But wouldn't have been a lot easier to just delete her message and block her from contacting you again? I receive a message from a woman a week ago who was too old and too unattractive and I just simply deleted her message and blocked her.

If she had saw a message from me she would have thought I was interested until she opened up the message

Because you would have sent her a grossly impolite and rude response similar to those you've mentioned before in previous posts?

To me, blocking people online is kind of dumb. If they aren't harassing me, then I see no point to block. I didn't even block her after that message. She was mad and that's ok. It happens.

Because there has been times when a woman would send another message saying.....'Oh so I guess you didn't like me huh"

I've never had that happen. If I don't hear back from the woman in 24 than I assume they aren't interested and go on. No one gets anywhere harassing someone on the internet.

Oh good grief. I've had that, and far worse. You just ignore them. Just like you ignore the freaky slobbering dude in the bar. This is no different. IGNORE it and move on.

I dont know about that one. I had dated a guy I met online for a little while. I wont get into why I broke it off with him. He was checking out my profile after that an obscene amount of times, so I blocked him.

I am a little OCD when it comes to clicking profiles myself, so I always remove/delete when something fizzles out. I do like looking at pictures. Out of sight, out of mind.

Isn't the whole thing like starting off with a wide-meshed net? So you have an idea of what you want then narrow down the options according to how they answer your comments and questions. Maybe we all just want to leap into bed/relationship too fast and feel that life is not long enough to wait and find out whether this person is a reasonable 'fit' for our requirements.

Sounds really bad that we have 'requirements' but the basic thing is - that we do. When I was doing the online dating thing, I had a list of major NOs in my mind and if the person fell outside of those, then I just had to move on. There really are so many people out there who need companionship/relationships and what we think matches our requirements dont always work out, and sometimes we get desperate to find that 'soul-mate' haha.

Also, as you go on, the list of huge show-stopping NOs get longer unfortunately. :-)

Basically, when we know ourselves better, we find out and attract the kind of person we get along with and can live with.

After all, they often say that you attract people similar to your parents - until you have learned to move on past the parent-worship stage and realise that they are just normal human people too.

It used to chap my azz when people did that. I prefer Cauasian men. It's what I like, period. It's been a while since I did the online thing but I wouldn't respond now. I know I am not a racist.
