A Little Overbearing, Don't You Think?

I was about to begin a series of entries disecting the first date (which I'll do), but had to share this first. I received the following email and knew it was worth sharing with you. I read it to a friend of mine and her reaction had me cracking up. It's a bit long for an initial email...and the approach is, well, you can judge for yourself. Oh, I think the post script is my favorite part!

Here it is, in all its glory:

"LOVED the profile , but would love to get TO KNOW the woman behind all this, pics, words mean nothing ( everyone just has different looks/styles), it’s like a little commercial of yourself, so do your best lol, im not uased to meeting women this way I am a very confident friendly person most of all warm so people graviatate to men/women who are like that! I am a very settled, secure stable guy, got my SH1T together 100% and would like a dynamite woman to share some time with and grow from that point. I truly believe we should be best friends, laughter, love, joy and peace. That’s me in a nut shell, So if you’re romantic, open, at a good place in your life and have the time for someone awesome, want to be treated like a lady, not be cheated on (always hated that)are traditional, have strong family values, ethics/morals let’s talk….Chivalry my dear is NOT dead! Just looking for someone normal and genuine. BTW- you have an absolutely adorable smile and should NOT be single…
Write back, don’t over think this, happy New Year, you deserve the best “hint hint” LOL
Love to hear from you - NAME

PS most importantly no-one is perfect we all have flaws, looks wise and personality if you’re not so rigid in your approach to dating let’s see if we have some compatibility and magic, - what am I saying don’t dismiss me or this email so quickly………

FINAL THOUGH - AND NO I DID NOT CUT AND PASTE THIS TO EVERYONE ON POF, I CHOSE YOU… I LIKE YOU GIVE ME THE SAME COURTESY BACK!"

Take Away Lesson: Don't put so much pressure on someone when sending your first email. Keep it light...express interest (respectfully) and ask a question or two to demonstrate further interest.
