ORIGINAL: williebdenied I know I am new here...but why do so many 'hello' notes not even receive a simple 'no thank you' reply email - they just disappear into the void? My thinking is that many "hello notes" are just that....just a simple "hello" without much more. When making contact with someone, a simple hello, is just a simple hello. It's a greeting, and nothing more, if you don't introduce yourself, and offer at least a hint to who you are and why you are contacting the person. I've received many, many "hello" notes: "hello" "Hi, I'm from MI too." "wanna chat" "I read your profile. read mine." These don't usually spark enough interest, in most people, to warrant a return e-mail. My suggestion, for OP is to read profiles and do you best to comprehend the interest of the person. If they spark YOUR interest, send them a note and let them know why you're contacting them. Tell them who you are, and don't get overly excited in your introductory e-mail. The usual other e-mails are: "you are exactly what I'm looking for" (And I have to ask...which means what?) "I love CBT and want you to use a strapon on me" (no other info in the e-mail, seriously) "do you have smelly feet" -the typical standard form letter, sent to ALL women, without any changes (including the former contact's name sometimes) Be personal. Be yourself. Find someone that shares your interests and in located near enough to you to enjoy them in person. (Although I have many friendships that are based on online contact alone, I won't consider a casual partner at a distance.) Good luck in your journey, Gigglebob. K
