Another dating site (that I didn't join up) just wrote up a quick profile, and was curious how it all worked.
a Guy from there contacted me a couple of days ago, said he liked my pic, and wanted to get to know me. sent through some of his pics to me (which were nice) and then i told him to add me on msn messenger.

He did, and I hadn't logged in for 24 hours (been busy). Anyway, the very next day, i checked my email and he sent me an email saying "please delete my pics, I am tired of waiting for you, hope you find what u r looking for "

Why so much impatience/rush? it was less than 24 hours since my last correspondence with him.
I don't feel that it's much of a loss, as he lived far away from me (thought it would be nice to get to know each other tho), but was kinda stunned at how quickly he took offense.

I am wondering whether I should reply or not. I figure if he can get that upset over something like that, probably good I saw his true colours now.

what do you guys think?
Would u react this way, in under 24 hours?

I guess from his POV you "poofed"! lol. No, I would not react that way.

Was it on Match? I found that everyone there who wanted to IM was, well, weird, and they all lived a looong way away. I turned IM off.

LOL@ Africa

I had completely forgotten about that site, so when he contacted me, I told him I no longer visit that site, as I felt it was more geared towards just physical relationships, and I was looking for that one special relationship.

he said the same, that he hardly visits it, but really liked my pic and myprofile.

Yikes, I sometimes find some people really demanding on one's time! Is it still okay in the dating world to have, 'a life'.

I was really stunned at his message.

He probably took the invitation to add you on messenger to be an invitation for instant conversation right then. Clearly a misunderstanding between the two of you, but his reaction doesn't speak well of him.

yes. thank you DASH

I sometimes take these kind of situations as blessings in disguise. I get to see some of the real character, even before meeting in RL.
Thinking I may just leave it and not reply at all. I say his email to me speaks volumes....
