I don't know jc, as I've dated a couple here from CS, for a time, as well as emailing them a lot both before, and after our dates spent together. Of coarse in between times, there's been plenty of unanswered emails I've sent, as well as those I receive and briefly respond to. The ladies I've met have always been through the international forums, but they have been ladies in the U.S. Just stick with it, and expand your horizons.

I'm not sure why you don't get a reply, a no thank you would be better than nothing. I get a lot of lookers not much mail, I will answer if I do its the only way to meet someone. Like I said have not dated anyone from here but have from others sites.
Kepp sending mail if you see someone your intrested in, someone will reply.

I always respond politely that at this point in time, I am not looking and can only offer friendship.

I feel if a person went through the efforet, he deserves a reply.

I am sorry others have not extended you the same courtesy.

Pretty much the way I am Cj, as I always respond politely, with interest, or not. I figure everyone deserves a response, with truth, even though that does not always apply when I've sent messasges.

Thank all of you for the response, I was just kind of left hangin out there its so very easy to say..."this dont work' On a better note, not long after posting this. I did recieve a couple responses back. Currently talking to one them right now. Thanks, again. JCwilks

It's so funny that you should say that, cause I feel exactly the same way, obviously from the opposite side of the proverbial coin. I never let an email just sit, and I NEVER 'unread-deleted' like I've had happen to me on POF. I mean, REALLY!! UNREAD! You can tell just by looking at my really dumba** photo and know we're not a match??? Still, we are human. I have sometimes said something like: Sorry, I'm talking to another guy right now, and I really do like to date one at a time... Is there are great way to be let down easy??? 40 women, Wilks, really?? Wow... That's just rude though. Send me an email right now. I'll answer you!

Awww.... I just checked out your profile, You're totally hot, Wilks! You need a new picture though, and make sure you're smiling. Women love pics of a guy smiling. Well, I do. You can see what they will look like when you're having fun together. Good luck, Honey.

I think women are wanting both! Good your not settling! Keep looking, you will find her, or she will find you. It takes alot of patience! In answer to your question, some women may like the attention of having a bunch of emails, and some may not be that type of woman. Good luck in your search!

Some women just like to play games and others just want to get even for the last guy.

It generally becomes obvious fairly quickly who the nutcases are.

Too bad: there are some nce guys out here who are frustrated at the dating scene and try somehting new and find the same old burrosheetu.

I think you're wrong here. Though, you do have a point. There are women who are paid on these sites to talk with you to encourage you stay. But there are also several legit profiles like mine, for example. To me, the hardest thing is that I don't want to encourage a guy who I am only mildly interested in. So I am really torn about what to do with those types of messages. The guys on the forums say to reply because it is polite and I agree, but it may also encourage them when I do not want to actually date them. Why waste their time or mine?????

My opinion is that we don't "owe" people responses. I know it sounds harsh, but I'd rather talk to one or two guys who I am really interested in than 500 of them who I really have no interest in. Just my thougts...

A difference of opinion I like that. Let me ask you this. Because a guy has a hot pic and can B.S. a good profile or good email with the gift of gab, sparking a major interest from you...does that mean he is a good catch? I don't put a whole lot in my profile because I feel the best way to get to know someone is by talking. Every guy is not looking for a date. Those that you may have mild interest in could be the man of your dreams. How do you know?
I do not feel like I am "owed" a response at all. I believe a waste of time is to sit here on your computer stare at profiles and read emails from potential connections and do nothing. I just got out of a bad marriage of 7yrs. I have full custody of my 6yr old daughter and she is my life. Trust me...I am not looking to settle down. Hell, I havent been on a date in over 8yrs so, the whole idea of that kinda of scares the ____ out of me. I just dont feel I can gauge weather or not a woman would be a perfect match for me...spark a connection, with out some type of conversation. Open minds..can open doors.
