[...] by Susan on January 5, 2008 I can’t believe this. Remember, the wet noodle who couldn’t bring himself to call me or write? The one who took like 4 weeks to basically do nothing? Well, I just got off the phone with him. He [...]

Ladies: thanks for your blech, ugh, goober, sheesh, delete-delete-DELETE! support. I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m already getting a better response at ye ol’ MeatMarket.com, which is always flattering — and truthfully they may not all be a great match, but they seem (in writing) to be not too crazy. Two so far look like we may even progress to the phone stage…and that was/is AFTER a few emails.

Lanipai: you’re absolutely right we need to see the whites of their eyes to really know. Getting to that point, however, doesn’t seem an option with the Wet Noodles out there. This is probably a good thing because, as I’ve said, I might ROLL my eyes at their wishy-washiness in person. Ah, the soccer stud. I’ll have to carry a “wanted” sign around with me when my kids’ spring season starts.

Writesome: I don’t disagree that guys are just slower…in many ways! (ha, sorry, guys.) But if a guy can’t meet my unique “woman’s expectation” about timing, I don’t think he’s the one for me. If someone is really interested they make an effort. Am I right?

And Terry, yes. I think you’re right.

I too find it very frustrating to “chat” online with guys and then it never amount to anything, not even a phone call to see if we like the sound of each other’s voice. You can’t tell by email really, unless of course they are incapable of putting a sentence together and I’m sorry, that just doesn’t fly with me. Of course, sometimes when you do connect it’s frustrating and disappointing.

I have my profile hidden, so I do the initial contacting. If I don’t hear back from them within a timeframe, I delete my message (on this particular “free” site they can tell I have done this). If we are e-chatting, and they say something like, yes, it would be interesting to chat sometime or my favourite, “looking forward to chatting soon”, I wait to hear from them. If I don’t, delete, delete. I spend my day in front of a computer. I’m on the site to “meet” people not give my fingers more of a workout.

I think Terry is right, if they can’t keep up with us online, how will they ever walk beside us? Or, do we have “a woman’s expectation” on the timing? Maybe guys are just slower.

Ugh! This guy’s doing you a favor. You’re way out of his league, Susan.

I hate to say this, but maybe he just isn’t a good emailer. That is why I say, “ya gotta see the whites of their eyes!”

You should get yourself a soccer stud or at least have one chase ya around. Their good at that!

Morse code? And if that’s the case, good luck with that one! Sheesh. What a goober.

Can’t wait to see what “happens” with the other site!

Blecch. I guess it’s no surprise that no one has snatched up that gem of a fellow from the valley of bachelorhood. Maybe this is the set of hoops he uses to separate the interested from the desperate. In any case, best to move on.
