    POF - Found a guy that was blue eyed red headed...pretty decent lookin. Clicked on him and started up a conversation. Yesterday was pretty slow so I chatted with him. Felt ok enough with giving him my number to text, the app was having fits..

    We texted some more and I got into bed, watched some tv, texted and kinda fell asleep on the guy, it was about 10:30
    My last message to him was about the show I was watching, followed by lol.
    This morning I wake up to:

    "I could always come over when the kids are asleep"
    "I'm tired of being alone...but whatever"
    "I just want to get to know you face to face"
    " R u ok"
    "Did I make you mad"
    "If you r not interested anymore, just let me know"
    "Good Morning" - timestamp on this was 4 something AM
    "I hope your ok"
    "I hope you have a good day"

    My picker is broken. :grumble:

    lol. WOW!

    Men do it too, I agree.

    I met a guy from EHarmony for 1 hour to have a drink.
    He gave me WAY too many compliments, like every 3rd sentence but I was trying to let it go.
    I decided i woudl see him again, but later in the evening when we were texting he was so overboard.
    Talking about how beautiful I was, how he wants to take me to mexico, how could I like him.
    It was utterly pathetic so the short is, I first told him to lay off the compliments, then I told him it wouldn't work.

    He harrassed me in texts for over an hour, then the next day. Saying he was flustered by me, that we were meant to be together, blah blah.

    It was sadly pathetic although entertaining.
    I'm afraid this one is going to do the blow up thing too.
    I know that I kind of feel bad for feeling that way, because in a relationship I want to be complimented, I want to be "doted" on, but dayum, not this early and not like this.
    I understand it's lonely and I thank my lucky stars I have my kids to distract me from that deep lonely alone feeling, but he'll be ok, and I'll just go back to not looking for a little bit. (Little bit take it for what it is :laugh: )

    I agree with you, but there is a time and place for compliments. When you get that many, it takes away from the appreciation/effectiveness of same. It just shows the insecurity which isn't cool. If it is that bad already, will they end up controlling? I'd rather be alone.

    Aww.....
    Why couldn't you have called me beautiful when I was awake?
    I could have talked for hours, if you would have just told me that!
    I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings?
    Was it something I said?
    Why aren't you responding?
    I knew you were just messing with my head!
    If you aren't interested why don't you just tell me!
    Now all my MFP friends are going to think I'm creepy!
    I hope you are ok, and your house didn't catch on fire, it was a total accident that the candle I was holding caught your cat's tail on fire. I mean he was hogging the window!

    :heart: YOU!!!!!!!!!

    YOu are awesome Puggy!:drinker: back at ya!

    OK, this guy might have gone a little too far with his texting. But, one thing I've realized is that women crave attention. It's better if the attention is coming from someone they like, but even if it's not, they usually like the attention. This guy might have taken it a step too far, but his mind was in the right place. I dated a woman who told me to text her late at night because she likes seeing that I texted her when she wakes up in the morning.

    @Nola I bet if I sent you that string of e-mails, you'd be all about it :laugh:

    I'd say this guy has a complete lack of control... I thought the unwritten rule of text is, you send one - you get one - you send one. If they don't respond you chalk it up to lack of interest or something happened, like falling asleep. But sending 8 unanswered texts is insane.

    I have no doubt that his intentions were probably good, but personally I guess I see the next step as having to tell him 1 knock that off, I don't like it, then he will be on the defensive to "please" me and to me that's not showing me who you really are.
    If he pulled that later down the road, I'd pull my hair out. There is a time to be uber sympathetic, but not like that.

    You are right, as a woman I do like some attention but I guess my attention is pretty spelled out when I'm in a relationship (which this is very far from) Flowers 3 times a year, birthday, anniversary, valentines day....tell me you love me every day, be respectful, and pick up after yourself/take care of yourself. LOL

    That's how I live too. When the person stops responding the conversation is over for whatever reason. The only time I would initiate again without feeling like a pest is if I come across something of interest that starts a new conversation, and that's usually only if we have an established relationship (gone on several dates, the person is a friend, etc.)

    Same here.

    And, lol about the flowers. I got them when I was married on my birthday, anniversary and Mother's Day. I've gotten them from various men since for different reasons: once to get out of the dog house, once on a first date, once on my bday, and surprisingly several men have sent or left bouquets at the house after being rejected (while the flowers and sentiment were beautiful, I've had to become creative with the reasons mommy has flowers).

    The only thing I have to say is assertiveness has gotten me everywhere. Attractive people have it coming at them non-stop and from all angles so when I meet someone, I don't wait 3-5 days to call. I call when I am not busy and think she isn't as well. If I wait another day to not seem *desperate*, it may be too late. I got game and a good mouthpiece so it's worked very well so far. My future ex-wife can attest to that. heh.

    Inappropriate but creative reasons to tell the kids you got flowers:
    "I slept with my boss for a raise but all I got were these lilies."
    "I told my boyfriend he wasn't getting anymore poontang if I didn't get some roses."
    "It's I'm-sorry-you-ruined-your-vagina-when-you-gave-birth day daisies from your father."
    "Ignore them, they're just from your real fa- the mailman..."

    Especially dem top tier women! Attention is coming at them from every which direction.

    In all seriousness, I agree 100% with your post. Nothing wrong with being assertive and even a bit overbearing at times.

    But overbearing to the point where you send 8 unanswered text messages and inquiring as to whether or not she's mad at you simply because she didn't respond at 4am?

    That's a step too far. I'd draw the line at 3-4 texts. I'd also make my texts be a little more normal. His texts (especially the first one) came off as a little creepy.

    Hahaha!!!!! Yeah, most of mine were lame "these are from grandma" or "a friend that knew mommy had a bad day". Funny thing is other than one of those rejections, none of the men got to ride the ride.....guess they thought the flowers might get them that second chance. Hahaha

    Yeah, that's not bad. I think I'd be okay with that, especially if there weren't all just "Hi" "Hey" "whats up" and variations of that. Actual conversation, sure.

    I honestly wouldn't think to much of it if his texts werent so creepy. I get 3 or 4 texts in a row from people (&guys) sometimes because they are contuning the conversation. If I fell asleep and had a few missed texts it wouldn't be a biggie to me. These texts reeked of desperation though especially the whole" I just don't want to be alone" hmmmm

    ad as we all know desperation is unattractive lol

    I don't know why your calling me out on MFP...

    I just wanted to love you.

    P.S. you looked beautiful when you were sleeping last night, I could have sat and watched forever. :drinker:

    Aww.....
    Why couldn't you have called me beautiful when I was awake?
    I could have talked for hours, if you would have just told me that!
    I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings?
    Was it something I said?
    Why aren't you responding?
    I knew you were just messing with my head!
    If you aren't interested why don't you just tell me!
    Now all my MFP friends are going to think I'm creepy!
    I hope you are ok, and your house didn't catch on fire, it was a total accident that the candle I was holding caught your cat's tail on fire. I mean he was hogging the window!

    :heart: YOU!!!!!!!!!

    YOu are awesome Puggy!:drinker: back at ya!

    My house was burning but not as much as my heart when you wouldn't respond to me. I don't mind the cat, I'll steal another one. I just hope you find it in your heart to give me another chance, if not I'll ask again in about 2-3 minutes to see if maybe you changed your mind from missing me for so long.
