This is not a dating site!

Ok, this has happened to me twice recently. Guys have tried to schmooze me via PM to go on a date with them. These are men I've never met or even saw on the forum before. Do I have "date me" written across my forehead or something? Little to they know, I'm far from being easy. It just ain't gonna happen, buddy. Uh un. Not from me... no way... no how.

Has anyone ever tried to pick you up through a PM?

    Umm...

    I know I gave you a compliment on one of your other posts...

    But I didn't PM you, Ms. Christie...about a date or nothing like that...

    I have a girlfriend but if a woman is nice looking, I give credit where it's due...

    And you are a nice looking young lady...

      No, Pavon,

      Your compliment was totally appropriate. More guys should be like you. You know how to make a lady blush. You don't hound her about going out with you then start stalking her on the internet. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm sure lots of women appreciate your debonair personality.

    Sadly, I can honestly say that nobody has ever
    tried to pick me up via PM here on the board.

    But if you want Christie, I can pound the cheeky
    snot-noses that are hounding you.

    I've actually had a couple "friendly" PM's from a few of the ladies here before...

    ... and in my case I'd like to fully ENCOURAGE THIS BEHAVIOR FURTHER.

    However, any dates WILL require a note from my wife...

    ; )

    Seriously though, Christie. I completely understand your concerns. Somebody cyberstalking you is CREEPY and extremely uncool.

          It's okay Tommy - It isn't discrimination - just personal tastes. After all, the Irish are are a bawdy bunch and she is probably just scared you are too much man for one woman.

          I, on the other hand, am not Timid, Tommy - and you know how I feel about guys with outrageously optimized cerebral cortexs. However - also quite properly, I would never discuss it with a handsome, randy fellow who happens to be wildly in love with someone else. Sigh.

          Uh....feel better?

          I've been approached but it doesn't happen often -- more often told where to go than asked to accompany me there. More often it's been just a bit of harmless and light flirting between valid tomes of business or information. Healthy, harmless, and a tad bit of fun.
          Not too much of a worry. Can anyone say this is the only place they have found a few perverts lurking? Just tell them you find it insulting and not to do it again and usually they back off right away. If they don't - Admin will help stop the situation.

      Whew, Shay, I'm glad someone else feels my pain. Actually. one of those sickos who I constantly ignore has just sent me an IM. I've blocked his name but periodically, he still pops up begging me to talk to him. Yuck! Can't the guy take a hint? I've told him many, many times before not to contact me. Does anyone know how I can delete him from Yahoo IM and Facebook... for good? I mean, talk about desperation. Or is it... just persistence?

      What do you think?

        What's scary, someone else tried that again on Messenger---I closed the window and blocked him. It's a lot more prevalent than I want to think about. It's a sorry comment about men in America.

    I have never been hunted through PM, but when I was on college I once received a text message with "I love you" so I replied, thinking it might be some girl form our group. After a month it appeared that the author of was gay.. form our group. I felt like an idiot.
    And I'm no gay..

    I get them on Yahoo IM once in a while - but mostly get spam from girls looking for men. Kathy looks like a male name to some non-English speakers, I guess. :confused:
