and I have never really been in the dating game. My 3 long term relationships I have had were all friends first situations and I never really had to look for them.

This one guy and I were texting each other since saturday and yesterday he sent me an emoticon that I found inappropriate and thats all it took for me to feel uncomfortable and tell him I don't think we are a good match.

Is this normal guy behavior and Im weird or was I right? I feel like a fish out of water on this dating site and just don't know what to expect. I really liked him before that.

I wouldn't say it's normal guy behavior on match but it is typical guy behavior. You'll come across a lot of creepers on online dating sites. Just ignore them.

What was the emoticon?

Guys can do dumb stuff for sure.... I'm pretty smooth but I do on occasion mess something up, But when I do I always apologize and make it right. did you tell this guy you did not like what he did?

It was an emoticon of santa opening his red jacket and a black line covering up what I suppose is his penis. and him texting Merry Christmas. When I suddenly went silent for a while he said sorry but by then I'm just creeped out he sent it at all.

If it was the eggplant, move on and don't look back. That's not normal from a guy who is putting his best foot forward to get a date with you.

Don't bother responding.

My immediate silence was indicator enough I guess because he texted sorry but i already feel way too creeped out.

Earlier in the conversation I had asked if he was close to his family because I am and I believe its an important barometer of healthy relationships in general and he said he hasn't seen them in 20 years and is illegal in this country which maybe additionally led to me being put off of him but I didn't think so until I saw that emoticon and I was like ewwww. so unclassy to me and disrespectful.

Hmmm, to me that one just goes in the "stupid stuff guys do" folder. I could see a guy just thinking it was a silly emoji and sending it trying to be cute. But if you took such offense to it, you were probably picking up on other vibes that were creeping you out so don't sweat cutting him loose.
