Have you ever received a message from someone, not responded to that person, but that person decides to keep writing to you anyway? If this has happened to you, you've been struck by a Self-Messenger. A Self-Messenger is someone who will continue to message you, despite your non-response and progressive silence. His messages will begin to build until it becomes apparent that in his (or her) mind, he is growing a relationship with you. Observe:
First of all, if a guy is saying in his tagline how genuinely cool, sweet and funny he is, he's probably not. That is the sign of someone who might be desperate. Notice that I said the word might. In this case, he confirmed to me that he is desperate. He has exposed himself as a Self-Messenger. Beginning on January 24 through February 21, the man messaged me four times. Notice how his messages are progressively creepier. I have not responded once.
I thought that after not responding to the first or second messages, home skillet would get a clue. Clearly, he has not, as he now thinks we're on a level where he can send me "good morning" messages and blow me cyber kisses through POF mail. Bleh.
The bottom line is this: if you get struck by a self-messenger, you have three delightful options. The first option is to block him or her. The second option is to politely respond and tell the person that you are not interested. The third, and most fun option, is to sit back and let the psycho expose himself.
After all, isn't part of online dating enjoying the fun you can have along the way to meeting your match?
