Dating DNA

Dating DNA is another of several online dating sites. This one is free and matches you up with others based on your responses to personality and preference questions. I signed up after I was sent an invite through my Facebook page. I uploaded a picture, answered all of the site’s questions, and then completely forgot about the site.

One day I logged into my Myspace account and noticed I had a new message. The subject line was “Dating DNA” and the message said,

Hi, I saw you off of Dating DNA. You may check that message I left ya…

I logged into my Dating DNA account, after struggling to remember my username and password, and read his message. It said something about the meaning of my name and him having a dream about a girl named Kira. I thought it was a bit weird but not completely creepy. At any rate, I didn’t reply. In fact, I deleted my Dating DNA profile altogether.

A couple days later, I logged into my Myspace account to find a friend request from my Dating DNA suitor. I denied it. The next day I logged into Myspace to find that I had a new message titled “Kira, just read it for god’s sake.” The message said,

Ya know, before you ignore someone you might like, think about it.

K, I’m attractive. I own my own house, I’m artistic, I like to box, cook, wakeboard and stuff…

I have a great relationship with my parents, I have a steady job with benefits, I drive a truck, own a corvette, love songwriting, and more importantly I know who I am.

Yea maybe I had a dream about some chic named Kira, probably shouldn’t have even told you, you’re a girl, and more prone to freak out over that.
Before you place me anywhere on your creepOmeter, take it as a compliment, hopefully you can do that.

I know your named means light because for a while all I did was think about that dream. So i never really had a choice to know what your name meant. I even drew a picture of this girl, wrote poems, ect…
But I never met her. I gave up on her, she wasn’t real.

Ok, so then you come into the picture.
and I’m like. Hm…
She scores higher than every other girl.
ok.
She’s fantastically beautiful right?
ok.

And I think, what the hell. I’ll contact her. Maybe she’s mature and can be direct or maybe even give this guy a chance to speak and or listen.

And…..

oh yea, you take me off your dating dna deal, you deny my request for a friend, and you don’t reply.
That’s quite stubborn……”Just another girl” right?

Kira, if you don’t find me attractive, theres nothing I can do to make you. And I really don’t want to, you don’t have a choice there, you are or you arent.

Just try look at things from my perspective.

but if this is just so damn creepy, fine.
flake out.

I don’t spend hours online looking for women, i go out and meet them.
I’m just a selective motherfucker and I don’t settle.
I never anyone, cheated, or took advantage.
I grew up right, and I’m proud of the things I’ve done.

and most of all, the chances I took.

The fact that me looked me up on Myspace doesn’t really bothered me. But because I don’t know him and have no interest in getting to know him. I never felt the need to respond. I don’t owe him anything. The last message he sent me just flat annoyed me and made me want to respond to him even less.

If you send someone a message and they don’t respond, take it for what it is. They aren’t interested in talking to you. Period. No amount of sending follow up emails, hateful or not, is likely to change that and only makes you look like more of an ass. Just because you take the first step and message someone does not mean that they owe you a reply. End of story.

I dunno. I kinda like the guy. To me, the message shows that he is willing to work a little harder than most for what he wants, and not be whiney about it.

I like a man that can take what he wants, but is secure enough in himself to ask for an pursue what he needs.

Now, i would reserve judgment… there is nothing long getting to know each other over time, but I would give him the chance. His cheekiness would get him that at least, I like the idea someone is as stubborn as I am, he may be able to stand up to me, LOL!

Too bad I’m already off the market. I might contact him.

I had a guy “chase” me from Match to Myspace, and when I had a pic of me up standing next to a wax Captain Picard, he sent me a similarly long and strange e-mail called “Persistence is futile?”

Finally I met him in person so I could be horribly rude and never return his phone calls that way. I swear, I tried to be nice, but it’s like some people aren’t happy until they MAKE you be mean to them.

I use Dating DNA to weed people out. Just raise your Threshold to 7.0 or 7.5. That way, only those who are quite compatible will be able to contact you.

I’m a very attractive girl, and I get hit on all the time from my MySpace and Facebook pages, so using Dating DNA helps filter out those who contact me. Those I’m not compatible with don’t get through, but still lets those who I may very well be interested in still contact me, all while protecting my privacy.

you did the right thing. this was a creepy dude

From his email he sounds like a solid dude, maybe a little frustrated with getting blown off BECAUSE he’s a good guy. I would have at least read the email and responded with something firm: “Sorry, but I’m currently seeing someone. Thanks for taking the time to email me. Good luck!” You get the picture. I was always a lot happier when women who weren’t interested at least sent a short 1 line email back, or even used a canned reply that some of the sites have (yahoo personals).

With that being said, you’re under zero obligation to do this and online dating etiquette certainly doesn’t require it. It’s simply a personal preference. I sometimes send back short no interest replies, sometimes not.

I see your point, as I don’t respond when I’m not interested. But I also see NookieNotes and Lance’s points. I may have given this guy a chance just because he makes sense and put forth the effort.
