Wouldn't date anyone on such a short conversation.

When I online dated some people treated the emails the same way I would treat instant messages. It was a bit disconcerting.
I can't imagine even wanting to message back people like this. I'd like some indication that one of them read my profile.
That always used to be the easiest way for me to break the ice when i used online dating. Read the girl's profile, find a few subjects you have in common with her (that is the point right) and write a few short paragraphs about that with a few questions. Once in a while you'd get a response back and go from there.
A couple general sentences with 1 word answers never seemed to go anywhere.
#1 does seem a little over eager. (Plus the misuse of "your/you're" bugged me). I'm not sure on that one as he could be one who ends up really clingy after the date. He's one that if I did agree to meet I'd likely give me Google voice number to rather than my real one.
I'd be more willing to give the second one a chance. You told him you aren't looking for a hookup and he still seems willing to meet.

I'm going to guess conversations like this:
Him: "You're super sexy."
Me: "Thank you. "
Him: "You're welcome. Wanna get a drink sometime?" (My profile says I don't drink).
Me: "Well, I don't drink alcohol (allergic) or coffee but I'd be up for a cup of tea of hot chocolate sometime." (Figure I might as well define "drinks" upfront-I usually get juice or stick with water when I go out).
Him: "Wanna fool around?"
This is from someone whose profile states he is looking for someone 6-10 years younger than I am; mine states I'm looking for someone 5-10 older than he is.
As a guy I would say. Guy #1 (without the repeats) for a regular date. For a hook up I would use the guy #2 approach; Alcohol involved and the least amount of money spent.
If you were a friend or my sister I would say niether.
Rain Man didn't live with his parents, he was sent to a mental institution because he burned his brother as a baby.
I mean come on that was a big part of the movie.
Are you sure..? I thought he saved his baby brother from the bath tub - then later, as an adult, almost burned his house down after he left some waffles in the toaster..lol

You need to get with it on your 80's movies! He's right
Next you'll be asking whether Molly Ringwald ever did get with Jake Ryan at the end of 16 candles. GTFO!
Based on the replies and OP's response, can we all agree that the onus is on the guy to be interesting or funny and that OP basically just sits there looking pretty and waiting for chemistry?
Let's look at OP's responses:
Me-Thanks for the compliment!
Me-Sure, how's your weekend going?
Me-I've actually never been to a comedy show. I do like going to restaurants and movies.
Me- Are you ever in my area?
Me- Perhaps...what might you be interested in doing?
Me- I like meeting up for a drink.
Me- Is that something you'd want to do too?
Me- Great! So what brings you to this site?
OP isn't exactly the life of the party either...but not a single person so far has mentioned that
and when there is no "chemistry", let's agree that it's the guys fault. (nothing wrong here but just so everyone is on the same page)
