I'm getting the feeling the OP was pestering the woman to hang out when she wasn't ready. I have the strong feeling the story is biased towards the side and if the woman appeared to give her side it would change everything. I'm feeling there was a little delusion involved..

Also, what you see as "probably just about 5 years younger" may be just your wishful thinking. She is probably a LOT younger than you, but you think of yourself as young and hip (just a guess).

I have had it happen that guys creep on me like this. Simple hints in person, or any kind of polite decline sometimes just don't do the trick, and the only thing that works in this case is a FLAT-OUT NO.

(however, I would not call anyone repulsive)

She doesn't sound like a psycho to me. She sounds like someone who is tired of getting hit on by older guys. Should have stuck with the casual friendship, but sorry this happened to you anyway.

YES! I'm a man and I've heard the stories.

So you don't think it's even remotely possible that some people are simply rude for no reason what so ever? That maybe she is just a rude and moody person?

Well sometimes in life we meet people who are just plain nuts. If a person starts out in the beginning acting strage I don't think it's going to get any better.. So the next question is how is the body? If the body is bangin your not going to give up so let the drama begin..

Did she already have your number or email address so that she knew it was actually you and not someone else who sent her the message?

Did you introduce yourself and explain who you were? Granted, if she didn't know who you were, she could have asked politely. But if she mistook you for someone else, there you go.

And honestly, could you not have found a better way to approach, like in person? Emails and messages out of the blue can creep people out. A gentleman goes out of his way to make sure he doesn't seem threatening, and the best way to do that is to have a genuine conversation.

Regardless, unless she mistook you for someone who had been pestering her for a while, she was rude.

I don't believe we should discuss her whatsoever. The text could've been sent by anybody. What if he got her number wrong in the first place?

I ask her to a dog fundraiser event where you bring your dogs and compete in fun competitions like races and dress-ups. I say "thought you might like to hang out at this fun event, etc."

She responds in bold letters that she finds me repulsive and no way in hell would she ever hang out with me! [Um, OK, that would be a no...]

You have no way of knowing this were a correct email address.

I'm sure you're not the only person she chats up. Possibly couldn't put the name and face together, or simply confused you for someone else.

Honestly, I've never heard of someone this rude, unless they're trying to get rid of telemarketers, or person who harasses and stalks for dates.

The other, shes simply off her rocker.

Yeah, the most simple solutions to me is that maybe she did not know who you were.
