Hi, My first thought is that once you actually get together, you'll never have to look at his profile again. In person, you can find out if he's really unable to communicate intelligently, or if it's just something that showed up in his profile. You may never have to read anything he writes again. Why not email back, and if you still aren't sure, fast forward to a phone call or first meeting? E
I think that if there's enough good stuff about him in his profile, I'd give it a shot. Bad grammar and spelling are peeves of mine too, but over the years I've met and known some really great guys who can't spell for crap. I'm also not one of those who IM's or TM's but I know so many people who are and those short-cuts seem to just be part of our communication culture now. I wouldn't let it be a deal breaker at this point...JMHO
Write him back and ask him what he thinks about country music and line dancing...then decide;P
Hey Stacey, I'd give it a chance then. This may turn out to be someone who connects with you on some very important interest levels. I'd shoot him an email and ask a few more questions and see what happens. You've got nothing to lose at this point. Chele
It’s your call – I understand how that can be a turn off but some of the most brilliant people (doctors, lawyer, rocket scientists) cannot spell to save their lives.
My GF sent me a guy on match she thought I might like (she lives in Chicago) did some searches for me one night when she was bored. On paper I was like “wow” he and I do sound like a good match. So we exchanged a few emails this guy and I – he called and left a vm. I did NOT like his phone voice, normally I like really articulate well spoken men (just my thing) he was more laid back and not as high energy in speech (almost hickish but not quite, hard to explain) I almost didn’t call him back until my GF said CALL HIM BACK, you never know. I did and I’m so glad I got past it as he’s a really cool guy and at first I thought he was stiff but we started laughing and just clicking. In short we have a date next Wednesday – no guarantee we’ll have chemistry but the moral is --- why not? Doesn’t hurt right? There is always that chance and well – we’ve been single thus far....what have you got to lose.
I haven't been here in awhile and just have to say you look great in your pics! Have you lost weight? You look thinner. Also I guess you and your guy broke up, but I hope it's a good thing for you.
I think that since this guy might be interested in the country dancing that you like so much, that you should give him a chance. What do you have to lose?! Good luck!
I don't like those u's and ur's so I wouldn't respond. But if you don't mind Mr. Text Message then go for it.
Be prepared to get many texts if he ever learns your cell number.
