how do you seriously feel upon receiving initial message from someone on a dating site merely just saying hi or hello?

As if the sender doesn't see me as worth the effort of a full sentence. Absolutely nothing flattering about it.

I'm not very interested but usually read the profile.

Hiiiiiii!!!
Yup...I get really excited when they use multiple i's.

I love it so much I respond in Spanish. And keep going in Spanish until they stop.

Had one ask if I speak English and I responded in Spanish that I did. Then asked them in Spanish of they speak English. No response after that... Hahaha

Oh the happiness that goes on inside my head...

am with you into this one

...am very mean,I simply block..haha!

just like this one again?...hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..haha!

buenas dias senior 2e!

They annoy me when I am expecting a message from someone.
I shall just not expect. lol
I don't entertain them..

One word, "delete".

I don't respond, it's really not a conversation starter.

Ugh, like that's it! You couldn't come up with a better catch! Uh, but maybe I'm being too judgmental.

Depends on the dating site.
Depends on the picture.
Depends on my mood.

If they're hot, not on a dating site that's mostly spam or casual attention seeking, and I feel like it, then I'd respond. I mean I post to forums, it's not like my time on here is precious and they're distracting me from my work curing cancer on the medical chat dating forums or something.

I've simply found that if they are unattractive to me, and using a free dating site, then sending "hello" or "hiii" or "wanna chat" generally equates to an experience with someone motivated by: "I'm bored, possibly on my phone using an app, no one else is responding, I want you to entertain me, I have absolutely no intention of meeting or dating you, I simply saw that you were online too, I've sent messages to others and they didn't respond, I want to talk but I want it dragged out of me because I need to feel desired and given attention."


But on more "serious" sites sometimes "hello" is just the way they were taught to start a conversation, they're simply attempting to make online like offline, and that's the first thing you say to someone offline, when you see them at the store or a party or wherever, and they're more used to speaking to people offline than on.

The one word 'Hi' or 'Hello' without a profile get an instant delete. If they have the military listed as a profession and widowed with the rest of the info left blank it's an instant block. Some of them is you do not respond right away they keep coming at you and give themselves away asking for apps, which makes it even easier.

I just write, Not right now, are you?

MOST and I do mean most only shoot ya a Hi or hello


or there are the ones who copy and paste
