"Thank you so much! I do actually state that I'm not into hook-ups in my profile. That said, a 46 year old man that I've known one week tried to pressure me into sex without a condom! Of course I said "No". Thank God there are still men like you out there. I'm Xxxxx. Let me know if you'd like to meet for coffee/dinner sometime."


What?

I was thinking of sending a "Safe in the City link"

I've always wanted to step into the shoes of a man and see what the other side looks like from that perspective. Holy heck!

If that is all the competition, they should be lining up at my door right about now.

Taking a different tack on this thread and assuming that it is real and that KungFuFtr is actually looking for some input ... I would say that this match has all the earmarks of one of those sc ... ers. I do like your idea of sending the Safe in the City link. Wait a bit so that she will have seen your reply and then close.

I just must not be living right, I never get crazy matches like this

???

Why in the world would she volunteer that info? All I take away is a desire to be seen as appealing (someone wanted me recently) and a statement that probably worked in bonding with friends (omg, old people are so weird).

I like Scarlett's response. Or something along the lines of sharing that you recently had unprotected sex with a 46 y/o, but only b/c you're pretty sure that's too old to get pregnant.

She complimented you in her first email already telling her you're better than her past dates...why can't I meet a classy woman like that

Cheer up. You can also hold out hope for a woman who says, "Please" I think that beats out thank you.
