Hate canned emails more than anything. Best online dates have resulted from real emails as well. Follow your blog and think it's hilarious.

Fellow blogger here who also dabbles in the online thing - and I've gotten a few of these from time to time - I live in Georgia and a guy contacted me from Illinois...really?? Anyway, my guess, when someone contacts me who lives further than 100-150 miles from me, I think that somehow you were picked for his daily five or recommended by eharmony/match/whatever. he probably didn't even notice that you live in Charlotte. One thing I'll say about his email though - if it were being sent to me, nothing about that email makes me feel like he's interested in ME (you, obviously) - he basically rewrites what's already in his profile and didn't take the time to look at your profile and pick out talking points/things that you're both interested in/why he's drawn to you. It seems like a canned email that he probably sends to 10 girls a day that only talks himself up. The best online experiences I've had (i.e. actual dates that turned into more than one meet up) were started by guys who were clever and picked out something from my profile that they were drawn to. Example: I love to sing, so one guy said he'd bet he could beat me in a karaoke contest. <br /><br />My advice: you could send him a nice email saying something to the effect of "not really looking for anything long distance at this point - thanks for the email, good luck." you can fluff it up a bit but that's probably the main point you should make if you're not interested in treking out to NOLA every few weeks. <br /><br />Good luck! And feel free to follow my blog if you like! www.blondehotmess.blogspot.com I write about more than the online dating thing but that's definitely been a common subject over the last few months. :)Hot Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425279946023891901noreply@blogger.com
