That's called a "stupid man". They flock towards enticing and beautiful women - then lose it. Sad. Their behavior stems from the social characteristics that we have now created for ourselves within society due to a fast paced lifestyle and instant communication. Instant gratification is taking over.</p> Interesting. That’s called a “stupid man”. They flock towards enticing and beautiful women – then lose it. Sad.

I once got dumped by someone I wasn't dating. We had made out a few times when he was separated from his wife who had been cheating on him for months...we were basically rebounding together...and I kept trying to get away from him to no avail...and then he called me out of the blue and "dumped me"...yet I had no idea we were dating, and actually thought things were over. It was ridiculous.</p> I never comment here…but in this case I have to. I once got dumped by someone I wasn’t dating.

I don't know that two quick emails obligate her to explain anything to this joker. In the online dating world, drifting away is perfectly acceptable. Conversations end. Normal people get it. Abnormal people break up with you.....and then they stalk you. ;-)</p> I respectfully disagree that Fish is at fault here.

After a few of them, I told him I was busy but that I wished him good luck in dating. So he wrote back and said, “We are not a match. I do not like your new photo at all.”

Like with your guy, he clearly was trying to save face by insulting me.

However, Fish, I do think you were partially at fault here by not telilng the guy you weren’t interested. After you’d had a few back-and-forths, you could have let him know, so that he would stop e-mailing you…maybe?

I guess after 2 emails you don’t necessarily owe him much.

I see nothing wrong with a guy asking you to IM, but might as well use the phone. IM takes forever.
