Online dating... the *wink*
I signed up for Match last night (cemacmil inspired me!). I woke up with an e-mail that I chose to respond to and a wink. Um... what am I supposed to do to the wink?
I have to admit when I saw someone "winked" at me all I could picture was a pervy old man standing at the end of the bar winking at me or something. lol. I used to live in SF and that happened to me all the time by men 3x my age (what 80 yo men were doing at a bar I'll never know). This guy looks nice. I guess I e-mail him? I'm stuck on how to start the conversation. I've never done online dating before.
Re: Online dating... the *wink*
Good Luck, and kind of glad I am not starting this alone lol!
I have gotten a couple winks, but nothing that would interest me I don't think. The one guy is a volunteer firefighter and kind of cute, but lives 30 miles south or so. But if I did reply to a wink I would do the same - just respond via email with a simple open question.
I have never done this either - I got a couple emails, luckily I am learning to weed out, I am about to reply to a couple....scary.
If I'm positive I'm interested, I'll e-mail, but if I'm just sort of so-so on the guy, I'll wink back. I figure I'll take the passive approach and if he's assertive enough to email after getting a wink back, then I'll give him a shot. However, I'm a total hypocrite about this. If I wink at a guy and he winks back without emailing I'll write him off. I have no patience for wishy-washy or passive men.
