you know, I don't mind meeting people on line. I don't mind chatting back and forth to see if there is enough in common to warrant meeting IRL.
But just as IRL, I'm pretty reserved around strangers. And some stranger I've never met talking about "u + me" really grates. Sorry, the presumed intimacy is :puke: to me.
Do guys have success with this tactic?
I'd prefer speaking in complete sentences and using good English would impress me way more. Is there something wrong with me?

7. It's always fun when some stranger IMs you, and then doesn't bother to introduce themselves. |
|
I started going to babelfish and translating variations of "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying." into different languages for when that happens. :P

to stop it I suppose.
It's just so weird to me to expect immediate coziness. I would never expect that from anyone. A certain affinity, or lust of course. But the verbal intimacy is off putting if I don't have any of those feelings for you (yet).
I guess that makes me odd. :shrug:

10. Nope, not odd at all. |
|
The internet is something that's in your own home. You don't want strangers rummaging around in your home. Especially nameless faceless strangers.

14. Oh no, internet dating |
|
is what I'm talking about. IMing someone on the dating site before you decide you might like to meet for coffee offline.
No, I don't just randomly IM people I don't know. Wayyy too shy for that. :blush:

For most people, being intelligent is a deal breaker. So, yeah, something's probably wrong with you as far as they're concerned.
