Advice on Timewasters

6 Jun 2005

It's such a pity that people have to split hairs to prove their point. I joined this site for geniune reasons and so far have sent E Mails to two adverts. The first I admit I chanced my arm but I was honest and very genuine. I did get a reply and I answered that to be left with nothing else but total silence. Perhaps I upset them? I don't know I E Mailed them again to sorry if I had and if so perhaps they could tell me what it was so I could quickly learn not to do it again :- and still nothing so presumeably they don't have the courtesy of telling me "Thank you but no thank you". The second advert I answered I read 3 times to make sure that a) I had read it correctly and b) I complied with everything they asked for. As I did I sent them an E mail and I am still awaiting a reply. I am a married man but the wife dosn't play so perhaps I am cast as a single, either way if people both in the forum and those that placed the ads were a little more respectful to both reply even if it is a NO I AM NOT INTERESTED and to take stock of the other persons viewpoint then this site would be a lot better. Does it really matter if its 60% or % the point seems to be some ads prevoke time wasters and perhaps others don't. If yours did you have to try and sift the good from the bad if yours didn't then this time you have probably been lucky but who knows what might happen next

Since I joined the site I have sent a few replies and responded to some ads but to little avail, did speak several times with a girl in Cornwall who was nice to chat to but never chanced my arm at arranging a meet for mostly practical reasons. Started this with hope in my heart and would never dream of being a no show or timewaster but the lack of any response to my genuine efforts has rather dampened my ardour. Now resort to just browsing for amusements sake and have rather given up trying to arrange anything, have recently joined another site which is far more forgiving and where the members are friendlier, less judgmental and.....sorry to say this......a little more respectful, at least if they aren't interested they say so and even then we still sometimes keep in touch for a laugh. Sorry if this is whingy, bit knackered, had a long day and ready to crash XX
