ok so over the weekend i got an email from a guy who seemed nice, i liked his pic and profile, but did not respond right away. Next day i saw he had written to me again and it just said, LOL too funny. I wrote back asking what was so funny and then said, hi how are you? He wrote oh i was looking back at what i had written to you. So i think we emailed a few times, he is 37 and i noticed his profile said he'd prefer a woman in her late 20's. I asked him why, he went on say that he had always dated women his own age or older and wanted to try younger. At this point i was thinking...erm ok. So i read his profile again and he had UPDATED it so it said all this stuff about how he had made some women angry by stating he wants younger women, unless you're older and in good shape, yada yada. I am 28, he also talked quite a bit about wanting to settle down and have a family. I didnt write back that day, next day i see that he has written me again saying, i must be busy or has he said something to offend or bother me? Aside from the wanting younger women thing, he still seemed ok...he asked for my #...stupidly i gave it to him. His profile says he lives in cambridge...then i get this other email saying, oh i actually live in Maine, but my office is in cambridge...he calls me last nigth. I didnt call back...he called THREE times tonight and then sent a text saying, are you really this shy, i dont bite, call me back. One of his messages said he would be in town tomorrow and would i like to meet for a drink
what is wrong with people> Yeah I shouldnt have given him my number i guess...but he seemed ok at first...good grief...i just hope he doesnt call back again...i'm not sure what to say...i usually just ignore in these situations.

exactly, seeing how this guy HAS already emailed me a couple of times when he didnt get a quick enough response and then called multiple times kinda tells me about the type of person he could be...obsessive! why on earth would i want to be going back and forth with him? Somehow i doubt he would just say, oh ok, if i said sorry we're not a match. He'd get defensive...he already has been.
I find the offense that dancingeel is taking to this situation to be strange. LIke i said before he/she's issue seems to be with me and I think she enjoys arguing with me. Have fun.
'Then why give him your phone number in the first place? They only show they're a weirdo after the phone number is given out?'
YES! that is exactly what happened. I thought i wanted to talk to him at first, then he acted weird. It really shoudlnt be that hard to understand. Would you ever say to a divorced person, well why did ya marry them in the first place? No.
And there is not a way to block someone from a phone, I would have to change my #.
Hey girl-- good for you! I COMPLETELY support you 100%!!! This is supposed to be a board for support and it is a shame when other people find it as a way to put others down!
If you feel uncomfortable--- you made the right choice! Didn't anyone see the movie "Waiting for Mr. Goodbar"???
I agree that is weird that a guy you've NEVER met--- calls you that often--- and then his comments "what are you shy???" Its INAPPROPRIATE. And for the record, ghosting to me, is behavior that occurs AFTER you have met the person--- not before.
Him not being completely honest--- can mean he has more to hide--- and someone who puts people DOWN is not someone I want to hang around. We all have our preferences in what we want--- and there is a way to present it without acting superior and just overall rude about it!
I'm sorry you had to deal with all of the non-support--- you deserve to be APPLAUDED for having a sense of self and higher self esteem that you realize that you don't owe these types of guys ANYTHING! And sometimes--- talking to them even to say NO creates more drama. Hasn't anyone ever heard about people who are abused by men--- do they not realize that some of those types of men are online???
Good for you--- you have my support!
why are you so adamant about me telling him I dont want to talk to him? weird. this is a message board and I can post what I feel like-I'm not breaking any rules
Now go ahead and ignore, lol
I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone.
Oh my God dancingeel i didnt call him a weirdo to his face, I'm laughing about it on a message board! geez...you really need to lighten up!
I have had some crappy things happen to me in my lifetime...Do you think i give a damn if some guy i exchanged a few emails with in the course of 2 days doesnt call me back after i've given him my # or email? Am i sitting around waiting for him to call me and tell me WHY he has decided to stop talking to me? Come on.
