Exactly. I guess I'm not used to this sort of thing, so it threw me a bit. In all of my on-off relationship with EH, I've never had a match start off OC like that. It's always been a quick, friendly, straightforward
note to say hi. The one other thing that caught my attention about this guy was that on his profile, for his occupation he put "tell you later." Now I'm not one to pick and choose a guy based on his career, but what's with all the secrecy? I mean, is this guy in the Mafia or something?

I didn’t realize the guy started the very first message in OC with this. Was there anything else to his initial message or was this it in its entirety??

As far as his occupation being listed as ‘’tell you later”, I don’t think that is so bad, as long as he makes it a point to actually tell you later. There are a few ways I could list my occupation, and though they would be accurate each also could be slightly misleading depending upon assumptions the reader may make on their own regarding the “title” of the position. I’ve also been surprised to learn how many people aren’t familiar with the business I’m involved in if I just say what I do, or think it has something to do with an entirely different field. More often than not, I’ve been asked to explain it. Perhaps something similar is the case with him?
