Mabe I am just old fashion, I wouldn't go out on a date on the first message, I want to at least take at least two weeks to talk to that person either by email or phone first and than meet in public, nowadays you can never be to careful, thats just my thoughts.

I would.

But my problem is, no one lives anywhere near me.

So far in the 5 months I have been here, there has only been one woman I talked to that even lived in my state.

I wouldn't feel right going out with a complete stranger...I like to talk for a little bit...by phone and email. Even on the first meeting, I would never be alone...always in a group setting.

I have once. Didn't really turn out so well. But, I don't regret taking the chance.

Most people that go on a first date are strangers to each other...it takes time to learn each other.

I would have to check their profile, and make inquiries if I have questions. I wanna at least have an idea of who the person is.

Other than that, I'd have to say I would

From my experience, those who ask in the first message also tend to be the ones who have nothing in their profile and aren't willing to tell anyone about themselves. So no, I wouldn't rush out to meet someone who asked in the first message.

on the first Message??

Those are a dime a dozen.
So, no.
Some people will date ANYbody.

If someone is asking for a date in the first email sent, how many others do you think he/she has asked out on a date as well, at the same time?

No. For all of the reasons already stated. And probably a few more.

As a rule, I would generally say "no" to that kind of thing.


Though, now that I think about it, that could be the wrong approach, as people generally tend to like me less the more they get to know me. laugh

I have many times. I prefer to talk on the phone first though. Anyone can say whatever they like on the internet. If you meet them first in a public setting you can assess them quickly. I just say for a quick drink-that way you aren't stuck with them if you're not
interested and I do it during the week, not on the weekend.

I don't have time for constant emailing back and forth and I've been disappointed in the past thinking I was really going to like someone and then find out they are nothing like they write. This way I avoid all of that.

I sold my car to a stranger last friday, he asked me out on a date and I said I would love too....

Im not sure how he feels about it now, having driven my car for a few days. LOL. He may be having second thoughts...frustrated
