Hell to the No
Whoever you are, we must be long lost friends! Thank you for that piece, so very much from the depths of my heart.....as I have dealt with this -EXACT- SAME issue as a single girl. I have given my number to countless men only to receive a short, pathetic text asking me "if i want to hang out". Not one of them could spell either. I was never me, I was always just a "u". I became so turned off by this that now I will no longer bother with these men. It seems like most men in CA are stricken with narcissism anyways - this has a lot to do with the problem. They are the prize, not us, so texting is actually a big step for them. Like you, I am very old fashioned. I am warm person; I like to hear people when they talk to me and I want to look at them too. Oh and I once tried online dating and it turned out to be one big wink-a thon with endless e-mails from a bunch of socially awkward men.....none of which ever asked me out. I canceled my membership after a week.— January 14, 2010 10:39 p.m.
