I have had several people email lately with the same phrase somewhere along the lines of "you are very pretty and you sound very interesting". Obviously they wouldnt contact me unless they wanted to get to know me but for some reason the phrase almost seems identical to "you seem a little different as such i will proceed with caution"??

Apparently, you are also prone to over-analyzing.

If you find them interesting, then respond. If not, then don't. Finding each other interesting seems a good place to start (not a reason for suspicion).

Or look at it as they see you as something different, so proceed with open-mindedness (and caution!)/

It only becomes a problem if what they think of you is inaccurate so until that point, what does it matter?

I always thought that interesting and different were positive things in the dating world. In fact, every man I've dated more than three times has used those words to describe me early in the relationship.

They're wating you to think that they're the kind of guy that likes girls for more than just their looks, so they threw in the "interesting" compliment without actually mentioning what it was that they found interesting.

They are interested in you, and so early on at that time they can't really use any other compliments, cut them some slack will you, you are interesting, that is good It is a compliment ...

It's a compliment about your profile. Profiles are often so generic that there is nothing that stands out. You must have written something in it that stands out. What do you think it is?

I just thought it was interesting that four different people in the past week chose the word interesting. Very possible I am over analyzing, but I had wondered previously if parts of my profile were a little too abstract and/or "tangenty" and maybe as a result a nice description is "interesting" when in reality they are scratching their heads....

You know what is really interesting? Until this post I always thought the OP was male. Now THAT is interesting!
