Or I suppose I could lie and say I plied Fs, including x, with gifts, flowers, dinners and jewlry when it was not the case. And, believe me, I'm no [insert your ideal man/movie star/raconteur here].


I think I indicated quite strongly in my previous thread/posts that this is not the manner in which I would like to be "chased". I prefer consistent displays of simple affection and/or admiration and creative varieties of man-handling. Tell me my shoes are cute, text message me "Sweet Dreams", invite me on a bike ride, serenade me with Barry White, tell me a funny story, pick me up and throw me in the water, e-mail an erotic fantasy, kiss me on the forehead.

I don't care who does the chasing. In fact, my responding to an F I really like and not letting the line go slack can technically be classified as me chasing.


Right. I would think it was lame if I were to harden into a rigid position of "I won't chase boys." although I am stretching myself in that direction for obvious reasons. It might interest you to know that one of the guys who is tied for the #2 position in the race to be my next lover is a guy who I contacted first.

so not to burst your bubble, Mojo, but let's just say I highly doubt an unmarried 41 YO male with recent financial success who wants no kids but only after a month wants to just have fun in Mexico with an F he hardly knows doesn't have other irons in the fire and is not new at his online approach.


Well, I hope he does have other irons in the fire or at least considers himself perfectly capable of having other irons in the fire if he so desired because I sure do (although I do intend to remain sexually monogamous because that is my natural inclination). If and when he signals to me that he wishes to be exclusive it will become a matter of principle rather than intentions. Just as a matter of simple curiosity who would you have me dating and what would he be signaling? Do you really think it would be a wise move to hook up with a guy whose profile says "I don't play games." IMO, that's just a way of saying "I only play a very boring game that involves pillows, safety helmets and lots of nets."

Equinamity and Equality manifestations. I know I'm not typical of the guys who will actually pay for some F they don't even know but only met online to fly across the country to see them. I can go to Starbucks around the corner and find one in the flesh. Creeps me out.


Dang and here I was hoping you would invite me to visit : ) I suppose there are all sorts of bunkeys just like me in every Starbucks (sigh). To give my new prospective lover of whom I am feeling rather fond some credit, there is a glitch in the Match.com system which is sending potential profiles from my zip to his zip in error. Another guy from the same far away town as him contacted me too. He wasn't trolling for long distance hook-ups.
