A Strange Way with Words...

last week, volunteering a fellow volunteer asked 'you're mixed, right?' I think I would have answered... "not when I take my medicaton... it helps me be more clear" btw... aren't we ALL mixed??? (if I remember correctly, I have Scottish and German ancestors) |

this does hurt deeply...I have been treated this way. 
I wonder how many other guys fall victim to it as well. Only paying attention when you want some, only saying "I Love You" when SHE asks "do you love me"... Fortunately, I usually learn from my mistakes UNfortunately, my next partner may need many pairs of running shoes

there is a very ancient, very secret, formulation, but if i tell you, i'd have to kill you, which would really defeat the purpose. so, get your swag on in the forums, it is true, you will, if nothing else, make some wonderful friends here. good luck! and I would perish fulfilled... knowing that I possessed the secret to the relationship between man and woman... WAIT!!! did *I* say that??? |

Methinks, whatever you say, say it with heart, and not an agenda. Gals can read between the lines. Trying too hard to be clever or cute can backfire. Keep it simple, true, and if you can inject any humor, it is always appreciated. The advice to roam amd participate in the forums is golden. Seeing who you really are, may generate emails coming YOUR way. I think we can sell you :-) Very nice, Thank You so much... all of you! |

She's calling me cheap........*compares $3.23 U.S. dollars to #3.24 British Pounds*............ Wow... that's almost like... $5.00 Canadian!!! woo woo! But you won't want me in any garden... I play sneaky. My sister asked me to help her weed the 1/2 acre organic vegetable garden at the farm in Toronto, and I pulled *everything green* out. She sent me away (with a grin on my face) and I never had to help with the weeding again. (Before you chastise me for being mean... there were 60 other people that were there to help out that day too... I ended up doing the watering with the tractor) |

when I first tried to sign up, I got a popup for a different dating site and didn't notice the change... ended up signing up for a nasty dating site that keeps wanting to charge for every part of the site

So much advice...Is any of it helping? It certainly is helping Vivian. It takes a lot to send that first email, and no matter how nice the person is (whether or not they answer) rejection is not always easy to take. So advice, *any* advice... is helpful. It can be sorted, sifted, and/or bunched together to give the asker the information needed. Everyone who comes up on mingle develops a signature
Thanks mg, A first impression cannot be taken back, and tone inflection and facial expressions are missing from typed words. I've seen people (myself included) hacked to bits over something that was misinterpreted, or taken the wrong way. No, don't write and tell them you've read their profile
That makes sense too singme. Emails I've received just about always say they've read my profile, yet they don't show up on *Viewed Me* lol Honesty is always the best way to go
So true. I tried to teach my step-daughters that lies invariably *always* come back to *kick u in da butt* And thanks all of you for the warm welcome. I don't know why I didn't find out about Mingle sooner, but it certainly seems to be a great place to make new friends. Now if I could just find the corner for the MAA group (Mingle Addicts Anonymous) mg... it's Victor (although Rusty does sound cool, eh  )

see... now *that* really bugs me it's hard enough getting up the nerve to even *send* that first email... without a bunch of dimwits having already wrecked, or at least diminished any chance of someone believing I *could* actually be a gentleman. I don't doubt for a minute that some have sent emails like that... but... sheesh |

nice is one thing i'm never accused of, haha. but pumpkin-dip? really? I Don't know what my reaction would be to someone calling me *pumpkin-dip*... I'm always pretty calm and laid-back... probably wouldn't be quite as casual a response as you gave your work buddy though I'm a bit hard of hearing, so I probably would just think I didn't hear what they said correctly, LOL |

My first EVER sent email try's,,,,lol were like,,,HI,,,just wanted to let you know I really thing your cute. some replied back,,some didn't? Then I stopped trying,,and only wrote to ones who I knew from the forums. and with them,,we relatd as to what their posts were on or about... Now,,,I can write to anyone and not feel arkward about doing that,,,but,,hey,,I been here doing that now for five years,,,so I BETTER have an idea as to speaking in the emails.. First,,use spellcheck,,always,,ladies seem to think you NOT SMART if you can't spell,,,lol second is why do YOU want to write her? What caught your eye or mind? THEN TELL ER THAT,,,its honest and its the real reason behind your email,,,TRUTH goes far with everyone.. Third,,never give just one word or two,,,,take the time to show them,,your really wanting to talk with them,,,not just passing through one night on here. Now its allin YOUR imaginations to be,,,funny,,sad,,,wanting,,needing or a mix of all them..? MOST willreply to any Gentlemens real message to have sent them,unless your like really making them feel your maybe a mental case,,,lol Panting is just NOT COOL,,,,lol Keep it real,,keep it simple and short... and see if they reply back,,,IF they do,,take from THAT and build on what their respones was back to you.. TRY and be YOU,,but try and be the best you,,with your wit,,and your feelings,,,,it should return another and another,,but time on here being seen in the forums,,REALLY HELPS YOU TO BE KNOWN,,, Good Luck and welcome aboard the nut shack,,,,,lol I read this whole thing 4 times... there is a LOT of wisdom in those lines... Thanks iam |

thanks for the responses, they really help
I can't believe that at 63, I'm *asking* for dating advice! LOL I also found that trying to be funny in an email, doesn't always turn out to *be* funny. and thanks ladylid... but I was pretty certain *that* would be a *very bad* thing to do in a first email LOL |

I do read the profiles and am more often than not, piqued by something the person wrote. I just don't know if a simple "Hi, I read your profile and would like to know more. If you take a peek at *my* profile and see anything of interest, please let me know" Or pick something from their profile that you found of interest and use *that* as an ice-breaker. "Hi, I see you like camping. I've done a fair bit of camping as well... is there a special place you like more than others?" Know what I mean? Would you discard the simple "Hi, check me out and we'll chat" without even looking at the profile? Any emails I've received first... we're of a simple nature, but I've read on other dating sites that most women would simply delete the message if it didn't peak their interest |

MOST of the time asking to see their boobs or if they want to fusk isn't a good idea. 
Probably save that for the third email, right?

Hi there,
This may already have been a thread, but I did a quick scan for something dealing with it, but couldn't find one. I haven't had to ask anyone out on a date for more than 40 years, and with the last couple of long-term relationships, *I* wasn't the one who instigated them, so I'm a bit out of practice. I see a lot of *do's & don'ts* posted, but... What would you say in the first email, that would intrigue someone to actually view your profile, and give you a better chance at a response (either positive or negative) I certainly welcome any response, especially seeing that many on here have been members for quite awhile. If this has already been discussed, if anyone could point me to the thread, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks |

"Love Starts With Me" My point--When I learned to love myself, others were more attracted to me. oh... I like this one how about "Loving Others starts with Loving Me" (or is that too long for a book Title, lol) |
