I have not been enthusiastic about this guy since the sappy stuff (his last email heading was Knowing you... and yes, with the elipses), French words and the metrosexual thing started, I plan on letting it drop here. After calling me at 11:30, he offers no apology, doesn't mention a "hey hope you feel better" and then snots at me for "not listening to the message" (which actually I did - 3 times). I don't need a drama queen in my life. I am enough of one myself. :-)

Beats me! I blocked him after I sent it. I actually was a little concerned because 5 minutes after I sent it, I had a text message from him asking me to call him. But Matchmaker has a neat feature that shows whether or not someone has read your email and he hadn't read it until the evening so the call was not in reaction to the email. Turned out to just be a coincidence and he hasn't called since. He probably called me a couple choice names (in French no doubt) but who cares. It is just a relief that he is not bugging me anymore! So onward and upward!

>>I had a text message from him asking me to call him.

DUH, if he could text you, why couldn't he call you? What a maroon.

He texted because he was scared of calling at the wrong time!

It was 1:00 in the afternoon. I think he texted to avoid confrontation or talking to me. He called another time and didn't leave a message. If you meant to be funny, fine. But I don't find it amusing. You're making ME sound like the villain here. I feel justified in sending the first email which was perfectly polite telling him that 11:30 at night wasn't cool my book. I continued the conversation we had started before. He didn't apologize and blasted me for "not listening to his message". In another message, you had said maybe he knew I was up late. NO, he and I had exchanged 2 or 3 brief emails with his full of sappy quotes and French telling me how beautiful I am and asking if I wanted to schedule a "rendezvous for cafe au lait (why can't he be a normal human and ask if I'd like to meet for coffee?). He had no idea that I am a night owl. I think HIS behavior is inexcusable, not mine and I don't appreciate being criticized for it.

I don't intend to continue to answer this thread. It has gone on way too long for a dork that wasn't worth it.
