I loved your rant! It seems like the last couple guys I met wanted to
act like we were an established couple before we got out the door good
on the first date! Incidentally, there was no second date.

The only thing I can think to add to this is Call Her By Her Name!!! I
am a very friendly person but being called Babe, Baby, Honey, Sweetie
etc all the time drives me crazy.

It makes me think that the guy either cannot be bothered to remember my
name, or that he he is playing so many that he is afraid he'll get us
mixed up.

That may not be the case, but I know I'm not the only woman I know that
feels this way. Just e-mailing, IMing etc does not automatically make
someone your sweetie, honey, baby... You need to earn that.
