Pushy pushy

I don't get it. Are these people desperate or plain obnoxious?

(MSN chat cut, pasted and chopped short)

Guy1 says:

sesat says:

Guy1 says:

Guy1 says:

sesat says:

Guy1 says:

sesat says:
that's the thing, see..
sesat says:
i don't trust u
sesat says:
we only talked for like.. what.. 3 times?

Guy1 says:
dont be narrow minded like mot of the people here
Guy1 says:
some one is invting you to cinema
so what ??!!!
nothing with that
sesat says:
it is about how comfortable i feel with u
sesat says:
at this stage, i'm not comfortable with u
sesat says:
so why should i spend the time and energy?

Guy1 says:
any relationship whatever was its kind needs a start
it is just some time i want to spend with you to know you more
maybe we will feel comfortable to each other
sesat says:
well i don't see why you are trying to rush anything
sesat says:
and why u are pushing me

Guy1 says:
i am not pushing you
it is up to you
i am trying to clarify my intentions and convince you
but the thing i say is that you dont really need to be scared
so what do you think ?

sesat says:
i have already met a few online friends
sesat says:
so?
Guy1 says:
i dont want it to be only online
Guy1 says:
i want some thing more intersting and serious

Guy1 says:
i was very frank and clear with you
i think i have never said that to any body else
Guy1 says:
so wanna continue this conversation face to face ??

sesat says:
well i already told you that i am not at a comfortable stage with u yet
sesat says:
i hope that u can respect that
sesat says:
if you dont then i'm sorry, i dont think we should continue this
Guy1 says:
you know
i dont like the way you talk
you have to speak more respectfully
i will not die if you are not comfortable
Guy1 says:
i dont understand you people here
you are afraid of anybody who is foreigner
u make a big deal from small things
you need to sms or to chat for years before you can meen any body



-At this point, I got Really pissed-


sesat says:
i think it is you who should treat me with more respect
sesat says:
i told u that i am not comfortable meeting u but still u want to push it
sesat says:
i have met with online friends after talking to them for a few weeks or months
sesat says:
being a foreigner or not is not my concern
sesat says:
u think that everyone here is bias??
Guy1 says:
i do treat you with respect
but you keep saying i dont rust you i am not comfortable
while i am speakning to you very clearly

sesat says:
i can tell u that i have encountered online ppl who have treated me like SHIT
sesat says:
is it wrong for me to be cautious???
sesat says:
i am clearly telling you the TRUTH when i say i'm not comfortable with u YET
sesat says:
why cant u just accept that???
Guy1 says:
umm....... maybe you have right here
but i didnt ask you to meet in a seperate place
i chose a public place

sesat says:
i hardly even know u!!

Guy1 says:
and i said i want just to know you more maybe we will like each other

sesat says:
how would i know what YOU want??
sesat says:
and personally i dont like the way u are talking to me
Guy1 says:
i like the brave and cautious people like you



.........

=.='

O_0


Guy1 says:
i respect that very much
Guy1 says:
i am getting more comfortable with you
and even when i asked for your pic that was becasue i want to get along with you easily and the pic would help
Guy1 says:
so if you keep expecting any body like this ... u will opress many people

sesat says:
the people i have met, i have not regretted meeting them
sesat says:
and i dont want to regret meeting anyone in the future
sesat says:
i think i am able to judge for myself the good guys from the bad
sesat says:
if u want to continue getting to know me then i hope u will not push me anymore or i will block u..

I'm really tired and seriously starting to wonder why I waste my time and energy layaning people like these. Are they really going to develop into proper friendships? Is it true that if you don't meet up, the relationship will go nowhere? Isn't it possible to care for online friends as well?

I have a few online friends who have become real people in my life. We share problems, we webcam, we talk on the phone occasionally, we sms when we are not online. I honestly care for some of these people, and I know that the water flows both ways. The only difference is that we do not meet in real life.

Truth of the matter is... Many online friendships don't work out as real life friendships. Sometimes it is shocking how different people (me included) are IRL as compared to their online personalities.

What does 'real' friendship entail, then? Touch? Smell? Eye contact? Aren't those merely physical attributes that are not relevant to an emotional and mental relationship? How about those people who are my real life friends, but we only keep in touch online now? Aren't we still considered as 'real' friends?

In the end ... Does It Really Matter ... ?

This guy, who tried to push you. For my instict as a male, i think he is just trying to fooling u into his play. And getting you pissed off the more, makes him the more merrier. What a jerk !

Anyway,if he did not do it purposely,as he tot wanna get to know someone this way,this FAST like Maggimee, well, I can intro him to my ZOO in taiping, there are numbers of female monkeys need mating. Wahahahaha! Such a JERK !

Waa Waa, you absulutely dont have to entertain this kind of guy.U seems trying to be polite n reasonable in the chat, but HEY, he's a JERK. You DONT have to treat him politely, just block him straight away. If u encounter same type of guy, hehe. Do invite me into the chat too. So I can PLAY along with these JERKS!

I feel like wanna flatten his face after reading what he chatted! Foriegner anot, what an asshole!

wawa just block them straight la.. no need to be polite one.. no point lor really getting mad over someone you don't know. If you feel from the start they're sickos just block. block block block.. msn created that feature for a good cause. I just hope you'll be able to be more mean so that people won't see that they can bully you. :\ *pecks those blardy jerkos viciously* It's hard to find friends online, but that will make you appreciate those who has become your friends more right? Again.. just block la. No need to give face wan.. *wink* Wait.. just type some cursing words to them and then block them straight. Hehehehe..kidding kidding.

kmen yes there are much MUCH worst ones that i've encountered.. eg. guy who kept declaring that he loved me and miscalled me 10000 times a day (and we havent even met), guys who are looking for nothing else but sex. You're gonna meet TONS of desperate, useless, horny, sensitive guys.. but like what jase said above, it only makes me appreciate the few who have really become my friends =) Anyway i think i've had enough of it, retiring soon.. will pass on the ship to you ;)

I think there are 2 schools of thought here - one who draws the line between virtual and reality, another who makes virtual become reality. The hard part is finding common ground.

We are all just so virtually connected these days so much so it's hard to ignore the fact that we have a virtual life. Similarly, if you shun technology, you'll be left behind. Hence, finding common ground. In other words, too much of one school of thought is bad. Then again, too much of anything is bad. Haha...

Not trying to take any sides here. Guy 1 is probably more of a reality person - he wants to get to know you face to face. Or he could be trying to get you where the sun don't shine. Can't say much about Guy 2 cos it's obvious he's just having some virtual fun.

Anyway, you hold the key to the door that let's people into your circle of friends. And you'll know you've made the right choices who you pick when you find you have your cliques whether in virtual or reality. Also, you can ask yourself if you'd open your door to someone who can't spell Tom Cruise properly.

weng: LOLZ the Tom Cruise bit was a really good punchline! I agree with you on many points.. was just pissed at that time la. So when are you gonna become a reality? =)
