ME: So if you're from Ottawa, does that mean your idea of a hike is blazing up a concrete city path or do you really get out into the mountains? lol. Have you ever gone back country hiking/camping?

All of your interests sound pretty similar to mine...but a lot of women on this site say they are interested in something but rarely are active in doing it. In the summer months I like to get out to the mountains almost every weekend. I do the car camping with friends that like that sort of thing, and I also do back country stuff with some more agile friends. To me, the biggest reason to live in this city as opposed to the other prairie cities is the proximity to the mountains.

HER: Hiked in the mountains but never camped outside of Ontario - just moved here last August and haven't had the opportunity or weather to yet. If you're looking for someone super-hard core then I don't think I'm the person for you. To me being outside is enjoying the fresh air, getting exercise and spending time with friends not climbing crazy rock faces or having face to face encounters with bears

ME: I'm willing to bet the bears are more interested in not having a face to face with you! lol. In fact...a rock face would be a great place to be if your goal is to avoid the bears. I think you should stick with me...I'll scare em off for ya! I don't do rock faces though, and I'm not hard core...by some definitions. I'm definitely looking for someone who isn't opposed to trying new things.

Haha, I'm probably a bit too much for you to handle. However, if you think you're up for a good challenge, perhaps you'd like to continue this conversation over the phone or text? Send me your cell phone number and be ready to have a good time!

ME After a week: Trying to play hard to get already? I think you've mistaken me for that other guy that messaged you that had those creepy pictures! Get back to me!

HER: Hahaha...actually went out with someone this week and seeing where that goes - I'm more of a monogamous dater and think it's weird people keep chatting with other people if they're going out with someone y'know?

Will keep you in mind, I like your sense of humour

What the fuck do I say now? The other things is...I've been logging on pretty much every day the past two weeks...and I see her online all the time according to the POF system. So unless she is chatting with this so called "someone" every night on POF chat (which I would be surprised if she is dating someone..why not phone or text rather than on POF?)...she's not as innocent and monogamous as she says she is being.

Well, she already told you that she'll ''keep you in mind'', implies that ''Not now''.

Also, she's stated before she's into this guy she's going out with, you can do nothing. Eject from this situation and meet new women.

If she messages you someday, reverse the tables.

I like that idea ewok but I wasn't chatting so can't use it this time. I'll just have to eject like recommended. Lets say she does write me back after a time, how do I turn the tables? She is still online every day...so I don't believe what she says. Probably she was just letting me down easy or something and isn't interested in the least.

If she comes back, keep your distance.

Be polite but formal.

The fundamental rule is that it should be more about you saying 'No', than women saying 'Yes'.
