I "met" a guy online here in one of the chat rooms here at SexyAds, and we seemed to hit it off pretty well. He asked me if I'd like to chat on Yahoo, and, although I don't typically chat with men on Yahoo, I liked him well enough that I agreed to.
A digression...The reason why I don't typically chat with men on Yahoo is for various reasons:
1) I have given out my Yahoo ID and if/when I'm contacted, it has been so long since I've had any contact with the guy that I have NO clue who he is or why I gave him my Yahoo ID. He, of course, is supremely insulted that I don't automatically know him, even though we only exchanged one or two e-mails before exchanging Yahoo IDs.
2) I have chatted for well over an hour with some men, only to find out that we shared absolutely nothing in common. Maybe he was separated but not yet divorced...doesn't like animals...refuses to relocate...whatever. So instead of finding out these things beforehand via e-mail, he and I both have wasted our valuable time only to find out that we aren't compatible in the most basic of ways.
3) Some men only want cybersex.
So...despite my "rule" about not chatting on Yahoo, I broke the rule for this guy, and we ended up chatting until about 1 a.m. The conversation was great, the chemistry felt great, and we both seemed to really like each other. Before we signed off, he asked me if we could chat again, and I responded that I'd love to. Then he asked me for my phone number so that he could "call me later," and I eagerly gave it to him, thinking that we would continue our great conversations on the phone.
And what happened next? :::crickets chirping in the background:::
Not a damn thing, that's what. He never called, hasn't sent me an IM on Yahoo -- nothing. I feel as though I wasted valuable time and sleep talking to a guy who pulled the great "disappearing act" on me like so many others before.
So guess what? The Yahoo rule is now firmly back in place. I'm a single, employed, home-owning, pet-caretaking woman who doesn't have a lot of time to spare -- and especially not chatting on Yahoo with losers who end up disappearing into thin air.
Comments are welcome, but men -- before you say that women do it, too -- this rant is directed at people in general who do such things, but since I'm not into women, they never get the chance to do it to me, although I'm sure that they do it too. Rude behavior is rude behavior, and there's just no excuse for it, in my book.
Rant over, for now.
