Okay here's the deal. I've been on dating site before and I've send people message. Always polite introductory messages (to get the ball rolling so to speak), and I don't get a reply. Now here's where it gets rude. These sites show you when you're messages are read. I check to see if they are. And I even say "please message me back one way or the other". AND Still no reply. In fact when I confronted someone on it. I got chewed out and called names for simply wanting a simple reply. So again I ask why are people so rude.very mad crying

perhaps they are not being rude... perhaps that is their way of saying, "get lost" in a polite way. Question though do you read the profiles or do you just look at pics? I just had an 18 year old send me a flower and an email. First of all, that told me that he did not read my profile and was rude to me by sending me a flower and an email. I'm old enough to be his mom. Perhaps you should not take it so personally and just move on. JMOcomfort

Hi Jolemonus, you brought up a tough issue. I used to answer, even to say "thank-you" every email I got. However, unfortunatelly, we are not attracted to and by everybody ... not only that, there're other things. In my case, for instance, I do hate smoking, then if I see that the person smokes there are few chances that I'll be even friend of them. Back to the point, when you answer back, is like "opening the door" to the other person and then, it becomes so difficult to explain that you won't write any more. It's really difficult. I don't know what the medium line is... confused

I really do read them. I want a real relationship. I very much so truly do. And I haven't had the problem here. I'm actually refering to another dating site. laugh

But I TOTALLY See your point and I think you are right in what you say. See I take some time and effort and really try to word it right and not look stupid.blushing

shes all over it

cant be too sensitive

wait til you do get contacting some people and discover
youd like to stop-its right awkward and internet makes it easier to drop a few social graces

i know your complaint was conversations not even starting
but everyone has a right to preference and choice.
im old and i still expect people to behave to my standards
all that does is cause me grief

best of luck
ya cant win if ya dont play
comfort

I always reply to emails or flowers, but sometimes when you make it clear you are not interested, they continue to contact you. It is tempting to delete and not respond... cheers

I wouldn't take too personally. I don't always get a response either. I sent one to a person here Aug. 6th and they have yet to even open it let alone respond even though they are active on the site.
Besides, if they're giving you the silent treatment now....imagine what it would be like after 10 years!blues

This is a secret, pliz, don't tell anybody. I've NEVER received a reply to the few ones I sent an "I like you" message. blushing Actually, I stoped sending messages. It was frustrating, that's why I LOVE this site, because I enjoy the other things: the forums and the pic contest. so, you are not alone, my dear angel tongue
