what's wrong with saying thanks but no thanks
Posted: 7/7/2008 9:41:34 AM
I have to admit, if I get the opening initial e-mail saying how sexy I am with a phone number, I don't bother replying. It just screams player and doesn't interest me and there just seems to be no need to reply. I don't know why some men think that's a turn on in an initial e-mail. Especially if they are graphic. I suppose I could reply with some sort of response, but to me a degrading e-mail that is lacking in class probably doesn't deserve a response. If an e-mail is nice and tasteful, I'll generally respond and let them know whether I'm interested or not. Those strange e-mails though generally just get blocked and deleted. I'm looking for someone that is kind, and doesn't seem like he has all sorts of pat lines dreamed up to pick up women.

I answer all my e-mails, but if I tell a guy I'm not interested in a nice way, the guy should leave me a lone. Nuff said.

Hello nobatteries,

Sorry if that happened to you.

Sometims I have responded nicely to an e-mail, and got a good luck! others I have had a bashing, but a lot want to talk to me and see if we have a chance. The latter seems to be the hardest, as they didn't seem to get the " thanks, but no thanks!" reply.

I am on here to look for long term, and yes, I have been on a few dates and became friends with the guys, but I don't have time to be talking to every guy, who I know(and surely they do to) we won't be a match(e.g. they smoke, I don't. simple. They live miles and miles away from me... too hard, I tried it!)

I don't want to be rude, so I reply. It's curtious. but guys and girls you got to be intune to understand what the reply is saying.

It is best to respond to any communication you may get, but if there's no interest and you want to say "Thanks, but no thanks..." please do it in a nice way.
Bottom line, think of how you would want an e-mail to read if you were to get a response of a "Thanks, but no thanks..." e-mail.
