Just wondering what people felt is the way they would like to have others introduce themselves to you from a dating website.
How would you introduce your self to them?
It's a bit hard on the net to wander up along side and say "Would you like a drink?" (Except maybe for one, and we all know the Bar Manageress)

I like to be forward and brazen. It lacks a bit of tact or diplomacy but it gets noticed one way or another, people like it or they don't. That is me in a nutshell, so i am not going to pretend that I am anything different. wink

Well, DON'T send tham a long email about how beautiful they are, how much you want a relatinship and how GOD meant you to be togtherrolling on the floor laughing

Got one like this about a week ago (I can smell a scammer a mile away now). I replied "Sorry, don't think it would work out, as I'm not a Christian and not looking for a relationship".

Can't understand why no-one else voted for option 8 - it makes sense to me.

Where's the "want to jump your bones" option?laugh

would be nice if they actually READ profiles first and went from there, as stated many times before not many men read profiles just look at the pics and go full bore from there, you have to read wat that person has stated and respect their preferences, I DO! confused and if you find you fit their criteria then send them a flower first, once you get a reply, then email thumbs up

That's the problem....they don't read profiles anyway, well most don't. If they send a flower or email it's a nice way to start. Of course I have to agree with SXC, the forums have certainly been the only way I've been able to judge what people are really like. Pity it wasn't a mandatory part of CS.

Yes Phae - I'm not giving up - just more wary now. The guy I corresponded with for about 3 weeks really had me going & feeling like a young girl in love - then I was let down with a BIG thump (didn't lose any money, at least)


I know that there are genuine people on this tire and now I know how to spot the scammers!
