What do you think of this message?..?

Question

So, I met this guy on line on a Mormon dating site.

HE chatted me up first..

in the end I felt he wasn't as interested as before...

so I told him, "Nice getting to know you, if you're not interested like I am, glad I had a chance ..take care and God bless."

I had told him before that I knew of some people that went to his alumni school. *He knows I didn't know his last name..BUT

This girl I worked with..knows of the guy-told me his last name and said he was nice..but it seems like he's gotten a little cocky.

I concur to this..but still just want to add him as a friend..

as I don't expect anything else.

I am planning on adding him on to my fb account.

Sending him this messgage:

"Hey Cory! Hope all is well. So, I worked with Katie, and she told me you guys went to school together..lol. Small World. Hope we can be friends if that."

OR

something along those lines...

I just want to be his friend..nothing more

Answer 1

I wouldn't bother. People go on dating sites to meet potential dates & relationships, not just friends. It also kind of looks like you're chasing him down which may come across as creepy. (Not saying you are, just that he could interpet it that way). If I was on a dating site and didn't have a connection, I wouldn't want them to add me as a friend. I would be like "why??"

Answer 2

I would leave out the the hope we can be friends part. It seems like a jab, try something like talk to you later buddy or something more 'playful'.

Answer 3

I say go for it.  Sometimes when you are looking around for someone to date, you meet interesting people along the way.  You two share a common interest.  Like you said, it couldn't hurt.  If he continues to be cocky though, don't feel like you are even obligated to stay friends though.  Good luck in either case.
