Ditto what all the ladies said. Trek - way cool visual. I need to learn how to do that...

On the other hand, I've had my share of awkward attempts at humor online. I have lived and learned. And have been seeing a guy I met in Dec. of 2010 with one of those "awkward" first e-mails. It contained no humor - just a plea for advice on some cooking issues (he is in the food industry).

I am only glad my horrible attempt at a first communication wasn't stomped on and placed in the "trash" bin.

From one who has been there .. avoid the humor until you have a firm grasp (no puns intended) of the situation and person you are communicating with.

Nevermind olneyjeeps I had you mixed up with some other crazy dude who didn't know his right foot from his left. Your pic looks a lot like his so I thought you two were the same person.

Lol, do you want me to get into what goes on in many of my dates as well? Lol, I've seen your posts and how many of your dates go.
Like I am supposed to post about every date I go on? I am extremely specific (Laura put the bar very very high and "M' raised it... everyone else was not worthy of a footnote) of the person I seek. "M" is an incredible woman ...cultural differences (VERY different / foreign culture) are sometimes insurmountable... still on very good terms with her, and will "love" forever as well (different love). This being said, I accept that profiles do not say everything accurately and try to leave things open for opportunity. No intention to be a "poofer" but the reaction to rejection (especially from by women who are "hot" by social standards... talk about "chip on the shoulder") does give value to "it is not worth trying to explain".

Dude I never asked for you to tell me how your dates went. I was simply saying rather you really want me to tell you how much action I get (as I get a lot of action from many of the girls I go out with).

Goodness. (Rolls eyes).

This thread has gone off topic. The topic here is how to handle initial interactions with an online match. Please start a new thread if you'd like to talk about something else. Thanks!

Actually I think it is about how not to handle initial interactions

But I still don't care. I've since met some girls with an actual sense of humor.
