Too Many People Don't Know How To Make A Good First Impression.

By first impression, I did not mean only clothing or whether someone bothered to groom to perfection. I meant that, many times, a guy will try to ask me out and all they say is "Hi. I want to get to know you. Here's my number...give me a call". This is on an Internet dating site. I would think that, if they wanted to get a date, they could take time to write something of substance. I don't mean a letter that one would write to their best friend. They can write something more than "give me a call"......One guy even said, "I'm at work. Call me. I will save your number and call you at 6 AM when I get off. Be up and ready to talk"....who says these things. No, I was not being superficial. I meant in all aspects. I do not always wear the nicest things to go out. I sometimes skip a shower, put my hair in a ponytail and run out. If I want to impress someone or show that I am interested, I put some kind of effort into showing them that I care enough to put clean clothes on and comb my hair. I don't think that I have to look glamorous, but I can look decent. In writing to people, I ask how they are, tell them what I liked in their online profile and try to put them at ease so a conversation is possible. I would not just write for someone to call me if they were into me.
