I read an article on the home page of Yahoo the other day about dating errors that men make online. According to David Wygant, a dating coach and author who currently works with Yahoo personals has given us a top ten list. To view them please click on the link to your left. Below I have noted the top 5: 

1. Don’t ask her how much she weighs
2. Don’t email 7 times
3. Don’t ask her how many other dates she’s had
4. Don’t send nasty email
5. Don’t ask for sex

This guy emailed me online several times and I finally responded with one or two word answers because he wouldn’t take the hint the first few times I ignored his emails. I finally felt bad for him because he tried. I understand it takes courage to email someone who may not write back. After we exchanged several emails I thought I’d give him a chance and let him call me. He called me a few days later.  Within 3 minutes into our conversation he asked me how has my online dating experience has been. I immediately told him about the article I read and how this question should not be brought up in the first conversation. He was surprised to hear me say that. I even offered some advice letting him know that he shouldn’t ask that to anyone in the future. It’s almost like asking someone how many people have they slept with.  He ignored what I said and proceeded to say,” why not? So, how many dates have you been on?” I was shocked that he continued with questioning me about my dating history online. I almost directed him to this blog but didn’t want him to think he may end up on it. I refrained and said, “ Do you seriously care how many dates I’ve been on?”

Does he? Does anyone really care about past dating history when you’re trying to see if YOU are going to get to go out on a date with this person? Needless to say this guy wasn’t getting anywhere past this conversation! It seemed like he was more concerned about my dates then myself.
