Bells Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 This is funny, I had chatted with this woman in the past online...but I think she left..and a month later came back again...and I gave her a welcome back email. I kinda joked with her, "So you're back on the prowl again, eh? lol" And I get this email: I am single but I guess I am not much into prowling these days...I dont mind chatting though...I hope you dont mind. Being how I know how people on dating sites feel the opposite..and some of how you feel.... I said... Actually, I rather do mind...and I am sure other single men would mind as well. What's the point of being on a dating site if you're just chatting? Didn't come to a dating site for pen pals....if someone has no intention of "prowling" nor meeting someone on here, why even be here? Am I right? It's a shame because you live so close-by. Then she said: I think you are smart enough to know my answer to your response. You should spend a little extra effort on getting to know people before "prowling". You may have passed up many good people. Believe me, the people like this I passed up was well worth it, because why should I waste my time with them, when I could spend time with people who actually WANT to meet you? THOSE are the people that don't pass me by. I called her on it...because she never said that in the first place..she just out right said she just wants to chat, nothing more. NOW she's saying, "I prefer to get to know someone before meeting them." And I said, "Well, you didn't come off like that." I'm sure you've people bumped into tons of them online...the one you talk to forever, but never actually meet for lunch. I think alot of people online, are really hermits that have no real interaction with the real world.
rod_in_gtown Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I have. This is frustrating to no end. That's why I don't do the online dating anymore. I have found that speed dating and group dating works a lot better with me. You actually get a feel for the other person, also you can get a feel for the chemistry right off the bat.
