Hi all,
Was just wondering what the general population think.

eg.

After a couple of emails back and forth. Is it rude for one person to just ingnore the others email.
And with site features the way they are, you can tell when people are online or have been online.

Just curious, thats all.

Well i think its rude..i would just tell them straight out that i am not interested and for them to stop mailing me..if it got to bad then there is option to block..just my opinion...

Very bad manners in my opinion. If things are not as one hoped, just say goodbye.

what is better/worse.

to be reject in words, or to have someone just plain ignore you.

Yeah, I think that they deserve a response. I got an email from some one that I knew I was not the right fit, I told him politely that I would want to be friends. He did not respond. So I guess he doesn't. That is an answer in itself, but I do admire some one that can tell it how it is. No lieing, but it is a response.

You've already done this one, haven't you??

Na, well not that i aware of. had it done to me recently, and was just curious.

It is natural for a woman to not want to hurt someone, we rather eat broken shards of glass and walk through a fire.

Hurting people is not a good thing for either sex

I think it depends.. sometimes the emails fizzle out and hit a point of polite nothings for the sake of responding.. you can't really go on doing that indefinitely if there is no click and you have nothing in common.... in those situations its difficult to know what to do.. u do have the option of being honest and saying 'sorry im not interested.. but it seems almost arrogant to assume that they were that into u int the first place.. depends on the content I guess.. if u seemed to be getting on great and all of a sudden then nothing.. then u will have played someone along which is wrong.. sorry about long answer but things are rarely black and white..

Personally I only really email people whos chat I genuinely enjoy.. I don't really entertain small talk for the sake of it, if it doesn't start to 'flow' after email 2 or 3..

i feel it is not rude if you are not into answeing the email or not interested in the person sending it

I agree, very rude at least not to respond with a short note saying that you are just not interested. This has happened to me within the last few days. Very rude. But hey, some people are.

I think the honourable thing to do is to at least reply because you never know,one day,nobody might even think of you,or even write.

I meant the thread...... ??

It can be looked at as rude. But then again, I believe that if you dont have anything nice to say then it is better to say nothing at all. When you are being ignored, there's a 99% chance that you know what caused it and an explanation is unnecessary. *M*

At least it's non-confrontational

I f you have asked someone not to contact you and they continue to try, i don't think it is rude then i would block them

I think it is rude to ignore emails after you have been emailing someone back and forth. For it just to come out of the blue like that is a slap in the face. I was emailing someone and really enjoying the chat, then he was gone. After about a month he was back and sent a note like nothing was wrong. I ignored that.

thats always Possible,

but is say for instance: after a couple of emails, you actually reckonise the other person, they apart of you local community. You mention the fact and suggest a meeting for coffee.

BAM BANG CRASH. ....... meltdown .....

Never to be replied to again.....


Is that cause....????

OOOOOPPPPSS

i think im not responsible if someones feelings are whatever they are
after a few emails

good grief how much time do we have to be online

and i have heard from both genders that often if one is polite, courteous and rather short the other wont let go
or sometimes if you continue being polite and neighborly later they want to believe there is more between you than really is

i think its a case bt case basis thing-no overall policy

but i do hope there are some healthy men that arent 'hurt'
when every gal doesnt answe every email

i mean its an odds game-you cast your net and a few stay
and maybe one is the one, someday

i think people get a little too sensitive and out of proportion
with their feelings and responses
in the beginning of a poooossible correspondence relationship

i also think many of these same people are that way in R/L
and that its scary or uncomfortable for those they approach

get some boundaries already
they are not mean they are healthy

(that wasnt directed at anyone-
its just a manner of speech)
