Topic: Did you REALLY just ask that?

I'll admit I'm kind of a small mover in the world of online dating. I'm
pretty new to it and have had friends with great experiences with it and
friends with bad ones. however, I think there are somethings that you
shouldn't ask within the first 10-15 min. of IM-ing.

If a persona asks if I want a boyfriend I'm honest. I'm not sure what I
want from this... I'm just trying it out. Then he asked if I would meet
him. I said not at this time. I'd like to im and email with him for a
bit longer before agreeing to meet. Then, after these last two answers
he asked me if I was a virgin. Please tell me that you can see where he
went wrong and that you can also find the humor in this.

I can't believe he was that forward for one thing. For another, here's
a tip everyone (especially men)... women don't want to be asked that in
the first 15 min. At least wait an hour :wink:

I have been asked all sorts of questions. Mostly its always about sex
and my cup size. When it gets to those questions I pretty much figure
he has a one track mind and say goodbye.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can be so stupid as to bring up
something like that so quickly! -- things they (probably) would never
say in person. The anonymity of the internet certainly gives morons a
chance to practice their moronosity.

The bad part of it is that this sort of thing really makes it all the
more difficult for those of us who are actually trying to find friends
here -- women get suspicious of ANY guy who contacts them, thinking
every guy is just an idiot and a perv. Which isn't always the case, but
after she's been through a dozen bad experiences, she gets a little
gunshy.

That's why I don't even bother e-mailing anybody first anymore. I let
them contact me, usually after they've seen something I've posted on one
of the forums. That seems to me to be a much better icebreaker than
"hey, can you dance naked in front of your webcam?"

Its usually just when they IM me, when they send me emails they are
pretty respectful. I did have one guy or should I say boy, he was 18,
send me an email and it said something like~~~ I would hit it!!
Now I know that all men are not like that, so I hope that men don't just
stop emailing because they are afraid that we will think they are pervs.
If someone sends me an email like the one I got, I just send something
back like....didn't your mama teach you any manners? I never hear back
from them for some odd reason?? I think its an age thing...I really
do!!! If someone IM's me, I answer them but if they start asking me
stupid questions...I just say "GET LOST"

WOW, Sounds like a winner - Does he have a job or did he e-mail you
from the library?

Yes... please everyone, don't get me wrong. I love to hear from men who
are actually interested in talking or emailing. I just don't like being
bombarded with emails from men who are just hoping to "tap that."

Also, I didn't really appreciate the insinuation that just because I
want to wait more then 15min. to choose to meet someone in person that I
must automatically be a virgin and therefore scared of sex or
something...

I'm not scared of sex... just stupidity! laugh

Frank Zappa said the two most common elements in the universe are
hydrogen and stupidity, and the internet certainly proves half of that!

I would hope that you get contacted by a better class of people than
that guy....!

Hang in there girlie poo, someone nice will come along, not all men are
like that, and NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, it say's alot about
you, it also easily idenifies you and if someone with knowledge of
computers knows the roundabouts then they will know your IP address and
pester you, or even find you. Maybe you know this already, but just a
concerned citizen, and then too, I am a mother and grandmother, so that
comes into play.
Take care....NODEN

At first messages like that were comical. But then I started receiving quite a few. How pathetic! I don't understand what makes them think these things are okay.

There are some nice guys around. You just have to weed through the jerks first. It's worth the time and effort.
