That is seriously what my last online dating email started as. Maybe I am being way to picky, but just starting an email like this makes me queasy. I tried to look past the intro, I really did and some might argue I am looking for things to dislike about these guys but really, could you ever waking up day after day to a man that’s like “Greetings and salutations this fine morning honey!” I mean come on, the greetings is one thing-but once you have already greeted me and then felt the need to salutate me, I have fully lost interest in the contents of your email! Slim pickens I tell you…
The email prior that the guy felt the need to express to me that I “be cute” His email read the following, Hi, I’m illiterate… and “I liked you profile and just wanted to email you and say YOU BE CUTE.” Yeah, well-you be rejected, dorkous.
I am really trying to be less judgmental and more open-minded but I vow not to lower my standards to the point where I’m dating a guy that uses the word salutations and thinks I be cute. I’m officially adding those two to the list of no deal guys. Along with, shirtless profile pic guy, multiple winker guy and ex frat boy beer bong picture guy.
Lesson learned: Whatever you say in the subject line of your email is a pretty good indicator of your future with someone from a dating website. That and the word salutations should never ever be used, with the exception of maybe the subject line of your cover letter and even that’s pushing it!
Yeah, he probably winks in real life and gives the thumbs up sign a lot. But it could be worse. He could have said, "abso-freakin-lutely" or "ALrighty then".
ReplyDeleteGlad you're bein' choosey.
Give the guy a break! I think it shows a certain literary aptitude...didn't he get that from Charlotte's Web? You bein 2 pikky! This guy not only sounds HUMBLE, but I'm guessing you could wake up to "T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C" (is that how you spell it?) written across your pillow every morning. Doesn't that sound enticing?
