Some of you guys take yourselves way to seriously on these online dating sites.

Well you have to email a little in order to get to the phone.

All kinds use online dating these days. And alot of women won't even call you/give out their number without exchanging alot of emails. I would have a problem if it totally replaced face to face meeting, but I don't think that will ever happen, kind of like online shopping.

I met my boyfriend online and we haven't communicated via email since the day we met. we rarely text too..other than a quick something good morning/night..that's it! He's definitely not socially awkward at all.

Wow... I just got through reading the first several pages of responses, and I do not know if the turned changed dramatically or not, but people wonder why women develop issues? Read how dogged they are by men on here.... This outlook is not worn on their sleeve.... It takes a while through a courtship process, when people are on their best behavior, to figure out if the man feels this way towards women.

Why do men think it takes several emails to get a chick's number? There have been enough spoiled goods for us to have some reservations....

And that first phone conversation is usually the last. Great analogy.

Why this total obsession with my age (assuming that this is once again to what you're referring)? It's really a little unhealthy, don't you think? Not to mention downright ludicrous, you funny little boy.
