I was midly interested. I e'd him, chatted a bit (breifly) about my job & me, & then get back this:


Thanks for writing me back. I think that you are very attractive and I have a lot of respect for nurses. I am not going to tell you my life story via email, though. But if you want to speak and hear each others voice, than call me at (***)***-****. Best time to get me is either before 4pm or after 7:30pm. ( I'm usually at the gym from 4 to 7pm)
Regards,
Bill

I was just thinking - OH NO - rlch HATES talking to strange guys on the phone.

Well, I don't see anything too bad with this one so far but I haven't read his profile yet either. I generally don't like the winks but don't rule them out.

I mean, what do you have to lose to talk to him? I totally agree that you should not call him. If I was you and I really liked his profile enough to be encouraged to speak by phone (being aware of your phone phobia) then I would give him my cell number and a good time to call.

It is good that he explains the best times and his whereabouts. And I like the gym thing.

At the very least he can get you in shape for Greece...but I wouldn't tell him that (wink wink)

You are always so funny - good to hear a match update from you!!

Yeah, I agree, something is off... but hard to put a finger on it... maybe it's the fact that he's just all about the "I find you attractive..." and not enough of the "I'd really like to know more" aspect of it...

I can see myself writing something like this. Frankly I'm tired of doing the online thing where I write the same thing over and over again just to get to a real time phone conversation and then maybe a coffee meeting. I'd rather just say "close enough let's talk and see if we want to meet."

Insofar as listening to your intuition about something being off then by all means listen to that and move on.

I think everyone is putting too much thought into this topic.

Thanks everyone - I decided I was perturbed with his email b/c i really am not ALL that interested in meeting him. BUT, since there isnt anyone ELSE on the line right now (well, except Good ol' Lawn Boy)
