Addendum to online dating rules...

I would just like to say...
If you are not interested in dating me after one date, that is fine. My world will not crumble, I will not be reduced to tears, and I will not stalk you and try to convince you that I am the love of your life. Quite frankly, if you don't think I am wonderful, you obviously aren't the guy for me. The guy for me will understand what a fabulous person I am and that I am a great catch. I am not being stuck-up, but Mr. Right should feel that way about me, and it will be more than mutual. And I am funny, smart and kind-hearted with great teeth, hair and nails.

If you are not interested in another date with me, don't tell me you will call. Don't say you had a great time and can't wait to do it again sometime. Don't ask me what my weekend looks like, what my favorite restaurant is or what I like doing on second dates. Maybe you are just trying to get ideas of what to so with some other online girl, but really, it is just giving me the wrong idea.

Feel free to thank me, say "it was nice meeting you" or even a simple "Good luck". If you are a spineless man who can't simply do that, then at least e-mail me the very next day to tell me you are in no way interested in me in any sort of romantic way. I have actually made 3 friends this way--one told me he felt no chemistry, and 2 I basically said the same. We were adults, and I enjoy having them for friends...And one even reads this blog and will attest to the fact, I won't freak out if you aren't interested and tell me. I will get upset if you lead to me to believe you are romantically attracted to me, and then never call or e-mail again, but that is totally different.

Ummmm...I guess that is all I have to say on this subject for now. I am sure more will come to me later...after some other dork-wad does something totally asinine. Probably tomorrow or this weekend.
