RUDE PEOPLE

When I send a flower or mail to a person, I understand that what I have to offer may not be what that person is seeking or I may not be physically attractive to the people whom I have contacted however I think it is rude if the people I have contacted do not reply even if it is just to say a thank you for reading their profile. Is this perception old fashioned or do other people feel the same.
Like wise I have experienced several situations where I have been writing to people for a period of time then they stop writing, usually after a week or so I send a note to say thank you and goodbye, every time I do this the person replies saying they wish to continue corresponding then never send another mail. I find it most disagreeable to be left “hanging” waiting for a persons reply

@ feelinglost
I understand you but we all here have no rules to behave, we behave similar, probably, to real life.
Have a nice dayhandshake
You're absolutely right, it does cost nothing to be polite and thank someone if you've received a flower or email, though not all people think the same! That unfortunately is just the way things are.

I think we've all experienced people chatting then disappearing and cutting off contact, if that's the case then they never were interested in the first place.

Don't worry too much, there are all types on these sites, you just need to take the good with the bad..... some time someone special may turn up, never give up!

All the best
Flower me,and i replywave
Thats right choose him,he lives closer!!doh rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Maryb... sorry you have bloked flowers from outside your area.
ment to say BLOCKED!!! hahaha
Swordfish thank you for what you said… lived in Bournemouth for a couple of years late 90’s had a sandwich shop in an arcade there and lived in Talbot village, also had a flat in lower Parkstone for 20+ years… nice place.
Thank you Aswina and particolor for your comments
I like those bloked flowers are they males??grin cheers rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
feeling...I felt sorry for those customers in your sandwich shop!But Ive heard most of them have recovered now.crying yay yay yay yay yay yay
I agree though I must say that I am sure there are certain females who receive many many flowers just as there are some men who I'm sure receive more emails than usual and in those cases it would be difficult to acknowledge everyone....
Yeh feelinglost, Bournemouth is a great place with beautiful beaches. I lived in Parkstone too for a while.
I'm sure it's warmer were you are though!
I agree with you totally. cheers
But, some people just aren't courteous.
Unfortunately, this blog isn't going to change that.
I suggest letting it go and moving on to the next person.
Good luck with your search thumbs up
Jim is right complaining about this is not going to change the situation. It's hard to reply to someone when you are not interested in them. What do you say? Thank you but I'm not interested? How is this supposed to make the person feel better? If you say thank you for the flower the other person is usually encouraged.
About the second situation I am familiar with that type. They seem to be interested and then stop writing. Most likely the found someone else. Nothing you can do about that either. Think it wasn't meant to be with that person.
One can say, "Thank you for your interest. However, I am seeking someone who better fits the criteria I value. Good luck with your search."

Alternatively, one could write, "Are you outta ya friggin' mind ? You'd have a better chance of finding an Obama supporter in the Palin household." laugh
I usualy dont reply to mails or flowers unless they have something to say.. i mean just a smile or a hi is not somethinG id reply TO.. but then again i dint like it wen i mailed someone n they dont reply...hmm.. wat goes around.. comes around..
I much prefer "hi" over those long intro letters telling me that
I am the soulmate they have searched their whole life for. laugh
feelinglost: I've had such experiences and I must say it's quite annoying and disrespectful. I think we need knowing more about how to communicate through the net. In the past there were strict rules and traditions including instructions how to write letters etc. That way every confusion and misunderstanding were prevented.
Nowadays we are mesmerized by the opportunities and freedom the net communication gives. So often we don't feel responsible about our communication with other people. Most of us don't respect any rules of kindness. I think a new code of communication in the net is needed! Of course it should be "created" spontaneously by people who want to put some elementary rules in this mess...handshake
Not everyone is the same. There's nice people out there too. lips
Swordfish… Although the weather is better here I miss the Bournemouth area it was always full of life with interesting people good restaurants and bars… Make the most of it!
Thanks feelinglost, I will do!
To be honest I get many of these things (and also messages) if I had to reply on everything I simply would have no life anymore. 24/7 replying..
And don't forget a lot of women here on this site get 40/50 messages per day.

I personally usually only reply on people who seriously take the time to get to know you. A single flower or just a 1 word message saying 'hello' sounds pretty uninterested and lame to me.

And also many people have issues and lives that 'prevents' them from further contacting. They got a relationship in the meantime, personal problems or suddenly a very busy schedule and so on..

Don't take it personally please :) It got usually nothing to do with you as a person.
And yes I never ever had a lack of attention in real life. But should that prevent me from broaden my horizon? I met some truly wonderful and great people on this site (from other countries) that I otherwise would have never met/get in contact with.
feeling...No thanks Ill take a raincheck.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughingIt was only a joke you know ?rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing I might be just one of your rude people!No I'm not.beer
Parti... I was only joking as well! have a good day

Azull... Thank you for your comments nice to read you have found some great people on this site hope it works out for you.
And then again...you get the weirdos who just cant get no for an answer..I usually reply and say thank you but not interested and wish them luck...but some men..think that when a woman says no its actually a yes...and they just keep on sending msgs...so, sometimes, I do result to saying nothing...especially men from certain Asian countries.
If people cant handle rejection, then they should not be on these kind of sites..as its impossible for everyone to like you..
HAH - i refer to the 2nd paragraph in your blog. exactly my sentiments. people who just disappear without a hey or a ho. mighty rude i say! grrrrrr.. dunno
