Feels like swimming through mud

So things have been very quiet in the dating world. I have received a couple emails and winks but no one really interesting. There was one guy that seemed like he could be interesting but he sent me one email and when I responded he wanted me to call him on the phone.

I don't know what everyone else thinks but I like to get a feel for someone via email first or maybe chatting. It's because I can't carry on a conversation but rather I think phone numbers are personal and I don't want to accidentally end up with someone that won't stop calling or texting me. It's just a little too personal when you haven't even agreed to meet someone or been asked to meet. So I would prefer to keep it online so that I can get a feel for the person.

When he requested that I call him, I politely explained that I wanted to email a few times before we jump onto the phone. I got a short email from him saying I understand and told me that his sisters signed him up a few months ago and he had met some interesting people bla bla bla. He didn't answer any of my questions from my first email. But I took this as a good sign that we could correspond via email for a bit so I responded divulging some more things about myself and asked him a couple more questions. His response - he sent me his phone number again.

So, I have not responded and I have not called him. I considered calling him but opted not to do it. I thought if it is this difficult to explain my feelings and have them be respected I would rather not talk to him. I am not about to be bullied or pushed into something that I don't feel like doing just because.

So the next email was from a guy not in my height range and he must have confused me with another profile. He says "like you, I enjoy watching the Toons and Anime." I am thinking, "Seriously?" "What are you talking about those things are the farthest from my profile as you can get." Oh well, confusion on his part. I checked out his profile- kind of got the oogies from it so not responding to that one either besides he is too short. Sorry I like tall guys.

Then there are the winks from guys with no pictures or guys that are just not on the "want" list. So that is why I feel like I am swimming through mud. There is just no clear path right now.
