I heard about a guy who met a woman briefly one evening; e-mail addresses
were exchanged. He was looking for a partner, but not in a terribly
effective way. Early in the e-mail exchange (or late, depending on how you
look at it!), the woman asked him the simple question, "What is your name?"
because he hadn't given it when they met, and *still* hadn't given it.
Instead of an, "Oops, sorry, it's John" or whatever, he wrote something like
2 screens of tirade about how it was this asking about *petty* details that
was going to leave her partner-less, that he didn't have *time* for that
sort of trivia. (But apparently he had time to write 2 screens worth of
lambasting.) That was pretty much the end of it.
As far as RL stuff goes, the same source told me about being hit upon by the
same guy in different incidents 6 months apart. Both times his pick-up line
was, "Wanna go out for some coffee?" (So she referred to him as "Mr.
Coffee" when relating the tale.) The second time he tried this on her, it
was at a party at her boyfriend's house, and he had no memory of the first
incident. *Not* the way to impress that particular person. :P
