Online dating ?

I've been OKcupid for awhile now and I'm finding more and more that I'll message back and forth with a guy a couple of times, they'll ask me out but then I realize they have yet to even tell me what their name is. 

I always put my name in the message, but it seems guys rarely do. Does this happen for anyone else? Generally it puts me on the offensive and I don't end up going out with them, but I wonder if I'm just being over sensitive and it's just a common thing for guys to overlook.

Re: Online dating ?

  • Hmm. I find that pretty strange. Especially after several messages, and it's happened to you more than once or twice?

    99% of the guys who messaged me on OkCupid signed their very first message with their first name.

  • Honestly I'm guessing they just haven't noticed they haven't given their name. I wouldn't read to much into it unless you ask and they refuse. I'd write responses and sometimes forget to "sign," but assume I did and then they'd eventually ask.

    Just ask them and go from there! 

  • I'm the opposite. Usually guys tell me their names early on, I usually wait to see how long it takes them to realize I've never told them what mine is haha.
  • Most guys usually sign their name on the first email they send.  If they don't, I'll just throw mine out there and ask for theirs.  I'll say something like.....I'm Turtle btw, and you are?

  • I had mixed experiences.  Most would give me their name within the first few messages, if not the first.  With S, however, I didn't get his name until he wanted to start texting, and then we both realized we'd never given each other our names.  Take that for what it's worth.
  • I've always gotten names in the first email or two, but I agree - don't read into it.  Just ask! 
  • Weird. Every guy that's emailed me has told me his name in the first email... Usually in the signature.
