Like I said, though, if it had said something like, "Ask me what I want and I will tell you," that would be one thing. I know how to proceed in obtaining this information. As it reads, I would have to take a stab at figuring out how to communicate with this person. While I would like to think that he just chose poor wording, but experience has tended to prove otherwise. While he may say this and mean that, it usually winds up meaning exactly what he wrote after all. It becomes frustrating very quickly. I am not interested in being frustrated just to communicate.
We can only speculate what this cryptic little snippet is supposed to mean, but it doesn't sound great from the first glance. I may ask him about it eventually, but it is a caution flag to me before either of us have even write the first message. There's plenty I am not telling a stranger on the internet. I do have to know someone before delving into my deeper waters. That's fine. This doesn't mean that to me. He went into plenty of detail about what he believed about some things, but what he wants out of another person, he intentionally withheld without any idea how one is to "earn" that information. It bothers me.
Honestly, this was meant in good spirit and perhaps a discussion of the importance of open communication. My initial gut reaction was that of having had a barrier placed between me and simply talking to the man. IF the knowledge I must earn is what he wants from me, then how can I know how to give him what he wants that earns that information. It's circular reasoning, a vicious cycle, and shows one of many ways communication can break down before it even begins.
