What the eff?? A few days after our date, Jeff (pardon me, GEOFF, with his pretentious extra letters) sends me the following unsolicited message.- Hey Maureen, I did enjoy meeting you, however I have to say I didn't really feel a spark between us. I believe there has to be some chemistry when meeting someone in order for anything to happen. Regards, Geoff
Thank you, Captain Obvious! Was this really necessary? Do you feel like you’re in control now, big man? Did either of us leave the date under the illusion that we had any interest in seeing or speaking to each other ever again? Was there even a half-hearted “call me?” No. Did you misinterpret my wave goodbye (a WAVE - not a handshake, nor a hug, nor any other form of physical contact) as a “come hither” beckon? Because it wasn’t. Regard this Geoff - my American boyfriends could kick your ass.
One date and I’ve already had enough of the young Kiwi male and his giant ego and bland personality. Reason #521 to always trust my instincts – I will not like the type of guy who joins an online dating site. I have decided to put this social experiment on hold indefinitely.
READER POLL - This email has stirred up debate across New Zealand. Leave your opinion in the comments. Did I overreact? Some say no, this guy is a jerk. Other (less correct) people say this was a nice message. I wouldn't want to be left hanging if we had made plans for future contact, but that wasn't the case here.

You did not overreact. This guy is an idiot and not worth your time. I don't think his message was necessary since you didn't make future plans or express any interest. Also, his clear lack of olympic knowledge proves it would not work out.
clearly, this man is gay.
I think you had totally overreacted. This guy sounds great to me, you should beg him to go out with you again.
Seriously I agree why would someone even take the time to email. Maybe it is some sort of cultural thing.
You said it yourself - the kiwis are very polite people. Maybe he thought he was doing the right thing.
Regardless, I think you should reply to him and say what you said here: Thank you, Captain Obvious! Regard this Geoff, my American boyfiends can kick your ass.
If you're going to quit online dating, go out with a bang.
I am not a proponent of online dating, but I think you should give it another try.
