Well yes but that wasn't really the direction I was going when making that statement. I think that men (and some women I've known) just have this game of sorts that they play when doing their online dating. Maybe my wording wasn't as accurate as I was thinking.. I can't think of the better word right now but for example, there were guys I would end up talking to online and then find out that they had the same talk, the same walk, the same everything when talking to a single girlfriend of mine. It's like they are rehearsed and say and do the same thing - the game. Does this make more sense??
But yes, to answer your question - sure, men and women both do that mental / emotional game playing. I personally detest it and have no tolerance for it but I know people that live their lives that way.

I blocked someone on both match and Yahoo just the other day. He wrote to me on match and I responded with the canned "I'm not interested" response. He then wrote to chide me on using the standard response so then I responded personally and spelled out in detail why we were not compatible (religion). Then he wrote back twice - I deleted these messages and blocked him. The next day he sent me a somewhat creepy e-mail on Yahoo so I also blocked him there and reported him to the site for harrassment.

Why anyone would continue to pursue someone when they've already been told NO, is beyond me. I guess the guy was desperate, or just plain creepy. Either way he doesn't have my phone number, e-mail, or last name so I'll be just fine.

I guess don't response might be the best advice.
They won't write/call you forever.

I dated a guy once and he text me one night saying he wanted to come to my place and kiss me. He was like, Oh, I won't go into your house...you just need to come out and give me a kiss. This really freak me out. After several weeks of text/emails he finally stop because i either say no or don't response at all.

YOUR email. Block his email from reaching YOUR email. Who cares about the site's email.

Exactly. I don't understand why so many people seem to have this need to explain; thus, prolong the agony...

I agree. I am sure he will just move on, I hope, but he creeps me out.
