Yeah. Like carback said!

...and: When you write your follow-up email, the phrase "I hope lunch wasn't too painful for you ;-)" is not enticing.

A 10 minute riff on why we need to re-establish the gold standard as the basis of our currency is boring.

Your former step-son did not wreck your marriage. Telling me the same story three times does not make it so.

Checking to make sure I'm of Northern European descent first doesn't mean I'll be OK with your anti-Semitic or racist comments.

Don't tell me how the last three women done you wrong. It makes me not want to be #4 when you're out with #5.

If you don't want to see me again, or you don't want to keep the date you made with me, have the decency to say so. I'll get over it, and really, you can endure the momentary discomfort of seeing or hearing my response. I'll be polite. If you're not man enough to tell me directly, send an email. Good grief.

Similarly, if I say it's not working for me, please have the dignity to walk away. I will.

The above based on dates with a variety of guys I met on-line.
