Funny, I did just what the original poster suggested right before finding this thread. I think it is because I am so busy in my offline life right now, but I found the onslaught of messages from people who clearly had not read my profile, or were one-liners from people with hardly anything in their profile, totally stressful and off-putting. (Specifically, I found myself getting freaked out by the increasingly belligerent one-liners sent within minutes of each other, demanding to know WHY I haven't responded. Dude. Just because you know how to operate the Send button does not make you my dom.) Thing is, I know this is my problem, because it's not like words on a computer screen can hurt me, and I was choosing to get freaked out by it rather than deleting and moving on. So I figure I'll step back and do this on my own time and look for people who interest me. If someone is going to be put off that I contacted him first, we're wrong for each other anyway. (As MontrealPheonix says, I'm terrible at waiting for good things to come to me rather than going out and getting what I want anyway.) God. I am blathering and I'm sorry. I just am glad that I found this thread when I did. I was, in fact, needlessly stressing out about something that's supposed to be fun, so finding some like-minded folks was comforting.
