Tonight, I got a message from a guy on OKC. It was all totally grammatically incorrect, but the English translation was basically he thought I was cute, wanted to talk, and he had just come home from a tour in Afghanistan a few days ago, so his profile was lacking.
So, I responded that I was doing well, getting ready for vacation, welcomed him home, and asked if he was glad to be home.
He responded that he was really glad. Period. That was it.
I waited a while, decided I'd just let it go, then, decided it would be rude not to respond. So, then I asked what he planed to do now that he's back.
Relax. As much as possible. That was his response.
How am I supposed to respond to that? Oh, well, that's nice? Do guys not know that you have to give the other person something to go on?
I mean, it would be one thing if I had contacted him first, and he was just responding to be polite, but, no, he started it! So, why did he act like it was a burden, and a boring one, to talk to me?
If you want to talk to me, fine. If you don't, then don't start a conversation. I'm not going to chase someone, or beg them to talk to me. I want a relationship, but I'm not desperate. I've got too much pride for that.
