If you send someone an email and they respond, do you assume they're interested?


Insufficient data. I don't e-mail anybody first; and, back when I did, no one ever responded.


Or, if someone sends you an email (could be about anything) do you assume they're interested?


They're either interested in scamming or arguing or trying to change me.


it's just because you resist:wink:


"Resistance is futile...." Oh look, it's the Borg. I don't need THAT particular outfit....!!

not sure ur following entirely. I mean tell her "please change me, and I want 6 babies before my 40 th birhday & if u wanna argue with me about it baby - that's great!"


you'l have her eating out of ur hand, lex


That's like the Aztec guy who WANTS to have his heart pulled out of his chest to appease whatever god they were worrying about that particular week.

NO thank you, I'm not really masochistic enough for that sort of thing! And the heart's been pulled out and stomped on enough times as it is....!
laugh ok ok BE mr honesty and sincere then....see where THAT getsya:wink:


Oh, I KNOW where that gets me....!

And it's not the best of all possible worlds, but it sure beats Mainstream-Domesticated-Husband-Father-BrainDead-Adjunct Land!

rofl you don;t want a smoking jacket and an easy chair?


Can you wear a smoking jacket if you don't smoke?



sure but the pipe image suits the new domestication

besides I thought writers wore things like smoking jackets....


Not me, I'm counter-culture. T-shirt and jeans. And gray socks. That's rebelliousness.

only if they contact me first, sends me pictures of his skinny *** self in boxers and keeps up writing all the time

I would think there's a chance he's a horny pony, yes


Being horny does not always indicate interest, though.

Emailing all the time doesn't, either. Nor do pictures. There are people I email all the time, but am not interested in pursing anything further than friendship with. I've also had people send pictures without shirts on so I could see tattoos. That never indicated an interest to me as well. At least not those things alone.

But, I guess it depends on the person.


yes I don;t agree - all of those things indicate interest. or he wouldn't be emailing me


I can only go by my own experiences and what I've done as well. Like I said, I've emailed people fairly often that I am not interested in being more than friends with. So, because I know that I do that without more interest, I can't assume that someone is interested in me simply because we're sending emails. Of course, if they state they're interested, that's much different, as I pay attention to what they're saying, in addition to what they're doing.
cool

ya mine usually mail with...well I can tell - and I have not ever had anyone NOT express an interest


You've never had anyone email you who didn't express an interest in being more than friends? Really? Interesting.

Nope; I think sometimes people just send emails to say hello. I know I have sent emails just to say hi or comment on something about their profile. I remember sending an email to a 19 year old guy from the forums as he wasn't sure if he should join the military or stay with the fire department. Of course I am not interested in a 19 year old guy but wanted to encourage him to persue his dreams.

See, that's what I'm talking about. All emails here certainly do not mean we're interested in everyone we contact.

There's another site I'm on, where it shows on the home page all the questions that are answered. It gives you the option to email the people about their answers to the question. I commented to one guy about what he wrote. He emailed me back, letting me know he read my profile, but he was sorry that he had to let me know he was not interested at this time, as he just started dating someone. But, that if he broke up with her, he knew where to start. There had been nothing in my email about being interested or wanting to meet, so I was confused by that.

That's nice that you found another site you like, but what does it have to do with this thread?

If someone bothers to email me.....then they are interested in SOMETHING to do with me...otherwise they would have emailed someone else.laugh

Most times it is something I have said in the forums here, or a question of what australia is like, or about my dog...(the pic in my profile album thingo)...or something of a non-chat up kind...although, that Eileena!noway laugh ...well she is persistant, I give her that!!... 4 years of chat up!

If someone emails you....they have some form of interest in you....it just may not be the kind of interest you would prefer.

(You = a generalised 'you'...not a specific you)

Aw Lex, don't worry. Someone will appreciate you. You are like a cold glass of ice water on a very hot day. Refreshing in and of itself. No need to bastardize it. But some people have to go throwing Kool Aid and such in the water all the time without bothering to take a drink first. They can't just appreciate a nice glass of ice water.

Yes, of course. I go out and buy an engagement ring and a box of condoms every time

Nope, My profile says only firends so if anyone emails me I just figure they are happy to be my friend..

Well until they ask me to marry them or that they have been waiting for me.. then I just figure they are a scammer.


It would be the same if I was single, I would think that they where checking me out but to be my friend first.

If an email is sent and response is made, I do not assume or intend interest. I respond to emails as a gesture of gratitude that someone took the time and worked up the courage to mail me something and vice versa. TO determine interest, I base it on the frequency and content of the mail.
Although, some boys have no problem immediately stating their interest in only having sex with me, and in that case, a reply is rarely made.

This makes loooods of sense to me. I do assume there is some level of interest in the first email tho. Even if its an interest in finding out if we could be interested in each other....an interest in potential.


Since I sometimes send emails to people that I am not interested in romantically, I can't assume that all emails sent to me show interest either. I base that on what is said in future emails.
