My apologies for posting this, then handing it over to My Lord. He has, with a single exception, answered well for both of us, so I hope no one has taken offense. It was a rough week at work, and I put in some major OT. For all of your input, thank you so much. We learned a lot, and I think we've found a better way to handle things. We have begun revisiting SLS, and find MANY more people in our area have signed up. Could be promising. My Lord is also taking a more active role in our passive "search" and being the point of initial contact. I think, handling it this way will help us weed out those who can't take the asshole factor. I will shorten the length of the message, as suggested, and will also soften it. Reading it reflected back to me through your eyes helped me realize how it sounds, and that is really not how I would choose to sound. To Creative Dominant: Again, my apologies for the misunderstanding. No, I do not expect them to court me at all. I am sitting back and waiting for initial contact, but if they interest me, I take the bull by the horns, tell them all about us, and ask a lot of question. I will keep the ball rolling if I am interested, and am more than happy to do the legwork of setting up a phone call, IM session, or any other contact such as meetings. I will go out of my way to talk to them and email them, if that's possible for me to do. The thing I am trying to head off is being cussed out for not being online when someone else "expected" me to when I never made any commitment to do so, or to avoid repeated requests for nude photos, etc, etc, etc. I don't expect them to email and/or call me anymore then I do them, nor do I expect them to quit living their life just because I'm in it. If they hang up on me because their best friend just called or their dog needs to go out, I don't take it personal. They do have to live their life. Even if they politely cancel a date for something more important; I hope they will be as understanding if I do the same to them. The ideal person for us at this stage would be like the many male friends I have. Happy to get together for some drinks every few weeks, occasional texts or myspace comments/messages, and once in a while a phone call when they need a friend. I have only one friend with whom I have daily contact and he works with me, and is not this nature of friend. Fwb is exactly what we seek. Again, thank you all for you input on the letter, and our not-so-search. Cheers!
