"I'm With Place Tonight, Wanna Hook Up?"

Haven't we all heard these famous lines! Well, not heard, read most of the times.
Whenever someone pings me "I'm with place tonight, wanna hook up?", I invariably gulp down some more vodka and take a look at the profile decorated with those golden 3 letters (actually, they're more like green not golden, but who's bothered about the color anyways) - sex! Now, unless the guy looks extremely hot and irresistible, chances are that the beds and condoms would not be employed, no lube summoned and since there's not much to say after falling from a sexual fantasy peak to the abyss of 'he-is-not-my-type' reality, there would be no replies to that message.
Let's see what went wrong!
You might be a wonderful guy, you might know amazing tricks that would make having sex with you an experience to remember, you might be great at conversations - so great that you can seduce any guy you want when you talk to them! Or worst of all, you might just not be photogenic! The moment you sent that random guy on PR (GR) that message, you killed a great opportunity of actually being able to convey all these remarkable things about you! Do you see where this is going? We are gay men, we want an overdose of sex (at least most gay men do which makes me think at times that I'm dating a straight guy!) and just like any other thing we want, sex comes to those who can earn it. Don't make a fool of yourself by sending those blunt lines (again, if you are super hot, kill the conversation and just say "Sex? Now?" - but if you were super hot you might not have to ask for sex, you'd just have to give your address as a reply :P).
Start a humble and engaging conversation first. Say a little 'Hi' (and be sure to say more than just a 'Hi'!), complement the person/profile and then after they've discovered that you are a person they might be interested in slip in the proposition. The person might still not be interested in you but at least you would know you gave your best to satiate those bubbling hormones :)

Disclaimer: This post does not target men who are targeting desperate men. If you are going after sex starved desperate guys, just jump ahead and say "I'm with place tonight, wanna hook up?" and you would get what you want!
