manders_01 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have a profile up on a popular dating site that I haven't touched in three months. Yesterday I got a hit from this extremely handsome guy who said he wanted to say hi and tell me I'm HOTTTTT! I was shocked (and flattered). I think he meant to write this to another profile. I am not hot, I'm barely attractive. I feel like I'm Gwyneth Paltrow's character in Shallow Hal. I don't really know if I have a question to ask, I guess maybe I'm just really caught off guard. Anyone else have this happen, on a site or otherwise? Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Two possibilities:He's a good dude, and truly thinks you're really something; or,He sends out the same email to lots of women, in hopes of getting one or more to take the bait. If he's local to you, by all means, take a chance and meet him in a public place, like a coffee shop or something. Just be warned, that online dating, while now mainstream, still poses some hazards. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Author manders_01 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Just be warned, that online dating, while now mainstream, still poses some hazards. Thank you, I will be careful. I'm not new to online dating so I am always cautious of a meeting, whether it be because he's a possible rapist or a@#hole! Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 OK, good. I didn't know if you were new to this online dating thing or not, so I erred on the side of caution. FYI... I've got some limited experience with online dating, and while I've never met "the one" (whatever that means) I've certainly made some very good friends that I wouldn't otherwise have met.

JS17 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry to hijack your thread manders but I needed to tell slubber how pretty he looks today in his pink wings. P.S. I don't know about someone who would send an email only saying You're Hotttt Sounds kind of fishy Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry to hijack your thread manders but I needed to tell slubber how pretty he looks today in his pink wings. Why, thank you JS.

Author manders_01 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 P.S. I don't know about someone who would send an email only saying You're Hotttt Sounds kind of fishy It said more than that, it was just that part that threw me. Link to post Share on other sites
JS17 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It said more than that, it was just that part that threw me. Even still, I don't know, maybe I'm just a skeptic. I don't like it when people I don't know say I'm Hottttt Makes me feel like they're after one thing. However, I'm warped, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author manders_01 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Makes me feel like they're after one thing. I've not ruled that one thing out. That that is what he's after, not that I'm going for that. Link to post Share on other sites

RottenGazebo Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Why don't ya post your pic here? Maybe we can decide if you're hot or not. Link to post Share on other sites
clandestinidad Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've noticed that a lot of people send the same message to a number of people. You can usually tell b/c they are sooo general such as, youre hot (but dont describe anything in particular), we share a lot of interests (but dont list any of them), etc etc..... Be very careful. Many many people know how to make someone feel good to sucker them in. On the other hand....he might actually think you really ARE hot!! Everyone has different tastes!!!

Author manders_01 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think it was a mistake cause I got another message that was clearly meant for a guy. I think their routing was a little off for a few days. Link to post Share on other sites
Author manders_01 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Why don't ya post your pic here? Maybe we can decide if you're hot or not. That could be the scariest thing I've ever done. There are too many critical and sometimes mean people on here. Link to post Share on other sites
