I get mails from kind people who want to start a relationship. I am very hesitant when it comes to replying these mails. I just don' t want to encourage people or upset them by leading them on.
So I prefer to remain quiet. Does this sound rude???

Whatever makes you yourself more comfortable is the way to go, if you prefer to keep no contact, that is fine, if you like to say no ty, that is fine too..Just as long as you are comfortable

Hello, I would say for sure it is a bit rude to not reply in some way. You are putting yourself out there, right?
Now, of course, if you are one of the lucky ones that gets slammed with dating/romance offers continually then it puts you in the, 'would be rediculous to try and be so polite to keep up with all' category. BUT, definitly should do best to spend time every night and send a couple thank you replys even if not interested. No worry of fear regarding the "leading them on" part of it as you simply say thank you and very sweet compliment but having read your profile do not feel we are a match - or something like that. This is not rude and also is GOOD PRACTICE for you when it comes to being attractive, grateful for being attractive and in he know on how to POLITEY turn down an offer with out hurting feelings. Also toughen you up in the worry over this. Remember, some of us singles are desperate and lonely, some are more to the average opportunity in dates and then there are the luckier than most beauties and handsomeest types with opportunities galore. Use your pretty little head. Johnny

Some guys can't handle rejection. So they attack the women verbally, via email. SO I block them and report them.

If I am not interested in someone who has contacted me, I do send them a note telling them, I am not interested. I usualy block them if they respond in an abusive manner and then report them.

Thank you to all who have responded.
So far, I have had no abusive mails coming my way. I guess, staying quiet is alright, but then as someone says, a polite thank you and I am not interested will be fine as well.

I have got some food for thought. Thank you all!!!!

Nope. If someone wants to start a relationship via an email, then I'd be polite enough to refer them to a funny farm.cool

I have had the same dilemma. I sometimes suspect that the emails are coming from the same person with many accounts. Is that possible on this site? No clue, really.

I respond to some. I don't to others. I don't really know why I do and I don't to be honest. Once in a while when I think I am doing the right thing and telling the person I am not interested in them I get these horrible message routed back to me. This doesn't happen often, but enough to make you say--it isn't worth being polite.

I normally consider that if a woman I communicate to doesn't respond she isn't interested in me and I move on. This internet is so large that you can't make many people happy. Hopefully the "one" will respond and we will find each other.

JMHO

Melani... you live in my town!! Nuwere...

I am troubled by your profile, but honestly, what it say there is clearly that you are looking to find a friend or two for communication, nothing else.

That way ANY offer of relation should be non grata.

Hope you get some order in what is troubling you, wish you the best and a better tomorrow.

I have lost all patience with men who plot to scam my heart. giggle


I crush them like cockroaches.

Just the other day, some fool ignored what I had on my profile, and used God's name to 'pick me up'.

doh


He has been well taken care of. thumbs up
