Conversaltionalists: The short talker

The message from a guy who you are trying to figure out if he's interested, or trying to "play ya."

I specifically put on my profile on this one website "no games."  I don't want to be anyone's toy, fake interest, or someone to merely talk to.  I specifically don't want my time wasted. 

Case in point:  The conversationalist that only sends you five words at a time and shares very little personal information. 

I get an email from a guy that says "Hey Baby" and so I think he actually wants to engage me in conversation.  We begin sending emails back and forth, and then I start noticing a trend, he's barely sharing anything about himself, while I'm trying to get a connection or something.  My writing is generally prolific, relevant to the discussion, and has proper grammar.  I also usually try to figure out a name.  I believe that if you are going to engage in a conversation you should introduce yourself, talk about things to try and figure out what you have in common.  You know, the reason you got on the website to begin with, right?

This guy not only kept sending me emails with five words or less, and kept calling me "Baby."  If you are going to call someone baby and you don't know them, there's a reason for that.  To me, if you call me "Baby" and you don't know me, 1) you'll find out that I don't like it, unless we are actually in a relationship, 2) I will assume you're a "playa" only trying to keep a distance between knowing who I am and trying to get me into bed. 

How I addressed it:

After I noticed he was barely sharing anything about himself, I told him: "I actually appreciate a more thorough conversation.  Like more than 5 words.... If you want to keep chatting, I highly suggest not making me work for a conversation."

His response, "Later."

What a Player.
