solsticemoon: Here we go..typical example from this afternoon..
a guy mails me wanting to meet up next week.
.A I don't know him so no chance
B I did'nt find him attractive to me..so I politely replied thanks but Im dating and just here for the forums...
He then emails back...well your a dishonest woman and I wouldnt be interested in you..change ur profile and stop lying..
and a few more decidedly umpleasant mails since..why can't guys just accept no for an answer and move on?


No dishonest woman rolling on the floor laughing

This is very similar to what I have experienced. I found if you try to be nice and reply that some will send you are very nasty message. So I don't find it worth my emotional well being to be insulted.

I very much agree and am actually greatful to have a chance to respond to this question because I've sometimes felt badly for not answering.

I also try my best to respond generally speaking but I also don't bother anymore when I feel that the flower (and or message) are generic or simply impersonnal.

I've once received an abusive reply to a very polite and kind response I had given to a man I felt I wasn't compatible with and that has actually caused me to not answer similar messages for a while. It is very true that some ruin it for others unfortunately but I try as best I can not to let that happen and always respond when someone takes the time to write anything that shows a real personal interest.

What complicates matters is that I've spoken to some men who really value a response weather it be negative or positive and others who would rather not receive a reply unless it's a positive one. If I may make a suggestion that could be helpful to you, perhaps you could include your preference in your profile concerning this matter as some do. I find that it really simplifies matters and puts everyone at ease.

All the best to you!

gopi59: They just dont even bother to reply to youe e-mails,flowers or friend requests.........is it not a courtesy, to reply with a thank you, but no thanks.......courtesy e-mail?

What has been your experience......pleased to hear......

Well, don't feel bad. A few months ago I thought I'd give it a try, so I wrote a letter to myself to see how it worked...

...still waiting on a reply! laugh

Hang in there. Look at it like this...those that don't reply are missing out, and any who does reply, may find something wonderful. That, of course, will depend on you.
Best of luck!

I do believe in courtesy, yes, of course. I try to respond where I am able but this is not always possible.

There may be many reasons, and bearing in mind not everyone lives by the same code of conduct. Don't take it personally.

I have even been ignored at times by those proporting to be "friends".... That said, I have made friends who I now see off-site and will, undoubtedly, be friends for life so I am very fortunate.

C'est la vie, my friend.... move on. This medium does indeed serve a purpose in that it sorts the wheat from the chaff, yeah?

Good luck to you! handshake

I always respond to flowers or emails; unless the emails are rude; then I block them. Even if I am not interested in the person, I take the curtosey of thanking them but telling them politely that I am not interested.

Most of the emails I get say that I should contact them if I am interested. If I'm not, I don't. I do reply to the other ones, usually to say "Thank you Mr X from Saudi Arabia/Pakistan, but you are a bit too far away for a coffee. Take care."

I don't think you should assume that people are ignoring you intentionally. It's more likely that their mail and flowercard settings mean they just don't see what you've sent - unless they go into their filtered areas every so often, which many females seem not to.

Ah that explains it.

I think you need to verify the address in your form letter.
I keep getting all these big checks addressed to HJF.

Most people rarely log into CS so unless you see its been read it's safe to assume they haven't checked it yet. That's why whenever I finally get a relatively active dialogue with someone and feel comfortable with them.. I always give them my facebook link because I'm on there everyday.. sometimes even my phone number for texts. Easier to get to know someone if you're engaging them with a real conversation, not through a time machine like CS!


Great place to meet people though!
