I'm Picky

A man IM'd me today and it seems obvious to me that this dude is desperately looking for "love". I respond to IMs with extreme caution, or I just don't respond at all. I first note the users nickname, because I won't respond to nicks like "iwantokillyou666" or "cheapsex4u". This guy had a profile on Yahoo! that I observed before determining I could probably chat a bit before Katie and I left for the park to do our Bible study.

His IM nick indicated he was a military man, and on his profile he said "I love church!" and "I need to find a cool chick!" Well, I'm not a "chick", (although I am "cool"! LOL) but the "I love church!" part intrigued me so I answered his IM. The following was edited only for continuity and his nick was changed for obvious reasons.

It became obvious rather quickly that if this person is lookin' for love, he has not found it in me!

* * NOT COMPATIBLE * * AT ALL! **

For the following reasons:

1. Poor grammer/punctuation and spelling. I can deal with typos while IMing, but not this much. Yes, I have, even through this short conversation, a concern about the level of intelligence of this person.
2. His profile says he "needs" a "cool chick". Needs? What does that mean?
3. By his fifth IM, he was already on the "single" thing. I don't know, that just seems like a fast leap, and told me immediately that his purpose in life is finding that "cool chick" he needs, and ASAP!
   
4. He wasted no time asking me what I like in a man, and more than once. Maybe I like one that doesn't move this fast!
   
5. The fact that he was surprised that I have no kids as a single woman bugged me. THAT is the way it is supposed to be!
   
6. He claimed to be a Christian, so I asked a "test question"..."How long have you been a Christian?". He answered "since I was born". I say "errrrrr, wrong answer!"
7. He doesn't read the Bible and wants me to "lead him to it". Ummmm, nooooo...the man is to be the spiritual leader!

Yep, like I told him when he asked "whyyou not married all this while ?", I'm picky!
