| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/18/2008 7:44:56 AM | | I have no problem with it. Its 2008 now not 1950. It shows an air of confidence. Some guys are shy, and some are just plain lazy and think everything should be handed to them so they don't message. I wouldn't think that they would be freaked out. I personally like a woman that can show guts. | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/26/2008 8:56:00 AM | | I am not afraid to contact a Gentelman on this forum as I am confident that no matter how I am recieved I sent my message deliberatly and I am a deliberate person and thats how I am no matter how I am recieved.I dont intend any offense .I am a very accepting person and I generally assume that others are also. | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 11:48:20 AM | I've contacted people in the past, didn't have much success with it though, the men weren't interested in relpying much to me. Their loss, not mine in the end, is the way I feel about it. You just move on with your life and hope that things improve in your life.. | |

I run and hide under my bed when it occurs.
Come out, Harry Peter.
Don't be afraid...or mad... Alien girl won't hurt you. No anal probing, I swear.
*leaves a beer in front of HP's bed, waits for him to come out*

OP, Some guys like it, others don't. If you really like someone you should approach him. Just make sure not to crack some stupid joke, and scare them away....I tend to do that...

Easy now... All is good.... Here's your beer.
Damn it! It's not working. So... what's a gal to do when a boy goes into hiding? That's MY question.
*adds steak to the beer bait*

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/27/2008 3:39:09 PM | | I would have no problem with a woman contacting me first. I would probably be stunned. No woman ever contacts me first. I would also be pleasantly surprised. That would allow me to know that they are interested in me and now I could focus on them. | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/29/2008 1:49:40 AM | No, I find that pretty attractive. The thing is, not enough women make first contact. I did something similar asking women if they were comfortable with making first contact. Interestingly enough, about half said they would, and yet, nothing in my inbox... Oh well... haha.
Yeah, you don't need to worry about what they think. If they think you're being too forward, thats their problem, not yours. | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/29/2008 8:15:36 AM | | In all honesty, I don't mind it in the least. I don't think there are very many guys that would get freaked out by getting a message from a woman. However, when sending a first message, be you man or woman, you have to be prepared for the possibility of not hearing back from that person. It's a chance you have to take, unless you just want to sit on your hands and do nothing. | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 1/29/2008 8:27:16 AM | Um yes I would like it. In the 6 months I have been on here it has never happened, but have had plenty of 'read/deleted' or the ever dreaded 'unread/deleted's from my own first contacts. So it would be a nice change ! | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 2/3/2008 6:19:34 AM | After putting in my 2 cents here about a month ago, I decided to come back and check on things. I started to send more emails to men just making friendly comments about them, their profile, their photos, etc. I've gotten some really nice responses....from those that were interested and those that were just being polite. Both were a nice and welcome surprise.
Of course, I also got the "read/deleted" and "unread/deleted" responses too. That's okay. It just let me know that I shouldn't have an interest in those particular men anyway. I have to admit, I was tempted to send a second email telling them they should remove all references to what a nice guy there are from their profiles.
I think if more people would at least send a friendly, polite response (whether they are interested or not), then more people (both men and women) would feel inclined to send first contact emails. | |

| What do guys think about a girl contacting them first? Posted: 2/3/2008 7:34:23 AM | This is the first time I have read the forums here and I found this posting very helpful. I have contacted a few men and have not gotten any response.
I agree.....I would rather have some kind of response than none at all. Now if I can only get brave enough to try contacting someone first again....lol | |
