"ANNOYED"(my most passionate work yet...)
Okay, let me tell you something. And men of the world--listen up. I am not one to be dismissed/brushed off/or trifled with. Do you know who I am?! I am Laura! Hear me roar! And then see me tackle you! I am getting just a tad bit ticked off at the fellas online.
If I go out of my way to send you a little message (which it will be --a bona fide message, maybe just short, but NOT A FLIRT), and I send you one of these, you darn well better respond. Even if you don't like what you see, or you're intimidated, or whatever---it's only common courtesy to respond. If a dude who's 65 with granddaughters my age sends me a message (not a flirt) telling me he's interested in me, I at least take the time to kindly tell him that he's not on my radar. But I don't just throw his message in the recycle bin. He took the time to actually write a message. He should be rewarded for that! See? See what a generous, kindly heart I have? Call me the patron saint of pathetic men, and the avenger of jerky idiots.
Case in point: A man that I've kind of chatted with consistently since I got on here asked me out last week. At the very end of our conversation, as I was saying Adios, he throws in, "Would you like to have dinner sometime?" I said, "Sure! Let me give you my information," and he said he'd call. So....it's been a week now. 7 days. Um...hello? You don't just throw out an open ended invitation like that and then disappear.
So I just sent him this message (with the subject line: "Ahem")
"Hey there. So...when you asked me if I'd like to have dinner...did you mean TOGETHER? because yes, i'd like to have dinner. in fact, I have dinner every night. :) i assume you were asking me out? nerd! where'd you go?" I refrained myself from writing "chicken" at the end of it. I was nice and playful, but hope I got my point across.
Not one to be trifled with boys! Good thing I'm more interested in exploiting this cyber dating world than being on here for the sole purpose of finding my mate (which, who knows?--may happen), but I hope the girls who are really truly investing themselves in this aren't getting the same treatment. What am I talking about? Of course they are. Tut tut. -10 points for the "do you wanna have dinner" boy.
There. I got it out of my system. Stay tuned...
