I have done searches and found some interesting profiles. I have emailed a couple of them. I say, "Hi, how are you your profile came up in my search. Would you like to chat? But I do not get replies.

What should I say when I email them? So I don't sound like a dork.

I wish I knew what to tell you. I have NEVER gotten a reply here when I e-mailed someone first. After I was here for awhile, and had established myself in the forums, people started e-mailing me. Now I get tons of mail here. But I won't mail anybody first anymore. As I like to say, if I wanted to be ignored, I could have stayed married.

I don't know but, if they can't accept u for u than tell them to kick dirt

Just be yourself, eventually you will get replies just got to be patient

as Lex said, establish yourself in the forums first.......good luck

Who knows....I have done the same and nothing......their lose the JSH Family gain.......

Hang around the forum.....stranger things happen here...

I have done the same thing and gotten pretty much no replies, but try to always reply to anyone who emails me. I think people are scared that if they answer an email that they are now locked into something. I say this. Email back. Even if you truly aren't interested in dating. I never heard of having too many friends.

i have established myself in the forums and i am still not liked that much...lmao

They probably were not interested..thats all, had nothing to do with what you said.

Bland, impersonal e-mails aren't really enticing to me. It makes it appear as though they did not read my profile and I have no idea why they are writing.

THE SUN STILL COMES UP BABE.........

yer pretty cool in my eyes

Yeah you would think people come on a site like this to chat and maybe meet. I have found that not to me true.....

Maybe its me but I rather think its them

I agree with Lilith.

My question is, why are you writing to ME?

Cy Luvs ya gurlie.

Sometimes I send e-mails to guys that said or did something interesting in the forums, or whatever. I think many of them don't reply because they are afraid that I will think they are interested in dating me, even though I was just being friendly. They don't want to lead me on, and they don't know how to make sure I understand they just want friendship without hurting my feelings. So they ignore me.

And I think, you twit, I wasn't trying to date you.

Sigh.

Well, I don't know if there's any kind of a formula to this, but I really didn't start getting noticed until I was up to around 4000 posts. Right around there somewhere is when the ice broke and people really started writing to me.

I think it's just a process of people reading what you wrote, finding something either amusing or thought-provoking in it, and being able to differentiate you from the hundreds of other posters enough to begin to attribute you with a unique and recognizable identity.

And that takes some time because there are a lot of people here, and there are (sad to say) a lot of people who never post anything at all of substance, and a lot of readers may be getting bogged down in "Hi" and "I'm bored" and "Who's up" and "How is everybody" and never getting to the stuff that requires any measurable brainwave activity.

And I must admit that I STILL never hear from anyone within 897,000 miles. I have typical days where I'll get a couple dozen e-mails here and NOT ONE from anyone I would ever have a chance of meeting in real life. Nobody's fault, that's just the way things work (or don't) for me here.

You mean you weren't trying to date me when you first sent me e-mails?
