Biggest reason not to reply?
Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 06:43 PM

Hello all,



I am curious as to what would be the biggest reason that you wouldn't reply to a guy? (not specifically me, in general)



Also, how often do you find that you will send a message or a "wink" (which I fine a tad girlie) and get no reply or even them reading the message?



I know it can be from inactive members or people that don't come here often, but you can never really tell when the last time they logged in was.. I think maybe a last login date would be nice so that you don't sit there wondering if they will ever reply at times?

I try to message everybody back at least once. The number one reason for rejecting them though is if I can look at their profile and know right off the bat that I'm not interested. Usually I don't get further than reading where they live, since I have no interest in long distance. I've tried it before, and it doesn't work for me. Sure I'd be ok with it if I felt God was calling me to one, but more than 2 hours away just doesn't interest me right now. Besides, I think I found someone...

Tulip,



I totally hear that. I haven't been in a long distance before and I am not sure how it would go, but I am willing to try.



Congrats kinda by the way. Haha. Do you mind saying who so I don't step on your toes so to speak. Haha. Although, I don't know if we are looking in the same age range. Haha.

One way to know if they are active is to use the advanced search feature. The result are ordered by when the person was last logged in, the ones towards the top being the most recent. Even if they turned off the setting to show when they are online or not, they will still show up towards the top of the search results.

Cobbler, I have used that before for, but from what I see is that they appear by distance and not by last login.



Did you ask one of the admins about that?

I think we're actually looking in an almost identical age range. Just stay away from 21 year olds in Georgia for now, and I think you'll be safe. Not that I'm worried though. No man can really compete with my unique brand of natural charm, rugged good looks, irresistible sense of humor, and motorcycle... Hahaha jk. I'd just rather keep things on the DL for now until I meet her in 10 days or so.

Haha, I am saying the only interest I have in your state right now is the peaches. Haha.



Joking aside though, I just haven't found anyone from your state that I would be willing to try and make a long distance relationship work with me.

Pixy,



You mentioned that you sometimes have to choose between messages that sound friendly over messages that imply a greater romantic interest.



I usually only message girls that I have a possible romantic interest in . . . I am not one of those guys who can just fall in love with a profile :rolleyes: As a result, I keep the tone of my initial messages friendly and then depending on how the conversation is going start adding the flirting/romantic interest linguistic communications. :angel:



What I don't want is to come off in that initial message as a scammer or a creeper but according to you simply being friendly in the initial message may give me the boot over others who were more direct early on . . .



So I ask, where is the proper balance? (And this question is open to anyone)
