men and the chase

So ladies, that's me. These posts stay a long time by as of this writing I am NOT dating any one. I am in only one serious relationship at a time. That's me.
And I'd like to hear if I'm doing this all wrong or right, thank you for reading

men and the chase
Posted:

I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
I see a profile and I respond to it, I initiate the conversation, maybe it is up to me to keep it going, but then ladies why are you here if not to take a chance, and write a few lines back and forth with a guy, who's just here for the same reason as you, according to your profile.
In this case she saw my profile and wrote to me first, I respond with:
----------------------------
"Hello (her name),
Thank you for writing. I'd like to learn more about you.
My two children are grown and out of the house. I've been single for just over three years. Some of my relationships were short, the last one was 7 months and ended in early April.
What other morsel of information would you like to know?
Tell me about you
O and Communication is VERY important to me too.
Communication is a two way street, each must be willing and able to open up and speak
and
Listen
B. David :)"
----------------------------
and she replies with:
"If you want to chat more email me back."
----------------------------
Did I say something that turned you off?
In this case I wrote her first, my second email asked some questions, not too personal, gave my answers to the same questions and I expected a small exchange of emails till one of us gave up our phone number and we began phone conversations, till we both felt comfortable enough to meet in a public place for coffee, or a drink (which I think is bad for a first date).
So this is the letter I was going to send, if you think is applies to you, then maybe it does, if not maybe it doesn't. Ladies, this is me, B. David:
----------------------------
SUBJ: I respect you
(her name),
I'm not into chasing you or playing games.
#1 I am a gentleman, not rude, nor easy and I'm not a child.
I saw you picture, read your profile and thought take a chance. I believe if I'm not willing to take a chance, I'll never meet the lady (notice, I didn't say girl) I'm looking for.
You put up a profile here on POF to meet people, to eventually meet that special someone. Maybe you're currently dating and haven’t decided, tell me so, don't lead me along, just say "I'm dating, give me 2 weeks to decide if this one is the one and I'll write back.” I can accept this.
I asked you some questions and didn't get an answer, maybe I'm a bit harsh, but did you read my e-mail?
I am interested in you, to know more, when I feel comfortable I'll give you my real email address and maybe my phone number too and you can call me, or give me yours for me to call you, if you like the guy to call first.
----------------------------
Well that's my opinion, I could be wrong, in which case I'll be single till I die :(

Then why is it when I drive the Black 2001 BMW 330Ci convertable, Girls look at me and if I'm driving the '88 GMC 1500 truck, not even a glance.
I really don't want to date a girl who looks at me in the BMW, I want a Lady who wants me for me.
Is there something wrong with me?

I guess I'm just happy to hear that I'm doing the right thing by being myself.
Glad to hear I don't need to be a jerk to get a lady to chat/write me.
Thanks

I would like to add, since my friend has blocked the "Forward Males" she has begun to see some nicer class of people.
So both the ladies and men, Keep trying, tell a little about yourself and ask a question.
We are here to meet someone who can make our lives more interesting and have fun with/not at their expence.

What does it take to get a great looking woman?
Posted:
1/22/2006 8:34:42 PM
CoverGirl you got the right answer.
And so does the post earlier by Cajun, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
OK, here is where I go wrong, I'm 6' 170 lbs. I am looking for a lady comparable/looks like we fit together; I would say about 5’3” to 6’, 110 to 150 lbs. I don’t want to date a lady bigger than me. Is this wrong?
I want a lady that I find attractive in looks and mind.
I want a lady that I can, and we can communicate.
I also want a “SINGLE LADY” I am a Single Gentleman.
Am I wrong, what should I do?

What makes a good introductory email: Male to Female
Posted:
1/22/2006 7:18:38 PM
I have seen the types of emails ladies receive on this site, only this site, since I have a friend on this site willing to show me her emails (ladies please confirm or denounce what I am saying). About 75% of the emails my lady friend receives are very forward, talking about what they expect for breakfast the next morning.
The emails I have written to meet ladies, start with communication and find out if we have any common interests, something to build on and out of 20 emails sent, I've received 2 replys. So the question is "What makes a good introductory email: Male to Female".
Should I be forward or nice, I am a gentleman looking for a lady.
