| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/25/2008 5:23:46 PM | I met a guy on this site and we chatted and he wants me to call within a certain timeframe tonight after his jogging. He said I can do it later and welcome but he after jogging walks in a nice park and it is so relaxing.
My POF search showed that he was on-line while he indicated his jogging routine time. I sent him e-mail "Are you jogging or on-line".?
I went back like 5 min later and it was oppened. I was ready to reply back in somewhat nassty way but my very recent e-mail was changed to unread.
Is there an option on POF to actually read an e-mail but change it to "unread"? I am asking about this site and not general e-mails.
I know some people leave their log in if they step out for a short period of time. But I am not sure how it showed me opened and after that suddenly unopened in terms of my very recent e-mail like 20-30 min ago. | |

If the guy tells you he's going jogging and he'll call you later, just leave it alone--don't check up on him, don't send him e-mails, don't create scenarios in your mind to make him dishonest.
People often appear to be online when they are not. And you can't unring a bell. | |

No, there isn't..could be you were mistaken about that particular email being read when instead it was another one on your sent list.

Why are you getting so bent out of shape? Even if he was online when he said he was going jogging, plans change sometimes, you don't know anything about the man yet. Relax!
If he doesn't answer the phone when you call and you see him online, THEN you can get nasty.. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 6:29:49 PM | | I don't think what you are describing is possible. Possibly in your "irritated" frame of mind, you made a mistake perhaps? Maybe he got a phone call from a relative or friend he had to take and got stuck on the phone or got home late from work/errands... could be any # of things. "Seems" to me you are already suspicious of him for some reason? | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 6:49:43 PM | Don't take this the wrong way but....you're sounding extremely stalkerish.
You've never even spoken to this guy on the phone and you're checking up on him already? Kind of scary to think what you would do after a phone call.
I'm thinking you need to take a few steps back....
One more thing, if he's specifying a time to call, I'd be real hesitant. Almost sounds like he's married or maybe a live in GF. Not that I'm condoning your actions but maybe your gut is trying to tell you something is off with this guy. | |

| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/25/2008 7:52:26 PM | As for the specific timeframe, it does not mean a thing. He may have something planned (jogging is better before the sun sets, and a shower after jogging is not unheard of) and he may have to go to bed early if he has to work (don't women WANT men with jobs?). He may have made himself the standard microwave dinner while online and at some point said "Call between 7:30pm and 9:30pm". That's a reasonable timeframe with a logical explanation.
As for the unread part, it could have something to do with buffering in the browser. I think I had something similar, not with mail but with the last forum post. Hit the refresh button to know for sure. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 7:58:23 PM | | You are jusst getting to know him give the guy a break. I go to class at different times and when i say call after so and so time its not because of some ulterior motive. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:02:21 PM | If he has a web enabled phone (iphone, HTC Touch, Blackberry, etc ...) he could check it while he's out. This is the 21st century after all.
Relax, OK?

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:33:53 PM | When I first came onto this site, a guy e-mailed me a few times then asked for my phone number, which I gave him. Soon after, I was on POF doing something, probably the forums as that's most of what I do here, and the guy texted me on my phone and asked if I could talk now. I said no because I was on my way out the door. I mean, I wasn't on my way out the door *that second*, but soon enough that I couldn't talk on the phone. So he sent me back a text that basically accused me of lying . . . I think it said something like, "Yeah right." So I texted back, "What?" and he said something similar.
He must have texted and e-mailed me ten more times before he got it that the conversation was over. Permanently. | |

You are insane. You don't even know this guy and you are acting like this? I hope he sees this lol.

I check my pof, my*space and yahoo mail on my phone all the time. I also sometimes leave my computer on if I head out and plan to be back home within a couple of hours. Everyone does this stuff. Obviously this chick has issues. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:43:12 PM | I say to not call or text me at 2pm because I am at the gym or running. Many times I do it early or late )or skip the work out complete ) So I might really be online or able to talk when usually I am not able to. I am not lying, only different things come up and change plans. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:01:56 PM | | Rent the movie Fatal Attraction It will calm you down. I just can't imagin what he is going to think after coming back from a jog. Finding a disturbing email and a forum post about this. Now I know why I frequent the forums instead of TV. There is a lot more amusement. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:06:27 PM | | I was laughing so hard I forgot to answer your post. I don’t think that once you open an email, you can make it look like it was never opened on POF. You also can’t delete any forum POST either. | |
|
| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/25/2008 9:07:38 PM | What are you doing checking up on him? That is kinda stalker like behaviour. There is no way to mark an e-mail as unread that I know of??
Have him call you when it is convenient.....who knows maybe something came up and he had a change of plans? Or he had a blow out on his tennyrunner or something like that. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:09:24 PM | hey hiheels...u are absolutely correct the forums are more entertaining than the TV! LOL
OP...ligthen up....my god, i can't imagine what kind of significant other you'll be if you're already accusatory, jealous, and stalking...lordy poor guy...i'd tell him to stop jogging and start RUNNING!!
as always, just my opinion | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:14:11 PM | I agree with Post 6 on this one.
Way too early for such preoccupations, if at all! | |

If I were that dude, receiving an email questioning my whereabouts by a lady I don't really know and then seeing that she was getting ready to send more nasty stuff my way... ALL your future emails would remain UNread... for good.
Life's too short to spend it with people who have controlling tendencies and behave in an obsessive manner.

Posted: 6/26/2008 2:25:44 AM | Whoa give the lady a break huh, She asked a question , she didn't need to be berated sheesh..If the OP had written her thread in a different matter you would all probably be like 'he's cheating, red flag' etc...
She asked a serious question about unread/read mails.. she didn't need to be told she's a stalker , insane,etc..
Any idea how some of you people affect others using the forums? Think about it!

Posted: 6/26/2008 2:44:37 AM | | Must have been some kind of bug in the system. It's not possible for someone to open their email on here...there put it back to unopened status. | |
|
| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/26/2008 2:52:33 AM | Kneehigh, she did give a crazy story. She must expect reponses. If she did not want she could have sent only:
Is there an option on POF to actually read an e-mail but change it to "unread"? I am asking about this site and not general e-mails.
Then no one would comment on her behavor | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 2:57:22 AM | | I think that if you're worried enough about something so petty, that it's time to step away from the computer and get a life. | |
|
| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/26/2008 3:01:41 AM | | Responses yeh, but to be called insane and a stalker? Its ok to put a point across but does it have to be so nasty? | |
|
| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/26/2008 5:04:38 AM | Gourmet Chef, how is VRO a biotch, when the guy she was talking to is acting exactly like the OP of this thread? WHEN he sees this thread, (and you can bet he will, on her profile) will he be a b@stard if he terminates his connection to her? There's no difference in the way that guy behaved and the way the OP is behaving.
And if you'd be pissed that someone you never met likes the forums better than talking to you, that's your problem. | |
|
| A quick question.....
Posted: 6/26/2008 6:04:30 AM | | hmm, sounds like you should take a step back and look into what you just said..there is noway he could change his email. and you do seem like a stalker | |
