mortensorchid Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I was on the dating website the other day, and I had gotten some messages from some people. Some just disappeared after a few messages here and there. But one kind of angered me. He sent a message "Hey I'm (name), you look like someone I'd like to know." We exchanged a few email messages, he seemed alright. THen he asked for my number, so I said "Ok, my number is (number)". Then I get another two messages from them saying "Hey I'm (name), you look like someone I'd like to know". Then a second message saying "Oh I'm sorry about that, I wasn't thinking." I decided it was not a big deal since I assume that those who are doing OLD are talking (online) with several people and potentially meeting several people. But I sent my number a few days ago, and have heard nothing. Makes me angry.
bamp78 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Haha sounds like you ran into a bot online. Happened to me plenty of times on free sites...what are you using? Anyways chat up a girl and responses seem somewhat mechanical till eventually they drop a "hey contact me at this address" bs and I check out for obvious reasons.
gaius Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Maybe he tried to call you but dialed the pizza place instead. His organization system doesn't seem that great.
Emilia Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 It's one of those inexplicable things when someone seems to actively pursue and then disappers. Maybe they met someone in the meantime, maybe their mum got home and caught them on the computer, maybe their wife turned up. You'll get used to it
Nohbody Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Hi, I'm Nohbody. I like the cut of your jib. You seem like someone I'd like to know!
freetolove Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 have you tried meeting people in activity groups? I"m in SF so there's always singles mixers, I"m sure they have more then bars in your area such as hiking, writing etc.
Author mortensorchid Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Hi, I'm Nohbody. I like the cut of your jib. You seem like someone I'd like to know! Touche and that's funny! As for the suggestion of the OP after this one, I am doing a lot of other things this upcoming week that is beyond the online world, so yes, I will be out and about around others. MeetUp groups are always good things, I find, for getting together with others and really making connections with others.
