I wouldn't just ignore someone without good reason, I always try to send some form of response, its only good manners. But if someone was offensive without provocation, no, I don't think they would warrant a reply.
I always try to respond to posts to me on the Forums also. If I don't, its simply an oversight on my part. Though I do know of a couple that blatantly ignore my posts to them.... speaks volumes, doesn't it? I simply don't hold with bad manners! Tickles me really.....
maybe shyness or fear of rejection, or just plain fear plays a part too? it is hard to know who is real and who isnt when there are so many players out there giving those who are not a bad name. i agree with Rose about being courteous though.
I don't reply to excruciatingly desperate people's mail! They seem needy and because i wasn't blessed with much patience for that, i spare them the pain.
What ever happened to baby steps?: Hi, my name is Lusc.....
most responses I get are two three sentence responses...
THE FUNNY THING IS women i've met my entire life have always been talkative, you know always wanting to VERBALLY shared thoughts opinions and ideas yet in this format I receive short, albeit, cordial responses.. not a clue why that is. So in defense of the online women I have exchanged mail with ...maybe its just me.
No I have sent flowers to some in the past and never got a response.. but usually when that happens.. I take it as no interest. I may after some time goes by send one or two more.. just to see, but if after the third one I still get nothing then I stop trying.
The other thing is that when I do get flowered back, I don't recieve anything of the same quality that I sent out.. and I think to myself... what I don't even rate something better than that?.. but I guess it's the thought that counts...
