Imajerk17 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I sent a girl a "first email" from my mobile phone last night at 2 am. (I couldn't sleep.) I noticed this morning that my email has the sig "Sent from my mobile" on the bottom. How sketchy does this look? Extremely, moderately, a little, not a problem? It was a decent email too....
Kamille Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Does it matter? She'll like you or she won't. We all know the content of email, your pics and your profile matter more than that one-line. Not the end of the world. 1
CarrieT Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Not a big deal - so many people live and do everything from their phones these days that has become commonplace. 1
Cutiepie1976 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Non-issue! I can't remember the last time I powered on my personal laptop for anything (and it's a fantastic laptop too). I use my phone as my "computer" for anything non work-related, even watching online videos. That's true of pretty much all my friends.
clia Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Why did you think it might look sketchy? I agree that it's a non-issue. The time stamp would have me wondering more than where it was sent from.... 1
Star Gazer Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Non-issue, if anything I like it a little more because it tells me you're more eager to contact me. I'd be more put-off by the 2 a.m. time stamp, to be honest. I'd be thinking, "Hea drunk, or he just got home from another date, or he can't sleep and is bored" - none of which make me feel special. 1
Kamille Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Jerk (), I have a question for you. Why do you use OLD? Is it in search of a relationship or for casual encounters? I'm somehow getting the impression that it's becoming the focus of some anxiety for you. I could be wrong. But I feel like you overanalyze how you come across on it way too much. We all know OLD is pretty much a crap shoot. You send bottles out to sea, play with different ways of presenting yourself (or, in my case, choose to be who I am and live with the consequences) and then focus on the people who reply.

Or it could be that I was working late too. The email was well-written with proper grammar and spelling (and no over-the-top gushing) so I don't think "drunk" is what she was thinking.... I did "favorite" her earlier that day...

Yes, I definitely am prone to overanalysing/stressing about these things admittedly. It's an issue of mine, I think I made a lot of strides in that regard but I'm still not all the way there.

Okay, so if it was well-written, I wouldn't think drunk. But at 2 a.m., I wouldn't think you were working late either. I'd assume you just got home from another date, or were bored. Either way, I wouldn't like the time of night that you sent it. I prefer men to think of me in the light of day, I guess.

Id have to say not necessarily. I work nights so I am awake through the evening. But I guess having a timestamp in the middle of the night would raise red flags coming from a stranger. Haha

Haha I'm not saying that you are in fact drunk, coming home from a date, or can't sleep/bored (which was actually the case here with Ima), but rather just what I would think. You don't want to create that perception with women, so why would you? Email her during normal hours (daytime or early evening).
Cutiepie1976 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Sorry, but someone will always nitpick and criticize regardless of what you do. Email constantly during the day, and someone else will wonder if you're unemployed. Just do what you want, when you can. If someone can't give you the benefit of the doubt on even the most mundane minutiae, then it's probably not a good fit. ...NEXT! 1

It's one reason why online dating sucks. You are judged on nearly EVERYTHING without anyone having a true sense of you as a person. I would, for example, have a negative opinion of someone who emailed me on a Friday or Saturday night. I would hope that he's got enough going on that he isn't sitting at home surfing profiles online.
Author Imajerk17 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 What happened to lululemon pants girl? Eh, that kind of fizzled out. Not enough chemistry. We're more friends than anything. It's all good. She even got me to try yoga! I generally avoid emailing people on Friday nights/Saturday nights for the reasons you gave. That said, you would be surprised how many women in my area are online at say 10 pm on a Saturday night.
