flowerforyou Its best not to even bother emailing the lurkers.flowerforyou Talking to the lurkers practically never goes anywhereflowerforyou Most of the forum dwellers will respond to you if you are polite and you are also a forum dwellerflowerforyou


I used to write to new local people I would see running through New Matches, just to welcome them to the site, let them know about the forums, maybe ask a question or two about their profiles. Some of them started posting in the forums (albeit briefly) the same day I sent the note, but not one of them ever bothered to write back. After that, I stopped sending first e-mails anymore.

The whole point of this site is to simply JustSayHi! Ha ha...
I for one answer everyones email back and IM -- well IM if I catch it there ha ha. I do admit that I pick only certain people as friends and what not. Plus qucik to delete them if I choose too. Ahh point is .... it's rude to be so rude on here... if someone took the time to get in contact with another that person should have the respect to respond back either way. DahDahDerr

Oh trust this... if an email is bad enought, they get a response, and for some reason I never hear from them again. Yes, sometimes on the street I reply with a hello, but sometimes I don't, depends on the "feel" of the situation. And yes, common decency is definatly passe, the entitlement that people feel is definatly passe, again just because I have a phone doesn't mean I have to answer it. I am entitled to nothing of you, and you are entitled to nothing from me... That is common courtesy.


And here, I thought I was bitter. Saying hello to people is just as basic as not peeing in the office plant. If strangers can't say hello to each other, what's the point of going on? If you don't answer the phone, why have a phone? And if life has come down to not being decent, why go on living? Somebody waves, you wave. Someone says hello, you say hello. Somebody gives you the finger, you give them the finger right back. And would somebody answer that f'in phone!

You are right, if you do not want to answer,...do not. But remember that two very good friends ,....some day were strangers,...but one of them gave a first step,....and,...surprise,...friendship!. But at the end is your choice!,.flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou


heh...i have wonderful friends...from this site and others. i'm very blessed.

i also have a very active and full life, and i refuse to feel beholden to an email. i write if i feel like it...not because i have to out of a misplaced sense of guilt.

it clearly states in my profile that i'm not looking for a relationship...so i don't feel guilty about brushing off the ones that try and convince me otherwise.


Sorry,...it was only a comment, i also have wonderful friends,..and my life is full of good things. but if someone say hallo, i answer. i am not talking about relationship, i am talking about friendship and cortesy,...i understand your point of view. sorry, i did not say that your life was empty. Have a nice afternoon!

Listen, I was raised a country girl, we sat on the front porch and waved at people who went down our street. I do say hello when I am spoken to, however if the situation feels creepy, I am under no obligation to respond. I own a telephone for MY use, not so that YOU can get ahold of me, if someone calls that I do not want to talk to, I don't answer, that is my right as the person who pays the bill.

As Lulu said, I don't feel unwarranted guilt because I don't respond to someone.... Guilt is a useless emotion....

Love is a useless emotion too, but people still strive for that. Hopefully the world will end soon, because humanity needs an enema.

why is it rude to not answer? why do we owe complete strangers our time? why do we feel absolutely compelled to send out words to someone we've never met nor talked to?

i don't always answer...and i never will. i don't always answer my phone, either...nor return messages.

if there's a question or concern about the site, then i'll answer. other than that...it's hit or miss.



I cheer you on. You know what they say, great minds think alike. drinker

It depends on how the "hi" is delivered, if it is in an email that is polite and non raunchy, yes, I respond, if it is interlaced in trash talk..no.


Same as me. I never answer those "Your soooo sexy DAMMNIT!" ones.

if someone writes "nice tits" or something in that vein then the only response will be a block.Other than that I do answer my mail when I come online :)
