Winning Online Dating Emails I got this week...

So, I recently enlisted in online dating again.  I imagine it's kinda like enlisting in the army...necessary yet a brutal experience...with this positive attitude, I'm sure I'm going on a lot of dates...My new approach is to be super-selective (there will be no 100 men in 2 years this time...in fact there may be none, and I would still be happy).  I view online dating as a secondary mode of "putting myself out there..." I still meet plenty of "cool" (yet San-Francisco-flaky) men in real life....

For your pre-Thanksgiving entertainment, I wanted to include a couple of winning emails I have gotten from men already.  Just an indication that quantity definitely isn't quality....


Email #1:

hello doctor

Hello There

How are you doing? I would like to speak with you and I live in sunyvale(Bay Area/South Bay). Can you please email me at *****at gmail dot com . I am working as Program Director in South Bay.
Cheers

Really?  Is this a business proposal?  Do you know how to spell Sunnyvale?  

Email #2:

C'mon.  Please learn how to spell.  What a lazy email.

 

Email #3:

Mount tam is beautifu.... What other places do you to hike at?

Take the same advice as the other guys....

Email #4

Hello

Nice profile!. How are you ? Hope you had good weekend. Please write back if interested, Thanks. 

 

Poor grammar.  Probably a chain email...

 

Email #5

come dancing with me..

and I promise we will have fun...and then we will do a yoga class together and compare which one rejuvenates us more...or if all that sounds too much we could just hangout over tapas and sangria and talk about our next travel plans..we are both lovers of life...we respect the spirituality but despise the idiosyncrasies of what we were brought up with...I think we will get along well....:-).. 

 

 

The context is that this email was sent to me at 3AM on a weekday. My response: Are you serious?  I don't even know you!  This guy sounds a bit intense.

Sigh.  Now I remember why it's taken me so long to get back online.  Suffice to say, I'm not going on any dates soon, but I'm being adequately entertained (as are all my friends and all of you)...
