Adventures in dating: The one where I get cursed out for doing something I thought was polite.

youngdl173: Hey how are you? Im david nice to meet you

Me: Hi David, thanks for your interest, but I'm not interested. Cheers.

youngdl173: A simple non response would have worked but f**k you to! Cheers*

Me: Wow, manners much. And here I was thinking I was being nice. Why so angry? What was it about that message that elicited such a response from you? Just because this isn't 'real life' doesn't mean you can go around saying those things.

Me: And it's "f**k you too." Idiot.

1) I wasn't interested because he didn't capitalise his name which is A PROPER NOUN AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAPITALIZED. Unless he's an an animal, which based on his response, kind of seems like he might be.

2) What's a simple non response? Ignoring him? Sorry, but that's not me. I hate being ignored and therefore will not ignore someone. There are, of course, exceptions.

3) Why so angry chum? Seriously? How on earth was that an insult?

4) This is a perfect example of people thinking they can say whatever they want because it's online and there's no one to hold them accountable. If a girl ignored him in a bar would he react the same way? (I slightly afraid now that I've thought about that.)

*I edited the curse words because no one really needs that up in their face.

Ch@rmingfrenchy1: Hey cutie :) :)

Ch@rmingfrenchy1: So

Me: So...thanks for the message, but I'm not interested.

Ch@rmingfrenchy1: Oh yeh just looked at your pix u an Arab?? And you like in burke lol sound like someone sounding discussed lol bye good luck.

Me: "Sound like someone sounding discussed"? Who exactly is talking about me? You didn't think to look at my picture before you messaged me? Also, what does me looking like an Arab have to do with anything?

Ch@rmingfrenchy1: Nothing not interested either go away

Me: Hhahahaha, oh good, you're mad because you're interested in me and I turned you down. Lovely behavior!

Me: Also, you're being a racist and that's super unattractive.

(I'm sure he would have written more angry messages, but I blocked him after my last one. He made my blood boil.)

1) I get really irked by guys who use "cutesy" nicknames right off the bat. I don't know about other girls, but to me it denotes a level of intimacy that isn't there and I'm not sure what they hope to achieve by doing so. Plus, cutie? Out of all the words you could possible use, you choose the one that suggests you'd like to treat me like a child or a small animal.
2) Guess I don't really need to say this, but punctuation helps so much. Why would I respond to someone when I have to spend extra time deciphering their messages? It's a waste of my time.
