Pet Peeve w/ online dating.

Though I have pulled myself off of all of the dating sites, due to WAY, WAY to many creeps, my problem was that no one believed me when I told them my name. Everyone thought that I made it up "just to be careful." I can't tell you how many times I have had to convince someone that my name really is Cinnamon, or in real life whip out my ID to prove it.
I went to school with a girl named Cinnamon. She had a sister named Cherry, too. True story.0 -
Cute, very cute................but not original.......lol
:-( That wasn't the first time you've heard that???

Wow, very cool. Girl who ran our milk/meat group back when I lived in VA was named Cinnamon.
One of the ladies I've worked with had to stop online dating b/c her name was Kandi.0 -
As long as it's Wheel of Fortune and not a game of Hangman.I will sometimes use my first initial to start with. Once I give you my first name its cause I am comfortable enough in talking to you..
I can see a "Wheel of Fortune" scenario taking shape here. You start by signing off "K," later it evolves to KB, then KBRY, later he wins a free vowel, chooses "I", and guesses correctly that your name is KIMBERLY. At that point you will go out with him.

Didn't you know? Cinnamon is dangerous, you shouldn't put it in your mouth! People have died because of Cinnamon! It seems all sweet and innocent but it has many fooled.
Oh wait, that pretty girl named Cinnamon, oh yeah nevermind she's a doll!
Sorry it was just too tempting, I probably don't win any creativity points.0 -
I usually don't give my full first name but will reply with "Shel". I do go by Shel so it works. I've had ONE instance where I told a guy my first name only and he was able to track me down because it's unique. If I had a name like Jennifer or Samantha... yeah, I'd give it out.
Shel is absolutely fine. It's just nice when I respond to their message that I know who to address to make it sound nicer and more formal.
Oh, I see the issue better now. Since I use Mellie in my username, which is a derivation of my full name that some people call me, I didn't really get the problem with not giving my real full name... but I'm not using a name like Lookin4Luv or something else like others.0 -

I'd call you Cinnamoroll, buy you a hat with two gigantic white ears, and then we would head-bang at some rock club night:Though I have pulled myself off of all of the dating sites, due to WAY, WAY to many creeps, my problem was that no one believed me when I told them my name.

When I was on the dating sites I always put my NAME in my profile. I would rarely put in the first few messages so if somoene "used" my name I knew they read my profile.0
