Dating in the year 2011 . .

Ok, so I've been out of the dating loop for almost six years.
I knew things would be a bit different this time around but, I wasn't prepared for what happened , , ,

I met a guy on another dating site, we chatted via e-mail for over a week and after many, many long converations we decided to meet for a drink.

His e-mails were witty, no misspelling (bonus!), intelligent and interesting. Once we started talking on the phone we would talk for hours.

Then last Friday - when we were supposed to meet for a drink - I got out of work much later than expected. (In my defense, I had warned him that sometimes my job kept me later than expected).

By the time I got out of work he had texted me multiple times and I noticed that each text was getting tenser and tenser. So rather than text him, I immediately called him to apologize for working late and let him know that I wasn't blowing him off.

So, we decided that we would post-pone the date: he was very tired from having gotten up early that morning, he'd eaten something since I'd been running so late, and the drive to meet
me was over 1 hour. I felt it would be best to talk the next day.

Very soon afterward, apparently he decided that he still wanted to meet me. He texted me but I live in an area that barely has any cell service. I didn't get his text for almost an hour.

But, again he'd sent multiple texts!!! And again the wording conveyed that he was getting angry. I called him and told him that he needed to bring it down a notch, get some sleep and we'd talk tomorrow.


Fast forward to Saturday morning. He sent me a text around 7am
it was a NUDE picture of himself. He actually sent me 2 pictures of himself. I was completely shocked.
I immediately deleted them.

A while later he texted me and asked if I'd gotten my good morning text from him. I told him they had been deleted. I also asked what possessed him to send me those pics. He immediately realized he'd completely burned all his bridges with me. I asked that he not contact me anymore. Luckily, he hasn't tried to contact me again.

But, should I expect more of this in this high-tech age of dating? I'm really bummed cause I'm a really fun, honest person with alot to offer and he really soured me on the scene.
