"do u wan date"

[happycycling]

Here is an excerpt of a conversation I had tonight with a guy who's messaged me a few times, each time asking me if I want to date him and never giving me any reason why I would want to. Names have been omitted to protect the clueless.

Sorry, but if you want to have a conversation with someone that you want to date, something about using shorthand message tactics that really gets to me. The ONLY possible way that's justifiable is if he's on a cell phone, but even so, it's just irritating.

Oh, and yeah, should have something to talk about, you're right :P

I TRY HARDER NX TYM!

I got messaged by a total creepshow the other day, and then, I read this. And so, I just blasted off, and deleted my profile. Thank you thank you for not being scary, kay?

OK, so at the risk of sounding like one of the aforementioned creepers, I just wanted to say I love your LJ name. It made me smile.
