I'll try that next time.

And what would you like us to say?

Anything that acknowledges you've read our profile and leaves an opening with which to respond. Something personailzed and engaging.

If that isn't possible, why bother sending anything?

Hi - I'm longhairbiker. I like long walks on the beach, good conversation and cosmopolitans

Yup. That should be easy enough, right?

Hi Bob. I read your profile and it's so funny you mentioned hot air balloons.... the festival is near my house every July and I adore sitting outside and watching them go by. I've always wanted to go up in one, despite me being scared of heights.

I'm interested in learning more about you and I hope you read my profile and reply. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jane


Wow. that was tough man....

damn get it lillith

hi

Hi...my name is Sal.I am a 37 year old Italian male from New York! I was touring across the states and residing in LA and Vegas for quite sometime.After years of trying to chase a dream I decided to finish my teaching degree...just to have some sort of security! I returned back to New York and rent the garage apartment next to my family until I graduate(cheap rent).
Since being back,,,I have been consumed with work and school and haven't really found the time to get out and meet new people! I am human and feel the need for companionship.I am not looking for anything too serious at the moment!I truly want to find what some may call "friends with benefits". Now that does not imply a hit and run.I feel the more connection and understanding you have with a person...the deeper the passion is.

I truly understand if this is not what you are seeking...but had to give it a shot!Hope to hear from you!


That would be probably how my email should sound...it is straight foward and too the point.Probably would get a better reaction and response from this than just saying "Hi"!

Ya know, I've written several people on here and other places but have never gotten a response so I just wait for someone to contact me. I'm not holding my breath!

If at first you don't succeed...try...try...again!

Hi Singmesweet...just wanna say...very nice thread!

Thanks.

I have the cure for this! Put a disclaimer in your profile that says you wont respond to emails like this and WA LA! You don't have to feel guilty about not responding

there are people that aren't used to the on-line thing. yes...saying a little more than hi would be great, but maybe they think they should do like in real life. someone wouldn't go up to someone else in real life and say..."Hi i'm ________. I like ________. what do you like to do?"

if someone did that to me in real life....it would make me a bit nervous.

just thinking some do not know what others would like in emails or they are unsure of what to say.

just a thought. I try to give people some advice in case they don't know what to email.

They'll still get angry at no response, as they probably haven't read the profile to being with.

Yeah well I really could not care less if they are angry. If they don't read the profile then thats on them. They can take their anger, put it in a pipe and smoke it because I'm not havin it

Who is this Jane you are referring to.....and is she available on
