That's not going to get me any messages at all. *sigh* I mean, I'm not perfect, but a period here and there, perhaps a comma or two would be helpful. They're the traffic signs of the written language after all!

Think of the messaging as being part of the initial interview or an application test. You've just managed to weed out some people without even having to waste time by going out on a date with them.
Much better than spending a lot of time getting a prettied up for the first date, spending all that money on it, and then finding out he's a moron five minutes into the date.
P.S. I like your new avatar. Very mysterious. Is that you?
