The Weekly Twit (#1)


Welcome one and all to my first issue of...

(Overview)
I've come to the realization that through online dating I manage to have "conversations" with many twits. Why is the word "conversations" finding itself with those little bunny ear like quotation marks around them? Oh, you shall see my friends. I've taken the liberty of posting the "conversation" had with an individual from a site I'm on. So, for your enjoyment....

*THE WEEKLY TWIT*
~1st Eddition~

In this issue...
Horrific Emo-Sadness!
Words of Idiocy!
..and so much more!


Twit #1 writes...
Hello there :) how are you doing? oh not accepting anything this short ok umm.. how are you doing?

Response...
...well that's original

Twit...
so how are you doing?
Twit (2min later)...
what is it you want me to say?

Response...
I find it hard to believe someone is actually interested in someone
when they can think of nothing more to say other than "how are you
doing?"

Twit...
i am interested, but its just a way to start things off. you cant think everyone that just says hi is not interested in you, some guys are shy, some dont know what to say. i happen to be both those. so please bare with me. i am interested ro i wouldnt have wanted to say hi to you. you have to start off somewhere. not everyone same sweetie.
(side note) It's NEVER a good idea to use a pet name on someone who doesn't know you. It only sounds demeaning and will piss me off.
Twit (1min later)...
but at least we talking now ;)

Response...
And was that so hard? Honestly I'm not sure if you thought you
were being witty in that first message, but honestly it spoke
more towards being obnoxious. I don't much appreciate someone
taking light of what I requested on my page. It was obviously put
there for a reason and has pretty much been proven, for the most
part, to weed out those intentions aren't what I'm looking for.

In response to your notions of some people being "shy" or "don't
know what to say", I'm big on communication. I can understand
being shy, however, the high point of online dating is that you
can take as much time as you like to write that first message.
Not to mention that there are too many cut-and-paste emails on
here. Writing something specific about what you read in the
profile tells me that (a) You've actually done more than just
look at my photos and (b) Already found something that makes you
think we'd be a match as opposed to just an attempt at getting
laid.

Am I a bit jaded by dating, perhaps, but it only furthers my
reasons for having posted what I did for a reason. Making fun of
that is not just obnoxious, it's insulting.
(side note) This is me attempting to be nice and informative.

Twit...
cool, my name is tom, whats your name?
Twit (1min later)...
you want to get to know someone, ok, ask me things, answer my questions. thats a good way of comunicating.

Response...
I've never stated that I'd care to get to know you. Quite frankly,
at this point, I don't.

Twit...
you should try to, im a nice guy. i like to talk also, that hurt my feelings. im having a bad day. please dont be that way with me, i feel like crying now.
(At this point I was hoping to reference a photo so that you could grasp the emo-ness of the person with whom I was "conversing" with. However, the photos are technically property of the dating site and I have chosen to play nice and not violate their terms. So please, imagine yourself a grown man with emo hair, lightly done eye liner and a shot of him looking sad in a window with his shirt unbuttoned, exposing his ungodly hairy man/boy chest.)


Twit (2min later)...
please, be nice and freindly, its not often someone talks to me. you may not like me, but i still like you. i think you are a good person.

Response...
If people don't often talk to you, maybe you need to take a good,
hard look in the mirror and actually TRY to get it through your
thick skull of what it is you are doing wrong when someone lays it
out on the table for you (as I already have).

Twit...
why? what is wrong with me? mirror? are you saying im ugly? what are you saying?
Twit (>1min later)...
what did i do wrong? try to be nice to you and ask you how are you? what is wrong with that?

At this point I started to almost feel sorry for the guy. Was he truly that ignorant, or a devious attempt to get me to play along? I'll let you be the judge.
