ABrokenWing Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 What do you do when someone contacts you and you're not interested in them. Do you just ignore their emails, email them back and tell them you're not interested, or what?
Cheshire Cat Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 It is a long time since I last used a dating site, but I used to ignore messages that were somewhat unpersonal and clearly sent to multiple people and reply nicely to those users who took the time to compose a more personal and thoughtful message.
Art_Critic Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 When I was doing online dating I emailed each person that emailed me.. If I truly wasn't interested I just put something like " Thanks for your email, Unfortunately I feel we are not a good match, Good luck with your search, Art " Emailing someone who takes the time to form an email and read your profile is just good manners.. I have been on the other end of it before.. Where I may have taken 15 mins of my time reading their profile, Composing a thoughtful email and then they don't respond.. How rude that is.. It shows that the person wasn't worth your consideration to begin with and they aren't the type of person that I wanted to be with..
DunnoWhat Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I've always found that the genuinely nice girl will always reply even if they don't really like your profile. It's nice to be nice as they say and another saying is what goes around comes around. The thing I do if I don't like somebody is just tell them I'm looking to chat and maybe date but it's mainly chat. That way theres no pressure and if you do chat to them you maight find out something you like about them.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 It does seem nicer to respond to someone who sends an email. I would take the time to respond to someone who wrote a thoughtful, personal email. However, if it was just "What's up?" and I wasn't interested I would probably just ignore it.
Ally Boo Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I have rules on this actually. lol If it is a first time email: 1. If it's a short one-liner or generic and I'm not interested. I don't write back. 2. If it says something that actually seems directed to me, I will respond. I follow those rules if I am interested or not. If you've been talking already and you aren't interested, of course say something.
