I am not trying to pull teeth.....

...but getting info out of some people is just as hard.
OM, when you are trying to get to know a YW, please ask us questions. I answer whatever I am asked. If you really want to know me, that is the only way to do so. Don't worry about being "cool" or whatever.
There, I have said my peace. *Steps down from box*.

I agree! Sometimes it's hard to get to know an OM, especially trying to strike up conversation! You have to ask questions of eachother so you can gauge what you have in common to chat about!

History. I use online dating, and post a profile photo so there will be no confusion as to what I look like.
Guy I was talking to says he is interested in getting to know me better and all was going well. He asks to see a newer photo and I oblige because he knows what I look like (I haven't changed much since the earlier photo). He gets it and all of a sudden he is too busy to get to know me. Even said so. Everyone who doesn't have a busy life please raise their hands, because I know that mine is practically a endless vacation (note sarcasm).
I am done for now.

You make a good point yeuxverts, but I don't think it stops there. See, the thing about this getting-to-know-you stuff is, it's a two-way street. The YW that I'm interested in will walk right by me and not speak unless one of two things has happened:
1. I've spoken first, or
2. She wants me to do something for her at works.
The subject is always, ALWAYS, about work, unless I ask something about her life outside of our place of employment. She will always answer, but the conversation is never followed up with similar questions about me. Ladies, if you want a conversation, then be prepared to carry on a conversation. Me asking you questions that you then answer and await the next question is not a conversation. It's an interview on the TODAY show. *he pushes the soapbox back for the next occupant*

Couldn't agree more, Mike. I like to ask and question, get the answer, then be asked a question. I don't like rapid-fire interview sessions. I may know about the person I ask, but what have they learned about me in return?
