do other people think that if a person is not interested in the other person after contacting them it is only fair to tell the other person instead of just never contacting them again?

yep

Agree.

I agree also. I really do not like it when you attempt to be nice to another person and don't ever get any response from them.

i agree ,they should tell you

nah

It's dishearting when you contact someone where-in their profile say's how caring and considerate they are. And you never get a response.

So does anyone have a nice way to do this.

I reponded to 2 today that were "iffy" because the spelling and the grammar was so bad. I told the one guy that there was a recent posting that people just do not want to respond to badly worded profiles and to go back and redo his prifile. I only did this because in his profile blurp he said everyone on JSH just "Looks" and doesn't post...
was this bad

agree...i love the ones that say not shallow, down to earth, looking to meet real people for friends, it shows they have looked at your profile and just ignored ya. lmao....uhmmm ok

well first of all why does evryone worry about grammar wen ur typing, its simple and easy to missa key o mispell a word. its no bad u told him to go redo his profile, but dont base on who a person y the why they type, who cares

if i get an email i'll respond to it, out of courtesy and respect, one way or the other

agree

I think it would be fair and right to contact the other person. I just joined here today, and another site for about 6 days and I have met some very nice people to chat with. I realized a long time ago that the world was not a "fair or just" place so I've adjusted accordingly.

I made one and only one attempt at real contact and I ended it with "If you find anything interesting in what I've said I'd like to chat if you have time. If not thank you for your time."

That simple.

None of us are here to bother anyone, nor to be bothered. I leave it open ended, and see what happens. Do I wait around? No.
I don't believe anyone else should either.

I can't say she's totally off-base about bad grammar and spelling. When I see poor spelling and grammar in a profile. And, I don't mean a word or two. It makes a difference to me.

And, Madamx.....

If they don't respond then they weren't worth your time in the first place. The problem solves itself.

if you are led to believe the other person is interested and that another chat is forthcoming.....and then nothing?
thats just wrong....

I didn't say it was right, just what you sometimes have to expect out here.

There are people that believe that there's no one on the other end of the screen. No heart, no soul. It's not right, but prepare youself for them being WRONG.

Gotta protect yourself.

Yes, I think it's courteous and polite.

You're absolutly right.

Thanks. I'm new here, but I've been in chat rooms and posting boards for about 10 years. Without mentally preparing yourself, going on these things is like dropping a fish in a shark tank.

I'm sure you understand the outcome.

Always TRY your best for contact, but EXPECT people to be hesitant to contact. Not for malice, but perhaps fear.

Things would be so much easier if people just SAID, "no I don't want to talk to you" but in the real world, the imperfect world, they don't.

I thank the ones that don't reply and just move on.

Just my nature. Am i disappointed? Yes! Do I let it bother me? Not really!

Just my advice, please take it as just that.
