It’s rare for me to respond to a message from someone if all they say is “Hello”, “Hey”, “What’s Up?” etc. I was called out on this by a reader of the blog, and was told that because I preach that online dating should be more like real life, I should start responding to those messages because I would say “hello” back in real life.
Fair enough.
Today, I decided to give it a try… I got a message that said:
“hi”
“Hello.”
“fine n u”
I am sorry – but am I allowed to stop after that? Because clearly he can’t read. I assume he thought he read “How are you?” But.. his eyes played tricks on him. If that were a conversation in real-life, real-time.. he would have gotten a raised eyebrow for sure.
I’m walking away from this one… I just can’t do it.
