Hi aberfoyle. You are right. I thinking writing to more than one is fine as long as it doesn't cross the boundaries when things may appear as playful or deceptive.
Then why the girls were so upset when they found that guy (from India) were talking to three or four girls at the same time? Maybe he was at the casual stage whereas the girls thought he was serious?
Now that gets tricky. I saw on CS forum a guy was bashed because he was emailing with more than one girls and most girls were pissed off. I wonder why there is not any reactions from guys when they know that a girl is emailing with more than one guys to be able to choose the best one or to increase her chances. Discrimination?
is it possible to make three different lists-- one for ready and available, another for taken and definitely not available, and the third one for in-between (i.e. not taken but not ready)?
It is like a vicious cycle-- Industries let people go because of their economic crisis; People get poor because they loose job; People cannot buy because they are poor; Industries get more economic crisis because people do not buy their products....
The question is-- Is it only for the moment? Or, there's something that really needs to be done?
it is hitting everywhere with oil and food prices going up and people losing jobs. Europe also has announced recessation, China's growth rate is now lowest in last 19 years... What can be done? Should we start panicing?
I can offer myself as the matchmaker. But you need to follow these rules--
1) Send me your very private profile-- all the statistics and history. Matchmaker cannot guarantee their confidentiality as they may need to be shared with your potential suitor.
2) Tell me your unique selling point (USP) and your absolute minimum requirement (AMR) for the partner. Tell me also the additional criteria for your partner that you would prefer or consider as bonus. This will help to find your ideal match.
3) Tell me your blind spots or things that turn you off that your partner must be aware of.
4) Tell me the things you accept and things you would like to change for yourself. There is nothing in-between-- either accept or change.
5) Once you receive a proporal you will have three options. A) Accept the proposal as it is, B) Conditionally accept the proposal with the conditions to change certain things with definite time lines (Point # 4 will help to find if they are within the realm of change plan), C) Not acceptable.
6) Never imagine of bashing the matchmaker. Believe that matchmaker is always right.
7) If you ever doubt that the matchmaker is not right, follow rule # 6.
Tell me if you would be interested in appoining me as your matchmaker.
RE: Who are you???
I'm in the process of knowing myself. But myself is always changing in the process. So knowing never ends...
