Do men understand that women may not be comfortable meeting right off the bat?

What you listen to is not news, it’s sensationalist tripe. “News” analyses the merits of European Central Bank monetary policy, the merits of President-elect Obama’s stimulus plan, and matters of similar importance.

Create an anonymous Yahoo e-mail that does not have your name in it. Drop guys who are insistent, inconsistent, display premature excess infatuation, or for any other reason. Do only what you’re comfortable doing.

But, know that while you dawdle, I have dated someone else.

Say what?!

I think we all need a degree in Frog Talk before any of us can fully comprehend what he's saying...

I was going to say welcome to Eha, but it looks like you've been very very busy in the month you've been on here... wow! You may surpass my count tonight!

Let me try a translation:

First he's letting me know that he thought I was mildly insulting

Then he mildly insulted me back because I referred to tv news instead of quoting something truly newsworthy... perhaps the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times

Then he told me what to do, the froggie likes ordering women around

And then he inserted himself into the solution

Basically, he was being mean to a newbie while departing some adequate advice.

My quest for an explanation was referring to why he dug my first OP out of oblivion.


I'm waiting frog...

*crosses arms and taps foot patiently*

I envy your patience.
Personally, I'm begining to feel a little tired of interpretations...

Red,
Hi. You are absolutely correct. First, he should have addressed all of the points in your message. Just leaving his number and telling you to call him could mean 1.) he doesn't care about you at all aside from just wanting to hook up with you or 2.) he does not want to put the effort into typing all of that and wants to answer your questions via telephone. You are worth the effort of a well-thought-out, genuine e-mail message so the guy is at fault here.

About ten years ago, I read the standard for online dating was that people would e-mail for three months and then talk on the phone for three months and then meet. Many do not wait that long anymore. Some women will leave a number in the first or second message. Some will wait longer. This is each woman's personal decision. I almost always wait for the woman to initiate talking on the phone or meeting. Some do initiate it rather quickly.

I think guys should hold off a bit. I heard there are a lot of "yo hit me up" and "give me ur cell" messages that guys send to women. I cannot believe these guys actually think either would work.

You have had your share of crazy guys (following you home and a note on your door).
