You are welcome.

Just don't tell everyone I'm not a biotch. I got a reputation to uphold here.

Well there are those of us who have been out of the single life for a long long time and are not as sure of ourselves as we would like to be, relearning to follow your instincts about people again, and lets face it none of us want more rejection. For me it is often that i want to email for a while before i talk on the phone or in person, helps both parties get to know a few things about each other so you do have something to talk about when or if meeting up later. My short experience has been that the most of the gentlemen who contact me want to rush things. I think "slow and steady wins the race" and yes I know this is my way and not every one wants to go slow and that's OK too. there is someone out there for each of us. i always answer it just sometimes takes me a little while to respond due to busy schedules and because i do not want to lead anyone on or reject them before i found or if we might have things in common. each person you meet on here is a potential friend whether you end up dating or not! writing first is easier for me to be myself at first. And i don't lie about my stuff cuz who wants the pressure of having to remember who you invented what with? If you start out a relationship with deception its dead before it starts. okay i am don off my soap box . Boy i am seeing that part of me loud and clear!

There's really no excuse for not replying, if you have the time to set up a profile then you have the time to send someone a quick note telling them you're not interested, it's not like you have to carry on a conversation, just a quick "sorry, I'm not interested" goes a lot farther than just ignoring people.
