Receiving The Same Message From A Romantic Stranger

About a year ago, i received this message from someone in a GBT site.

hi? are you lookin 4 serious relationship dn ba?? is it ok 2 ask YOUR CP# NUMBER ? if you are lookin 4 serious likewise? cause iam.. wish ur not into hook ups,,,cause,, many of guys ir,, want sex.. just leave.. YOUR CP NUMBER.. GODBLESS.. im into LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP, its quite hard na pag nagkita n kau in person, mag aliby na ganyan ganun. its hurting. kya sana. more deeper. and not shallow.. tapos pag nabgay na ang number, kala mo ok. di nman pls.


I replied saying that it's very flattering and so romantic of him but he must be joking because people don't ask somebody else randomly to be their partner. it doesn't work that way.

The next day, when i checked out my inbox, i found out that the user deleted his account.


Yesterday, i received the same message.

GoodEve! bro! are you also looking for partner? I am M***, is it okay to get your number #? if we are on the same boat, i mean if you are looking for partner too. Wish your the man im looking. Im a I.T. guy along Ayala Ave.


the user name of the guy who sent me the message is different but both user names have the word 'chinese' included in the handle.

Again, i replied and said,
'hey there. cute smile. I'm not sure if you're aware but you sent me the same message before. But i don't know who you are, man... you know, to be engaging you in such a serious tone.'

And i added that i'm actually used to flirting online and i do not hesitate expressing how i feel about a guy... even joke about offering marriage but of course, it's just exaggerating.

I never cross the line even if i'm dying to meet a guy i'm stalking.

And last, i told him the same thing,
'hey... this is flattering. but you know how it goes. we don't really ask someone to be our partner. It should be a work in progress.
You see, 'Real Life'... it's not a romantic novel. It's not a John Lloyd and Sarah movie.
They're made yes but only to entertain and spice up the romance that's already there.

Go meet people, talk. Yes, engage in a conversation. don't be afraid of rejection. everyone experiences it. embrace it. learn from every experience.

Then, you'll meet the guy you know is the kind of guy for you.'


I just checked my inbox again. The user deleted his account like what happened a year ago.
