Thanks. I get the upshot of it. Don’t say you want to be friends with someone you met on a dating site because it’s too ambivalent and can be interpreted in a number of ways and that may not be what I want. Very helpful and I appreciate it. It’s when people start to infer and extrapolate what my motives must be that I’m not going to entertain.
It’s not helpful, and I came here specifically for help.
I’ve been online dating for two years now, getting tired of it, and this is the third time out of the dozens of people I’ve met that this has happened. I think it’s a weird thing, and I wonder what’s spurring it on. I am, I get it.
Perhaps it’s naive of me, but my motives are genuine and stated plainly and to infer that I must be collecting women and semi discarding them to keep around for sex is a wild assumption and a bit insulting. It’s unfortunate that some replies wish to go in that direction, but that’s when the thread starts to break down into projections that have no basis in the subject matter, so I excuse myself because I’ve got the information I came for. And then that turns into further projection about what my motives must be for signing out. Oh boy. But the thread has been helpful for me, I appreciate it, and this time I am signing out, lol. Thank you. 🙂
