Do you think it right that if you are incontact with a person/persons on the understanding that you may meet, That when a decision is made you should be told one way or another.
I personally think that it is only good manners to send a polite thanks or no thanks to anyone concerned.
The reason for this is, last night I was talking via email to a couple ( who I will not name) about a possble meet. this was via a couple of emails. then suddenly the emails stopped and I was left in limbo, not knowing if I should contact someone else or wait for a further reply. this did not happen.
By this time it was to late to arrange anythig else.
What do you think? should it be a rule to send a thanks or No thanks?
Dont think you will ever get a rule like that - due to the timewasters that pop in and out of these places - although I was always taught that manners maketh man.
I'm afraid there are lots of timewasters and rude people out there :!: sad
Its a real shame.....do they get a kick out of replying and then nothing else confused:
Unfortunately that is the nature of the internet and the anonymity it affords. People appear and disappear daily in net forums and chatrooms of all types, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Just be grateful there are at least some considerate and polite people around.
If you don't hear back within two years .......... I think it's a no! lol

I had that happen. We contacted a couple and sent the requested face pics. He (on behalf of both) sent us some but with no face. biggrin
We emailed back and forth maybe 3 times over a couple of weeks. He always enclosed graphic pics of them, even though I didn't send anymore of us. Just a letter. He told us personal details, and sounded very personable. :D
His ad asked for a early phone conversation, so I wrote to give our number and a good time to call. :D
Didn't hear anything for 2 weeks. sad
Saw their ad again in the ad pages which was written in a very arrogant tone and much stronger about no this and no that and no time wasters. I sent a message that said 'timewasters?' wink
I received back this absolute torrent of abuse about how small my life was, and how he was too busy and didn't fancy us, and to get over it. :shock: :shock: mad :taz:
I replied with the same sort of message as this post, as in a polite 'no thank you' would have been nice. evil and I thought everything was okay as he was the one doing all the sending of pics, etc.
More abuse arrived in my mailbox. :taz:
:laughabove:
So yes, there are sh*t heads out there. I suppose the best thing to do is not take it personally. :violin:
I had a fella pm me a few days ago and then pop me on his MSN list .. once he had seen my face on webcam he just shut down and has refused to speak to me every since :upset:
Just as well I am thick skinned or I could really be upset .....
I have organised meeting only for folks not to turn up
I even drove 25 miles once in the early days for a no show.. learnt a lot from that one
Yep there truly are some awefully selfish .. downright rude and inconsiderate people here but also fortunately there are some real gems and angels too

like the avatar :!:
as no doubt other people will think
manners cost nothing
if we get anyone that we don't find attractive or decide we don't want to meet i always send a nice thank you but no thanks biggrin
It is good manner to say thanx but no thanx, tho lots of people find it hard to say that due to not wanting to hurt peoples feeling, i myself find it difficult, but saying no is better than nothing.
As for a rule, i doubt that will ever happen.

Sure it wasn't a techincal glitch? Email is not 100% reliable, nor are internet connections. BT have just trashed our office email delivery and receipt system without any warning.

You think thats bad.......... we once drove to Middlesborough and thats about 250 miles from here........... and yep it was a no show sad But not from SH I hasten to add
As someone said - it's all a matter of personal culture...
We had lots of timewaisters from one hand (first cpl of times it was quite kicking-off) but also I have to admit - we've had few messages from people we weren't interested in. In the second situation we always try to wrote not just "thanks but no thanks", but a bit longer e-mail..and be as much polite as we can..
It should be a rule to give an answer to anyone who's sent a message to you IMO.
