Interesting way to reply...
Find a Conversation

I received an email from a guy from match stating "you look and sound great, I'd love to know more". So, even though he was older than my criteria (by 15 yrs!) I responded. "Thank you for the compliment, your profile is nice, are your originally from ******, enjoy your day."
So I get an email back like this:
U: Thank you for the compliment
A: deserved
U: your profile is nice
A: thank you
U: are you originally from ******
A: yes, grew up in *******
U: enjoy your day
A: u bet, do you want to exchange email addresses?
I'm guessing U means "you" and A means "Answer"!!??? not sure...Anyway, what are your thoughts on that?? I'm basically not interested due to the age difference so I'll probably email him back saying so. But just wanted to share that interesting reply.

Why did you respond in the first place if you weren't interested? Isn't that a little cruel?

If you are not interested, why did you reply?
He sounds nice to me.
Geez, sheri, you're stealing all my lines!

If a guy isn't within your criteria, why bother responding at all? Is it because there's nothing else out there?
Or maybe a higher power willed you to respond and you two are meant to be.

I find it interesting that you were thinking from the get-go that you weren't interested because of the age difference... but you still sent back a friendly, open email that extended the conversation.
If you were really truly not interested because of the age difference, you shouldn't have extended the conversation. I think that you were hoping that he'd be really cool, in which case the age thing wouldn't have been a big deal, but you didn't like his email so now you're using "age" as an excuse to break off contact with him.
In other words, you're basically being dishonest, and that's going to show through somehow. My suggestion is to just say "Thanks for the email, after some thought I can see that we're not a match. Good luck" and then block him.
