OK - so I am new to EH - having a ball BTW!

I am communicating with about dozen men. One thing that's kind of bugging me though (and makes me hesitate to reply) is when they are little TOO open. I am having a lot of men answer the question 'where would you go on a week long vacation' in a manner that is turning me off. For example, one guy replied:

-Anywhere with my bride, because it would mean that I found love, and want to share all the beautiful things in life with one person, and have decided to love that person forever.-

When I read this reply I cringed and wanted to run for an exit! The question is vague, I mean, the guy doesn't even know my last name. I am in my 30's and obviously on EH because I am not a serial dater but those kind of resposes overwhelm me and frankly freak me out. Am I being too quick to judge???

some men have a terrible habit of saying what they *think* women want to hear.

and they say women read too many romance novels, LOL.

You should run fast from such a response.

I can't figure out what people are thinking sometimes.

Well I am a guy and I would never answer the question that way. Should I ever receive an answer that is along those lines I am afraid that as you are running for the exit that you best be fast or I will run you over.

Some people just don't have any clue as to what is appropriate.

Speaking to 12 men??

Online dating must be incredible for women out there. I am severely jealous!

Definitely run for the border!

And btw, 12 ?!

Can't say as I'm jealous, I don't know how I'd effectively communicate with 12 new guys at once... though it would be nice to have the option to.

Have fun!!
