As with everything in life, there are just certain things, people and situations that should be ignored. As you become more and more involved with online dating, you will see what I mean.
When you decide to get involved with online dating, let me warn you in advance; you will run into more than your share of “undesirables”. There is absolute no way to avoid it. They are on every single site!
Based on my experience, the following are emails you should ignore;
If someone decides they want to just flat out proposition you, don’t even respond. By responding, you have at least “acknowledged” them and I personally do not believe they deserve an acknowledgement. Simply delete the email.
Another email to ignore is...the ones that include full color (or black and white) photos of their genitals. In this type of case, I’ve learned no response is the best response! But I must admit...now and then I will make a comment...but they never seem to appreciate it...
As I stop to think about it, I wonder what type of response they are expecting? “Wow...that’s nice....” “Does it come in other colors?” One day I may be bold enough to start commenting and see where it ends up! (I’ll let you know!) To be perfectly honest, I believe it is strictly for “shock” value.
The other emails to ignore are the ones that are insulting. Some people will comment on your profile, your picture, your essays, in a very derogatory manner. Their reasoning for doing this? I have no idea! In the early days of my “Online Life” I would respond and it would turn into an online feud that would literally go on for days! I no longer choose to waste my online time this way.
If ignoring the emails doesn’t work, I believe all online dating sites give you an option to totally block other members. In the long run, that is your best bet.
Your online experience should be fun and exciting. If someone chooses to alter your experience with their emails? Simply ignore them!
Do You Know What You Want Online?
Stop and think about it...if you don’t know what you want online how will you know when you find it?
Be clear that this is the avenue you want to take to find your love interest. Once you are sure this is the route you want to go, then you have to decide exactly what you are looking for.
So many singles just jump online...hang out for awhile...make a few mistakes...run into a few losers...then run and tell the world than online dating doesn’t work. Online dating doesn’t work, if you do not know what you want!
The only way to avoid this is to have an exact plan of action. Be sure of what you want to obtain from online dating. If you want casual friends...then that is what you should state in your profile. If you are looking for a committed relationship, state that in your profile.
It is unfair to you and others to have a “hidden agenda” when you set up your profile. If you are sure you are only interested in a totally committed relationship, I’m talking marriage, family and living happily ever after...then don’t lure men that are looking for casual relationships and try to “convert” them! It happens all of the time...and it fails all of the time!! Be true to yourself...before you even attempt to be true to others.
If you aren’t sure what you want exactly, be honest enough to state that. I clearly state I am not looking for a serious relationship...but if a good one comes my way I won’t turn it down!
Before getting involved with online dating, please know what you want! If you don’t take the time to determine this in advance...? You are asking for trouble...
Make up your mind...then start shopping! The choices are endless...!
