What not to do (X of Y)
Sometimes, I think I've seen it all. The guys who respond to all the w4m posts on CL in one mass mailing, with recipients visible, for example, always amuse me, but haven't surprised me in a long time.
Recently, though, I got two new ways to be wacky:
1. A guy sent me three emails in the evening, the first to introduce himself to me, the second to reiterate how perfect we are for each other, and the third to castigate me for not responding yet and to encourage me to respond ASAP. I hadn't read my email that evening, and was thus impressed to discover, when I did get around to it, that he'd sent three followups the next morning, first to castigate me further, second to remind me again that we're perfect for each other, and the third to tell me I'd be missing out if I didn't write him back.
Now, I'd never say that someone consents to be stalked, but I'm sure that if I responded to this guy, I'd be asking for it. Yuck.
2. A chain letter. On the topic of determining your value as a person by how many of your friends respond to your sending it to them.
Maybe he just needs more friends.

Good grief... If Guy Number One is that impatient in his correspondence, what does that suggest about his behaviour in the boudoir?

Nothing good, I'm sure!
