How many of you just ignore emails? We are all on a dating site and as I
look at the profiles most of them ask for honesty. Yet I am sure like me
all of you have at least one time sent one out never to get an answer. I
ask this for several reasons, the main reason is I had chatted with
someone on a few occasions and thought about what was said. I gave it a
day or two, actually a week. I then sent an email asking if this lady
had decided if we should chat or whatever. I think you get the picture.
I get an email back with her phone # and an apology. Wow thats a first I
think. Never got an apology. I find out in the conversation that we do
pretty good for a first time call. Nice, we will talk again, and might
even meet someday. As long as the voice holds up.

After all this is said and done how many of you have followed up like
this, or just decided not to answer because you don't feel like it? Me I
think I am one of the few who answer all notes sent at chat sites. Even
those from the scammers or different continents. How many are truly
honest about this?

G,

Your absolutely right on the head with this one. I answer all, like you
stated, then wait and wait and wait. I even ask them rather nicely, once
you look over my profile if your not interested please just reply "no
thanks" so that I may move on.

Nothing!

We are all in the same boat here, a community, we should all be caring
about each others feelings.....

Thanks G., for giving me the opportunity to get on my own soap box!

IF I GET ON THIS SITE,,,I'VE ALREDY ANSWERED ALL MY E'S.

I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME (WOMEN) WHO RARELY RETURN MY E'S

BUT MOST ARE JUST LIKE ME, IF IM ON POST, AND RECIEVE ONE,

I GO REPLY, THEN BACK TO POST, ITS A BITCH, SOMETIMES TO

GO THROUGH MORE THAN 1 PAGE OF THREADS BUT IT WORKS....

I DON'T E OUT TO WOMEN THAT I HAVE NOT SPOKE TO BEFORE.

UNLESS--RARE---REASON, FOR-IT. MOST HAVE CONTACTED ME AT FIRST

THEN I RESPOND AND I DON'T CHAT, MINE IS MESSED UP.

Pls., allow me to sound off.

I think that one of the common problom we share is that we have high
expectations that the e-mail we are reading at the time could be the
one.
I for one, will not answer any e mail that dose not meet my minimal
basic reqierments, if they read my profile then they should beable to
understand my rules. Example, I state that local means in same county,
not country or same geographical location, and yet they keep coming in
from as far as California and parts all over.

Now don't get me wrong, I will answer all that include a pic,(another
basic requierment) for at least they made an effert!

Anyway there's my 2 cents worth.

I answer ALMOST all of the emails I get. The ones from who knows where
with a bio that says she's 20 and a pic you just know she copied and
pasted from some modeling site (not to mention they can't put a sentence
together in real English) get reported and deleted though. As for
distance..... well I figure if a woman wants to be friends I'm always up
for new friends and who knows where it might lead? I don't have the
expectation that any of them might be "the one" but if things hit it off
then distance is just an obstacle to be overcome. I do wish more people
had the courtesy of replying with at least a "not interested" though. An
email isn't like a phone call where you can know if they even saw the
darned thing and I for one hate wondering if someone I was interested in
might have been special but just happened to miss my message. Some say
"it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" but
it's also "better to know they weren't interested from the beginning
than to wonder if they just missed your interest" !

i fully agree with this...by all means..reply to the emails ppl..even if
all you can say is "not interested, good luck"

but i have to say, after emailing with a few ppl on here, sometimes
there's just no reply to an email, they're not necessary..and i've been
asked about why i didn't reply...

if the last email is nothing but "lol yeah i hear ya" then what do you
reply to that?? lol

If a person does not want a certain something,age limit no pic say so up
front.Then if we send a mail and no answer its your loss and we move
on.If there is no limitation and we mail we should get a
responce.Kindness goes a long way.
