I still have yet to receive any initial messages or replies to messages from any girls on dating websites, but I continue to receive a lot of messages from guys. Here is what I found in my inbox today…

Random Guy: every see that girl on the street that catches your eye and you need to get to know her… can it happen on the internet? i think it just did :)
Myself: eh…Sorry, I’m not into those corny kind of lines.

Random Guy: hey sexy lady how you doing tonight ? Up for a drink or smoke
Myself: Sorry, as I mentioned on my profile, I’m currently interested in dating someone female
Random Guy: Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t read that lol. Good luck
Myself: Yeah, you should read profiles before messaging people…You’ll find a better match. I actually wrote it three times. Thanks, good luck to you too
[I mean I know “guys only look at the pictures” and I don’t expect anyone to read every word, but come on, you have to at least skim the profile if you’re going to message someone!]

Random Guy: first let me start of by saying how incredible u look beautiful , i mean gorgeous! now this is not be the best opening liner, but i wanted to know if the idea of pursuing an interracial interaction something u would be interested in? specifically with a [RACE CENSORED] man?!
I may not be the best looking guy in the world, but if theres one thing i know how to do is have a good time! Ull feel really good after a night out with with me, promise ;)
Myself: Sorry, as I mentioned on my profile, I’m currently interested in dating someone female.
Random Guy: dont u want a guy on the side until u find what ur looking for! soldier have a reputation of getting the job done?!
Myself: I’ve spent [MY EXACT AGE CENSORED] years dating guys, I’m taking a break.
Random Guy: i wasnt talking about dating, lol! but okay, good luck to u!
[We exchange a few messages where I explain why I’m not interested in starting a sexual relationship with him and he continues to question me about if I’ve been with different races, or with someone who’s a “girl or female” –Because you know, they’re pretty different.]
Random Guy: u would actually be the first girl i have been with in like forever, lol!
[Was I supposed to take pity on him or something?]
Myself: But I won’t be. Sorry, I’m not interested.
Random Guy: ok, well theres nothing i could say to change ur mind! when u feel an itch, u can hit me up!! its all related though, even if ppl cant see it or feel it right away, its all related!
[Yeah, because I’m going to think of him after this conversation ends.]
