Would you date a guy who described himself as 'mysterious''?

[Scarletohello]

So I've been chatting to a guy online who initially seemed very nice but I'm realising that trying to get information about him is like trying to get blood out of a stone. I asked him how his friends would describe him and he said " loyal...intelligent...mysterious"

I then asked him what his unique talents are and he replied,

"I'm very modest about myself, so I prefer you to find them out yourself...
But if you insist, you may be able to excavate a few from my sealed lips...??"

I'm getting a bit fed up with this now as it's impossible to get to know someone if they are evasive/enigmatic all the time.

And also it's one thing for a teenage girl to be mysterious but it's a bit odd in a fully grown man! Am starting to wonder what is behind this, low self esteem, shyness or is he trying to make himself look more interesting as he's actually really boring...?

I would absolutely date him.

Then I would remember it all and come back on MN to tell everyone about it. Because it would be very funny.

(Ok, obviously I wouldn't but I'm hoping you will. He sounds about 17 and a right wanker.)

Well I had to ask him direct questions as I wasn't getting any information about him, so it was a desperate attempt to get to know him more. He's also 50, not 17..!!

He has obviously read some psycho shit in a dating handbook that says women like this sort or has delusions of grandeur after watching to many James Bond films.
This would seriously wind me up.
Or he may just be a self obsessed knob.

Sorry...should have said 'psychological dating shit'

He's 50? No excuse then. Twat.

Eeeuuuu bet he gives it some 'sneaky beaky special operations' crap

To be honest, I'm not at all surprised by his age

Well I've just sent this message to him,

I am struggling to understand why a grown man would describe himself as 'mysterious'. Is it just a euphemism for 'married'?

Let's see what he says!

And thanks for all the replies, was thinking about this a lot...

Good message! To be honest he sounds like he'll turn out to be a right dull bastard

Is that spelt M.A.R.R.I.E.D K.N.O.B.B.E.R.?

Nice one....

Well he is an 'IT Architect' (whatever that is), so yes probably dull and a bit of a fantasist...

Describing yourself as mysterious (or how he thinks his friends would describe him) is a bit like saying you are wealthy or important - if you have to tell people....

Also who would actually describe their friend as mysterious?!?

He is definitely either married or a magician.

Either way, best avoided

Him saying that about himself is cringy. It reminds me of this Kanye West clip in which he proclaims himself to be a genius: vine.co/v/hLmhQ9ulwX9

I would take it that he's a prat. And leave him to it.

Is it Paul Daniels....

Seeking a new Debbie mageeeeee

once i'd stopped laughing...

bless him - pat him on the head and tell him to run along?

Yes he is married. Cunt. Well that's that.

Nope. Avoiding questions like that would seriously annoy me.

Seriously? what a knobber. Well done though for twigging he's a twat from the get go!

Well it did take a while. I didn't actually think he was married tho but now he's admitted it, his evasiveness makes sense. Have deleted all conversations. God I bloody hate online dating!

What an Absolute knob jockey....

Op onwards and upwards

Just sorting the wheat from so much slimy shitty chaff

what a bell end he is then. his poor wife

Sounds like a knobber to me too!
