OK, I hadn't responded to Canada Guy's spammy email that I received last night/this morning. So, he just sent me an email through the dating website, wanting to know if I received his email, because he hasn't got a reply yet. I have to say, this expectation of an instant response skeeves me out just a little. (BTW, in our brief time of communicating, this is the 2nd time I've gotten an email because I haven't responded yet.)
I told a friend once, when giving her advice on her lovelife, that there is a fine line between romantic/charming/isn't that sweet? and creepy/stalkerish behavior. What do you think?
Or am I just being a socially inept clod, who really should have already responded?

NO, you are not a clod. THIS guy sounds like a socially inept "Why aren't you paying me enough attention" kind of weirdo. Distance yourself love... First spam, then pressure to respond to the spam.
ewww..
Ummm...nope. He's definitely on the wrong side of the socially inept line. Ick.
*smooches* to you though, even though boys are troublemakers.
Tell him when he sends you Ham you'll reply but as long as he sends you SPAM, you're just gonna keep making sandwiches.
I think your first impressions were right, you should cut this one loose.
You deserve the best! *smooch*
Well, I did go ahead and answer him. At first, I was just going to ignore the whole spam section of his email, but I just couldn't.
This is what I said to him: Regarding your comments regarding Incredimail. That sounded remarkably like a sales pitch. I don't think I will be downloading it, but thanks for the recommendation anyway.
And I didn't make mention of the fact that I hadn't responded any sooner.
I forgot to tell all of y'all one of the funniest things about this guy. As a lot of you know, I like to drink. He had asked the frequency of my drinking. I answered. His next email? "I hope you're not an alcoholic". LMAO. I think my friend Jeanette is right. I need to start spinning this guy some outrageous lies.
I wouldn't. I would just completely "lose" his email address. Don't want to incite a sociopath.
(Ok, that may be a bit far; but you can never be too cautious as far as spammers go.)
I usually know if there is a connection or not. If there is then I want to email right away. If not, I wouldn't waste my time with him.
No way trust your instincts! You are not cold and inept...look at all the hot women posting in your blog!! lol
I think you should give him another shot.
Why haven't you responded to me yet?
Hello? Are you ignoring me?
Umm, because I'm at work, and shouldn't even be checking my blog right now?
*squinty eyes* That's sarcasm, right?
You think you're better than me, don't you?
Can I have your email address? I have an exciting new offer I'd love to tell you about!
Dork!
*snort* Damn! you're fast! LMAO.
(I was SO kidding. Dump the loosah)
*snort* @ Stah.
No, drop him like a rock. Have you ever been to one of those "scam the scammer" sites, where people pick on Nigerian scammers, or the Powerbook sting? This guy acts like a scammer and I think it's not just a socially inept loser trying to force you to date him, I think it's a scammer trying to find a way to take advantage of you.
I could be wrong. But just in case, get rid of him.
Um...I tend to respond to most emails within 24 hours. Sometimes it takes longer with RL interferring and all. But...if you barely know someone, I figure you're allowed more time to respond. Especially if it's half spam half conversation.
And? I think he's a tad creepy.
umm. He is creepy. And what MM said.
Flush the twit.
What Nutty said.
You all know you're all very smaht, right? Funnily enough, he hasn't responded to my email. Of course, I have enough restraint (and lack of concern) to not email again, asking why he hasn't responded. I'm wondering if my reply took care of him. (He had been responding to my emails within 2 hours - again, creepy.)
I don't know if it was the "sales pitch" comment, or maybe it was the snarkiness when I answered a couple of his questions. He asked if I was a good kisser. My reply? As I've never kissed myself, I don't know.
Or maybe it was the "well, the ones I mentioned in the email when you asked this before" reply.
*shrugs*
Oh, well. No loss.
3 words.
Trust.Your.Gut.
That wasn't me!
Who's the anonymous person? *looks suspiciously at "anon"*
I'm not Creepy Guy!
Honest!
Uh, huh... if you're not creepy, then who are you?
*grin*
I'm Me!
How YOU doin'?
*smooch*
No, *I'm* me. You're you, but which you are you?
I came back here to find out who anonymous is. So? Who are you?
Well?
Well?
Hi Ahkie. I am so tired that I cannot really read. I came over here just to tell you how wonderful I think you are.
I'm me, You are you.
If you think about it you know who I am. *giggle*
Want a clue?
Yes, I need a clue, please?
And *smooch* to Monsty!
I'm trying to be all mysterious you know. Ask me a question that might help you figure out who I am.
A yes or no question please.
Oh, geez! I'm horrible at this!
OK...
Are you female?
No!
I'm a guy.
I think the roses might have been sent by Carey. Hence the C in C and S.
OK... so you're a guy...
Have you ever visited another blog of mine?
And I did think Carey for the C, but the S is what's throwing me.
I'm a guy.
Yes I have seen 1 of your other blog sites.
Does Carey's gf name start with S?
Or did Carey and Silverstar send you a joint gift?
OK... if you are who I think you are... your real name starts with S, and one of your screen names starts with C?
No.
My real name does not start with S.
And my screen name does not start with c.
Gosh i'm being a joker aren't I?
I've heard "buzz" is the word about town.
My real name starts with S and I'm not anonymous...lol. But I'm curious like everyone else as to who he is now.
I want to know too...
OK, I'm pretty sure I know who anonymous is, now. Just one more question before I say who I think you are.
Have you seen more than 2 of my blogs?
so many comments came to mind on that one, but none that I would post ;-)
I don't get it...
Are you confused yet?
You have had links to more than 2 blogs, so yes I have seen more than 2.
NO! I'm not a stalker.
And yes I think you know who I am.
Hi, deer.
