ok peeps... what would you say??...

a man who has been emailing me from my city for almost 3 wks just asked me to go to Thailand with him...

The problem is that in the first email he asked me how serious was I about online dating and I sent a message bk stating I was serious about communication... no relating no dating... I was very straight and upfront...

He was doing some kind of maintenance shut down at his wk which he is the manager and apologised for taking so long to reply... I declared no problem there (I'm a quality and not quanity kinda gal so seriously was no prob for me)... just when you can yeah...

... the problem was this... every time he eventually responded to my emails he was a 1 or 2 sentence man... difficult to get to know a man like that, be it in 3wks or 3 yrs for that matter lol...
Now... just out of nowhere he asks me if I care to join him on a work trip to which I replied... nice offer but it would be like going with a stranger... I hadn't got to know him cos his emails were terribly short and sweet... not that I would accept this kind of offer after only just 3 wks mind you but the point is there was no quality communication in these emails that I feel made a connection with me so I then stated that I would leave it there and wished him luck in his search... to which he replied "so what are you saying? you don't want to chat anymore?"
OMG... what do you say to that without hurting his feelings... dunno doh

any suggestions how to in a nice way??... although I never see rejection as nice regardless of which end of it I'm at blues

thanking you in advance for your input hug bouquet

to me it seems he is applying some advices about attraction and dating.
personally i dislike those techniqes as those are typical to attract women in general.i think what one person needs is up to his/her personality then better for everybody to be himself and it helps to find somebody who really maches.
may be i got it wrong but i think he is doing that and i suggest you to find about those text which are accessable if you google.
best of luck with you nice ladyhug

i was reffering to those typical informations about dating and attraction tips,
i suggest to do a google search on "attraction tips"and you may compare it with his behavior ,you will find if he is playing those typical games.

strict: goodluck!


Well here it is... just sent him this message:

yes blank... nothing personal... it's just as i said in my previous emails... if no relating then I move forward... communication is huge with me... hard to know you when your emails say very little about who you are and what you're about... for me it's not about quantity but the quality of communication that matters the most... no offense intended... just speaking what's true for me... good luck and take care...

all I could do to not lead the man on and move on sad flower
like I said earlier, rejection is never easy doh sad flower

hey fairy wave teddybear always lovely to have your input sweetie hug

Yes I agree with you 150%... and to lead anyone on with dragging these situations out can only devastate them more... I did what was true for me so I wouldn't hurt him unnecessarily and intentionally sigh

I hope he takes it well and understands my position sad flower

I would not go with him. You did right by ending it. There was nothing there anyways. You "rejected" him properly. No worries.wave

hi MP! wave

It's a tricky bit. i myself am a 1 or 2 sentence kind of mail writer. I never write long mails. i like chats better for getting to know each other. More "real time". But my mails are well meant and sincere so i CAN'T say he was insincere about you and was probably just inviting you to the trip as an option. He might have felt a connection to maintain communication and invite you for some time together.

He was probably surprised when you blew him off with a goodluck. And since you didn't feel a connection at all, given his style doesn't work on you, so just say it like it is. Perhaps, tell him you feel it's too early to go hopping away on a trip with him and would rather know more about him prior to such activity.

marie its simple as you came to understand

i totally get it

i mean it doesnt matter his motives or if there even were any

communication is a measuring stick for you and has value

i am exactly the same and many a nice guy im sure i missed out on because i desired that type of connecting-that a man have that particular skill set.

IMs and letters were a must for medunno


eventually i found one.grin
