Sitting at Panera doing my FF draft.Cute chick is sitting near me at another table. She smiles, I smile back. I ask her something stupid to strike up a conversation. We talk for about 10 minutes before "her husband" comes up.She still keeps glancing over here occasionally, which makes this even less amusing to me.

I'm still trying to get the hang of this. It's weird how much the speed of moving off site varies depending on the girl. I've been messaging with the nurse for a week with no luck getting her to commit to a meeting.
Today I send a message to this chick and within minutes she's offering her phone number.

I had no idea on the song, but I do have access to google. Message string:
Possibly coming on too strong, but she sounded very interested. So the shot needed taking.
I was laughing for awhile on this one. Unreal coincidence. F'n Nickelback.

Good, that makes me feel better. Perhaps you can confirm for me that Nickleback and Daughtry are actually two different bands.

oh yeah...
as far as e-harmony's questions... I think I want to send these 2:
1. Describe an interest you have that you would truly hope your partner could share with you.
2. What is the one dream for your life you most look forward to having come true?
they sound good...
for the third one I'm thinking one of these:
Looking back on your life, of what are you most proud?
How big is your extended family? What are the holidays like for you and your family? (this was an issue with my ex, actually)
What do you most like to do on a day off?
so I'm thinking one of those...
what do you guys think??? Most of these questions are super super serious...

The second one is good. The first one is good only if her profile doesn't already make that clear (i.e. if her profile is all about, for instance, video games
, why ask her about an interest she'd like to share?). I like the one about what you're most proud of in your life.

now that you say that... I'm sure her answer to 1 would be something about God... so it really doesn't make sense to ask that as I, essentially know the answer...so 2, 3, & 4? that makes sense to me...:mulls it over for a minute:The second one is good.

OK, just for larry I'm going to give courtesy replies a shot. I definitely have the time, I've just been worried about the "can't take no for an answer" people.To avoid any hint of mixed messages, I'm going with this...
This was also inspired by a nice one I got from a cute chick on yahoo today...
I think her reply was longer than my initial message, and she's not interested. Sweet girl. Seems like she'd make her profile unsearchable though if it was serious with the guy.

I would agree here.But hey why not have some fun. Send her a message that says RGL,Thank you for your wishes. I hope you have luck on here too. A good tip for you though would be to make these blow off emails a bit firmer. Otherwise your inbox is going to be full and you will get guys replying and continuing to try to talk to you. Next come the pedophile and stalker jokes, and next thing you know you have been Woz'd. Cheers,Alias

My POF tank is drying up, starting to realize there are A LOT of scammers out there, I think I have identified about 8 or so in less then a week. The reason I know they are scammers is they reply with their email address right away and format it in such a way that it would not get blocked (even though POF does not block email addresses). I still have 1 connection alive that I am interested in, probably had 3-4 others that I have fizzled on. Meaning I sent them an email, got a reply even chatted with some and then realized I did not want to pursue. The one I am still interested in had friends in from out of town last weekend and said she could meet up in a couple of days. I just noticed my yahoo profile was set to Not Searchable, not sure how that happened, so I opened that up. eHarmony is just going at a snails pace - the 1 hot chick I found through it finally closed the match after I sent her a nudge (which you can do after 7 days of inactivity on their part) - her reason was that she found someone else.

Hot blonde chick just e-mailed me back. Here's the text of it (w. my initial email included):
Hey -
Did you know you're on 90 people's favorites list? That's pretty impressive! I just signed up myself, so, while growing expontially, mine is quite a bit less. Let me check it real quick... hmmm, still 0. Should start climbing any minute now... any... minute...
...
...
Still 0. Dammit. I guess that's only fitting for someone sitting here emailing someone on an i-dating site on Saturday night. Yup, I'm pretty cool alright. Might have something to do with that favorites meter begin stuck on 0.
Seriously though, I know what you mean about working hard and playing hard. I'm not in every Saturday night but sometimes you just gotta recharge the battery. I'm starting my 3rd year of law school in a couple days so I called it an early night. So, you told me to ask, so what do you do when you're playing hard and working hard?
Anyway, 90 is impressive. Hopefully, I stand out from the other 90 carbon copy boring emails you've gotten and I catch your interest and my favorite count might even change to 1. I promise that if we get that far, we won't go to a movie on our first date.
Take care,
Mike
Hello,
I didn't know I was on 90 peoples favorites. I have had lots of emails but I don't think I have responded back to more than 5 or 6 of them. So that's interesting. I see that you are up to 2 favorites today, good work
As far as working hard goes I like to have my life in order, get things done that need to be done and be stable as far as my finances go (which isn't far being a college student). Playing hard means going out with friends and having a great time and playing softball and when my finances allow I love to travel. There's also a middle ground between serious and crazy that I often find myself at that involves just hanging out with a friend, watching movies, reading etc. Law school is pretty impressive, how did you find yourself doing that? What do you like to do? Anything else you find yourself burning to ask me just send another email my way.
Emily
Nothing really struck me in the e-mail, but she could just be the sort of down-to-earth boring girl which for whatever reason I really dig. I don't know if I want to play up the shtick like we did in the first e-mail. Thoughts? Offers of actual texts? I'm open here - she's cute.

woz - your initial email still sounds pretty negative and repetitive and a bit long, she did bite but still room for improvement. You do not have to play up subsequent emails, she took your bait, no reason to keep dumping chum in the water.
And when someone adds you as a favorite (no matter how hideous), just accept it, there was an option to remove myself from their favorites which I did because this woman was scary looking but I should have just left it there.

Woz - Here my advice -
Play up the baseball/softball angle. That's huge for you. Mention that you play and coach.
Downplay the law school thing - do a little aww schucks - it's not that great, routine. Ask her what she's studying/ if she know what she wants to do. It's important to downplay to balance out the talking about yourself regarding baseball.
Ask her where she goes out. Ask her where she's travelled and where she'd like to travel.
