Reader Feedback on "Miss Information"
When having a personal ad, any guy who contacts me by IM is automatically dismissed.I mean...for god's sake.I took the patience to subscribe to the site, write an engaging profile and take some cute pictures of me etc...DO THE SAME THING YOU LAZY CHEAPO!
Wait...maybe there's a reason why he IM me instead of doing a profile: Maybe he's lazy, or poor,wanted by the FBI, married etc...In any case I have plenty of good looking guys with ads were I can choose from with plenty of information in their profiles. I feel much more confortable going on a date with them because I know what I'm getting.
IM guy dismissed.

In re: the IM stalker, I had to change my Nerve personals name because it was the same as my Instant Messenger screen name -- I found it completely creepy when guys I had never spoken to would IM me after seeing my profile. To be frank, a major reason I like online dating is the ability to decide who I want to talk to and when, and it felt really intrusive to have random strangers "approach" me over IM. And seriously, if you want to talk to me that desperately, could you just spend the credit to talk to me through the established channels? A wink would have been better than the hey-I-guessed-your-screen-name gambit.

You can be friends with an ex without feeling pressured to "do" something with them all the time. If you don't have mutual interests that present ideas for activities, or you can't just be comfortable doing anything together, then maybe it's a good idea that you're exes. Because you were probably never friends to begin with.

the letter from 'confused' gives me a headache.

To Ex Event Planner,
While I think Miss Info has some great suggestions, I would recommend asking yourself why you want to remain friends with your ex, and use that answer to figure out what the two of you should do together. For example, I have two exes that I'd like to be friends with but for opposite reaons: the first, I enjoying doing things with, like going to shows or hiking, etc; the second, I enjoy talking to. Based on that, the first ex I would plan an active event with, and the second I would meet for coffee or a drink to hang out and chat. If you can't do either of those things, you probably can't be friends with your ex.
