And also keep in mind that in dating, what you want isn't the only thing. You think you're being goofy and harmless, but the woman yesterday perceived you as creepy and threatening. Just because she doesn't like you doesn't make her an idiot. You never consider how you come across or how the woman may perceive you or how she might expect you to behave. Until you get less self-centered and accept that you are your biggest obstacle, you're never going to have a second date.

She is not a idiot for being turned off, she is a idiot for deleting her profile and leaving the site. Now if I had listed


I enjoy oral sex
I like having sex in public
I have long penis
I like putting passion mark on a womans buttcheeks
I like eating desert off a woman's breast



Then it would be understandable

Don't flatter yourself. If anything, your message was probably just one of many similar incidents being thrown her way. Yours might have been the last straw.

Always be careful with e-mail. Context and intent can be very hard to read and if she interprets your message wrong it can be dire. A few months back I found myself in a wee bit of trouble over an e-mail I sent a gal at work. It was poorly written and something I wrote was taken in a way I had not intended and she turned on me fast. She didn't ask me about it or even reflect on our friendly relationship and give me the benefit of the doubt. It really sucked and caused me a lot of mental anguish because I really like this gal and would never willingly offend her. Thankfully someone must have stood up for me because all I received was "a talk".

Never again...lol.

So true! (And texting, too.) Five different people can read the same thing and still react five different ways.

Grasshopper, you have been on three FIRST DATES in 2011 and in not one year out of the previous several have you ever had a second date. And your annual predictions are repetitive and are never realized ... good grief. Enjoy the TV sports and the nachos!

Exactly what I was thinking. Similarities are important but what they both need to start with are similar manners. An eccentric person does not have the same manners as a "normal" person. Sometimes an eccentric person may have better manners than a normal person. He or she learned to work all angles but managed to stay within boundaries. I don't think TVSG is this kind of eccentric.

Here is an example below:

A girl he was getting along with just fine is suddenly an idiot because of her actions. This is precisely why these two should not be together. One minute they act like they like each other and the next minute one is a creep and the other is an idiot.

You seriously need to take an English course. I hope your work correspondence is much better than what you post on here.
