I just try to be nice to the guy but if he can't get the message then its blocking time.

It's based on how the person writes the message. If it's a nice message where they show interest, then I'll reply with a nice rejection. But if it's a message where the person is disrespectfully trying to get with me, then I wouldn't send a message. I agree.. Someone sends me an email that says "hey sexy" and that's it, I don't respond at all.. If they make an attempt and conversation being nice I respond with a "thank you"... |

If someone emails you and expresses interest in you, and you do not share that interest, do you think it's nicer to send a reply email and nicely tell them that or is it better just not to respond? I have seen several male profiles saying that they think it is rude for someone not to respond to an email they have sent. But if it were me, I think I'd rather get NO response than a rejection. What's the proper etiquette in this situation? While it WOULD be much more civil to send a short email explaining why things probably wouldn't work out, the prevailing tactic here is to simply not reply. Yeah, it sucks (and is awfully rude), but everybody does it. |

if someone wasn't interested, i'd be fine with no response. i'd like a "not interested" response only if she gave some constructive criticism with it, such as, "no thanks, you're too ugly for my taste". i could use that to make improvements. of course some people would just get depressed about it. ha.

Hmmm....this is kind of a tough one. Some of the emails I receive are written almost like form letters and maybe the sender has sent out 50 or more, who knows. I do not want to be rude but if I receive an email that sounds like a form letter I figure they will never even miss if I do not respond.

Sounds good in theory, but after a few times of getting rude or nasty replies back from one nice reply, you just give up and send nothing. |

It is a personal choice. For me, it feels rude not to reply. They are the same human being whether behind a keyboard or in line behind me at the grocery store. I respond the same way. (she doesn't smoke) I smoke occassionally! I will generally send a message back, especially if they made a genuine effort to send a nice email. Those that have been perving me for months, tried to add me as a friend without emailing first, or added to favorite without contact, well those may be blocked before I even read an email. hhhmmm.... jess' theory about smoking and ettiquette might just have some backing |
