And that's an awesome first message, went on a first date last night with someone and he told me he was a bit weirded out by me as well (but he was laughing when he said and I think he meant it in a good way lol).
How in the world do you be cranking out all these dates? I swear you have met like 6 different guys in 30 days. I got so bored meeting that many people while dating. That's how I ended up latching on to a FWB and giving the dating thing a rest during periods of dating, but not really getting to know anyone.

This is partly why I quit online dating. The irony is these guys weren't what I desired yet complained because I told them off the bat I'd never be interested.

It has been my observation that while men will have differing opinions on how a woman should do it when they turn down an approach by a guy, ultimately they want what they want and a "no" answer is not really appreciated.

Though I guess I've been lucky because I haven't had any men get really nasty with me about it.

The worst I've had is sheer persistence. These fellas seem to think that no matter how many times I say, "thanks no thanks" they can change my mind if they just keep me talking.

Had one the other night, I couldn't even bring myself to be snarky or ridiculous with him. I honestly felt sorry for him, and I'm not even sure why. It's not like he was unusual in that he was a lonely soul looking for love. But I'm very definitely NOT seeking a serious relationship, especially a monogamous one with a jealous, possessive man. And he clearly stated in his profile that he was looking for a faithful, monogamous, long term relationship. Fall in love, move in, play house and have my babies kind of guy. NOPE. I told him what I'm getting into, to try and reinforce the point that I'm not that kind of girl at this stage of my life, been there done that--over it! And he said, "Well before you get all into that crazy stuff, I want to ask you to get to know me and give me a chance." Dude. What part of NOT HAVING IT do you not get? I finally told him that I wish him the best in his quest for love, but it ain't gonna be with me, and honesty is better than BS here, so go bark up some other chick's tree...

But it's becoming clear to me from some of the guys I HAVE talked to that most women just don't even respond at all...that's probably why any communication is considered encouragement by many of the guys.

I think that is why so many women complain because they don't get it. I had one guy who had kids and kept trying to persuade me. He'd say let's meet as friends or something like that and I'd say no, because it'll never be more than that. Then he'd tell me he'd like to send me email. Then he tried seeing if we could talk via the email. Another guy told me he'd be found waiting for me to change my mind (because apparently women change their mind). I told him not changing and he pulled the old "you'll change your mind because you're alone". The time they spend trying to convince me could be spent wooing a woman that wants them.

I've just been on OLD for a few days so far. The strangest message I've received so far is:

'Will you be my life partner?'

That was it. It was from someone in another country as well. I didn't respond. I wonder what he would have done if I'd said yes though.

"You'll change your mind because you're alone."

BAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...heh...

If a female is alone, it's because she's chosen to be, thus far, not because no one is showing an interest.

It's gotten so I feel like I'm being circled by sharks or something...



But I am going out to see someone for the second time here tonight for an evening of stimulating conversation over Mexican food. Mmm...fried ice cream...

I went out with a guy for drinks and it was very platonic - we had met in real life for our jobs, and we were just getting to know each other. He knew my background with my divorce and having a child .. and he told me straight faced, all serious: if I ever had a kid, and the mom and I didn't work out, I would have to kill all of us. Separating just wouldn't be an option. We'd all have to die.

I don't know why guys pull that, like being alone is worse than being with someone who is not right for them. I think people need to be confident and never settle.
