You've really got to stop reading into these interactions and take them on face value.

You are assigning all kinds of back stories to these women that may be WAY off base.

One day at a time, and read what is right in front off you.

I really don't believe you're ready to date at all.

She is screaming at him that she isn't interested. I heard it loud and clear way back.


I just can't understand why the OP has ANY interest in her with these "conversations". It should have been over after a couple of exchanges.

Here's what I don't get. Why has she responded? It's a dating site, we gets new messages every day. I imagine the women get far more than the men. Am I really to assume that people respond to every message just to be polite? And there has been nothing polite about redhead's interaction with me. Polite would be saying "I'm not interested." She's not being polite.

This will all be resolved soon as I messaged her "If you're not interested you can simply tell me that." I suppose she needed permission to use her manners.
