Though it is my way to send a quick note - I have found that is not sufficient for some. More than once, I have received a reply questioning my note (of rejection?). A couple of months ago, I was generally busy - work, kids, and a host of unexpected problems and, on top of this, preparing a party. I received a note from what looked to be an interesting gentleman and responded that I was really busy, but I'd get back to him as soon as I could. I sat down a couple of days later to a stuffed inbox - I received several emails from him of the I'm still waiting variety. I made a concilitory reply to which he responded that I was obviously not a real sub and it is more obvious we would never get along if the response time is indicative of my casual dealings with potential masters. Holy cow! More recently, I have begun dating and am hoping and hopeful. I will send a note indicating that I am not comfortable communicating with intent while seeing this person - though it seems the common method to keep going until there is a level of certainty, I am not comfortable with that. However, with a couple of exceptions, I get replies in which it seems that my polite note was not read at all. If I am sitting at the computer and I have the time, I have no problem sending a quick response, and new acquaintances are a good thing, but I have already said thanks but no thanks. That is not a annoying as the responses which inform me that if I am not interested then I should take off my profile, I am leading men on and being a tease - again Holy cow! I do send a response, it usually takes little time. Though it is rude to not send a response, I am coming to the conclusion that it is easier. The message is obviously more clear. newflowers
