I've been emailing with one guy who had my interest until this:

"So what's the next step? Would you like to meet at a gas station and check each other out?"

This is truly a new one. A gas station? I don't even know how to respond to that. I envision us parking our cars next to one another, getting out and giving each other the once-over while leaning on our respective car doors.

My first thought is that he is too cheap to want to meet for lunch. I get that I'm probably not the only one he is talking to. But suggest a Starbucks at least, not a gas station. What do you kids think?

How disrespectful and demeaning. I would just write back and say, "I don't think we're a match. Good luck in your search."

PTC, you are too much!

I would love to meet you at Starbucks. He sounds like a doozer.

You are so right to be offended. This is a rare occasion when I think silence is the best response. If someone gave me so little respect that he couldn't even suggest coffee, I'm done. And he doesn't deserve the respect of a response. He just gave you a sign of things to come.

Gee, I dunno. This sounds a little kinky. Could be a gas. Don't forget to wear pumps.
