So I sent an email to a guy yesterday saying exactly this: Hey you. I saw your profile and was interetsted. I don't have exactly what you are looking for but I thought I'd drop you a line anyways. So is Match as exciting for you as it has been for me? LOL (signed name) (I accidentally inserted an extra T in interested. Simple typo error that I didn't see)
This is the response I get this morning:
You should probably spell-check your copy & paste e-mail before you send it out to a bunch of people you're "interetsted" in
My response: Excuse me? Wow, I accidentally inserted a letter and you turn around an insinuate things?? Why are you even on here?
Him: I insinuated what I did because your e-mail was so blatantly generic that I'm sure it was sent to a bunch of people, typo and all. And you're absolutely right, I've resorted to internet dating because of my inability to hit it off with a cat lady/CougarLife.com reject who struggles with spelling
I didn't even respond. WTF is that??? I mean unbelievable.
I'm sorry but I don't believe I owe anyone my personal family business until I feel they are ready to know it. It's none of his business why I had to reschedule PERIOD!!! I don't even know the guy!! And cancelling 3 hours prior is NOT last minute. If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have mentioned rescheduling NOR calling the guy. I would have simply sent a text.
Thats okay. I guess people operate differently. If it were me, I would tell the person I am cancelling with why Im cancelling and will offer alternatives and get it scheduled while on the phone with them. Me, I would have said "Hey, my mom is really ill and wants to spend time with me to please understand why I have to cancel. How about we get together afterwards or lets set something up for ............... and put it in ink?" But that is just me. That would let the person know why I have to cancel and will show them I am still interested in meeting with them. Maybe this is how you should have handled it instead of getting so upset that you have to start a thread about it.
Again I don't have to tell this guy ANYTHING and I DID offer to reschedule. I did clarify I was interested in meeting him before he turned around and started insulting me. BTW I never said it had to be Saturday night. It could have been during the day as I knew he didn't work on weekends.
Par for the course on online dating sites, it's the RARE good person that you'll find there.
Most are just freaky jerks, and I don't have the time or inclination to weed through all of them.
Hope you meet someone worth dating in your "real" life.

I'm not sure why he bothered to reply if he thought your email was blatantly generic.
Maybe all of this is a valuable lesson not to take the bait from jerks. Take the high road, delete his email, and don't be a jerk back.
