But a very dear friend of mine wrote this, which I'll present as an example of being a decent guy:
At the risk of looking like a stalker: We've exchanged e-mails, but I'm not sure you're noticing me. If you want to know more about me go to www.match.com and search for me under my matchname, <snip> "is this where all the <snip> hang out?". If that piques your interest read on, otherwise delete me, erm, this e-mail. I'm a professional. My resume can be found at <snip> and feel free to check up on my background, I would be flattered. I would write a long and sappy letter (and I did, check your regular mail box) trying to convey to you who I am, but e-mail's quicker, and I'm too old and tired to try to impress you. I'm smart, have less than 11 fingers and toes, and you're beautiful, and I would like to check to see if you have less than 11 toes. I'm not really too interested in how smart you are, really, that's the truth. Would you like to meet me? It doesn't matter where and we don't have to do anything, I would just like the chance to try to get to know you. If one of us doesn't like the other, well, them's the breaks. I shouldn't have to say that, and I feel stupid saying that. I would suggest coffee at a bookstore, dinner and a movie, or the laundrymat. My contact info is on my resume, but I'll make it convenient for you: <snip> If you feel shy, and I would understand, just send an e-mail with your phone number and I'll call you, or if you want to continue to exchange e-mails that is also fine. But my intention is not friendship, one can have too many friends I've found. I don't want to waste time, life's too short. I don't want to project myself as an insensitive butthole either, but hey, what can you do? If you want to be my friend, then just tell me you're not interested. TIA.
