So, I’m back at fishing and dove straight into the ocean (online dating site).
Instant regret. And this isn’t even a site with heavy traffic! ugh.
On the very first day, in fact within two hours, I received the ever repulsive, “I’m new to this. I’m looking for open-minded, adventurous type.”
My response? “Keep looking” haha
Yo, man, is that really the way you want to make first contact? What thaaaaa. For starters, you don’t SEEM new. Reading that statement does not scream out please be gentle. No sir, that screams the opposite. At least to ME. To me, it says I am not wasting time trying to sweet talk you darlin. I want to play. With YOU, should you reply flirtatiously.
Been there buddy. Yep, I’ve tried many different responses to that common approach.
I’ve been flirtatious in my immediate response, without intentially eluding to acceptance, like “Arrre you now?”
I’ve been princess positivity, like “How wonderful for you to chose to start your search for true love!”
I’ve been curious, like “Describe that type further.”
I’ve been nonchalant, like “I’m new too. Good luck to us both.”
Regardless of which of those I have chose to use in the past, they all ultimately ended in the same result. Some took many more messages to get there. Some took one more and just the fact that I had replied. But, enevitably, they all led down the same path...
’open-minded’ = open to exploring and/or chatting about sexual things that most folks consider out of the ordinary, and
‘adventurous’ = willing to do /\ those things
So, already knowing this, I cut to the chase and smartass that I am, I kept it simple and replied “Keep Looking”. To which I received no further replies. Whew! Finally. Gals, sometimes we reply just to be the kind lasses that we all are, even if its the ol’ standby “Not interested”. But trust me, that leads to the inevitable response back, “But why?” Which makes me grit my teeth. Dude. Walk away. Well, in this case, SCROLL ON. While some of you will be so naive as to say (in you whiniest 13 yr old voice), “But, he was direct in stating what he wannnnts.” No dear, you read it wrong, he was directly stating that he is a horn ball and wants someone to talk dirty to. But, hey, at least he has balls. He will find SOMEone to do that with I’m quite certain.
