navygirl1: I used to reply to all emails and flowers but since I changed my profile from relationship to Hangout; I have been getting nothing but rude comments and scammers. My my block list is becoming hugh. Why don't these idiots grow up?
Goodness I must be sick. I meant to say what I stated above. Better get off the meds.
Polarbutterfly: I don't always answer them simply for the fact that most aren't reading my relationship status and therefore sending me mail or flowers.
Yes, I agree. You put down looking for friends and they say they want a relationship. Obviously not reading the profile.

Could you not change it back to relationship & see if they leave you alone
All mail from anyone under 30 gets immediately blocked, I'm not interested in children...30-35 I'll read but usually just block, still too young. 35 up I'll read and possibly reply. anyone who sends me their email address in a first contact automatically gets blocked.....If I want to chat I'll go to the pub....
Nope, not anymore alot of them don't make sense and clearly they have not read my profile or they would not have written what they had and contacted me in the first place.

I don't reply all the time I personally would rather if I email someone and they are not interested that they do not reply. Who wants to hear not interested all the time that would just be depressing. I think sometimes its better to be cruel to be kind and I wouldn't want to knock someones confidence when they may be a great guy but just not my type of person.
What is wrong with replying to someone who has taken the time to view and read your profile and is being courteous ? After all ,that is what connecting singles is all about A few seconds to compose a line of text isnt too much too ask It can make that persons day
To the people who say they get fed up with being barraged with flowers and e- mails, think yourself lucky,some people might not be receiving any
YES, I normally reply and I am usually polite, too. It does not take too long to reply after all! (Sometimes it takes longer to get back to the PC though. then it may be a few days occasionally.)
However I don't get any replies to my messages (on about 33%) , I don't know FOR WHAT REASON ...
Some people cannot even take it if you want to HELP them improve their English. I do not like pointing out ERRORS, just HELP, which is much better, less offensive and mostly - if possible I will throw in a suitable joke or a funny statement.
I always try to CHEER PEOPLE UP, and not break them down!! - We all have enough STRESS as it is!!!
Should I name them ... 1) Work 2) Family 3) Health 4) Environmental Problems 5) Electromagnetic Radiation ...
We should take more time to UNWIND and DE-STRESS !! - Soft and calm MUSIC, especially Classical Music can help there - even though it is not so calm and soft sometimes!
Certain modern BEATS are breaking down various forms of LIFE, as a certain research was revealing (some years ago - I forgot the details ...). But it goes something like this: In 2 rooms music was played to a collection of various plants. In the one room they played pop and rock music and in the other one harmonious classical music. The plants in the one room where the classical music was played everything was growing well, but in the other room some plants died and others grew in strange shapes and ways.
Yes and animals also love music, at least my dogs do! Now why would they prefer CLASSICAL MUSIC ?? - Has anybody got any ideas? Well they most likely also feel the calm and melodic and harmonious flow of the melody and the right rhythm and beat. - Their instinct tells them, or what?
Instinct: When they do not feel well, they eat a specific plant or grass, so they can throw-up and thereafter they are feeling better again!

Normally I reply out of courtesy but if it is obviously a scammer or someone way out of my age group then I don't encourage them. "Management reserves the right to refuse service to a customer". It is always flattering but I was born at night...it just wasn't last night.
somechick: quote/DO YOU ALWAYS REPLY TO A COMMENT OR FLOWER ON C.SINGLES????No not always.It also depends on what the mesages contain.If they include the persons email address I delete them.
Ditto
Most of the time, I do send a wee flower just to say "thankyou" if it is a compliment, or "thanks but we're not a match" if that's relevent. It can be quite stressful sometimes though, when people insist on not taking a hint and just keep mailing you. Sometimes politeness can backfire!

women get more messages than men so I can see them having more troubles doing this; this isn't jr. high though; just because you message someone doesn't mean you have the right to get a reply,

I agree but I think if someone is nice about it then it could be handles better; if you dont' comment people may just keep messaging
