VanillaSkyGirl 6 #101 June 24, 2006 Wow, I am already loving the Match.com WINK feature. I doubt that I'll ever WINK at someone first, but it's fun to see who is WINKing at you! I like it better than the e-mails right now because I just want to browse, not talk much, yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #103 June 24, 2006 You're an absolute doll, Rosa. With a heart as kind and giving as yours, you have every right to be cautious. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and my quick-response posse ready in case someone tries to step over the line.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #104 June 24, 2006 Wow, you are such a sweetheart. Thank you. Ok, my pictures are up, and yes, I have received quite a lot of mail and winks already. It's a bit shocking. The one thing that is difficult for me right now is rejecting people. I feel very badly about it, but I don't see the point in leading anyone on. I just wish that I didn't have to turn people away without explanations, but there is no way/no time in which I could do that very easily. Man, do I love the WINKS. It is very innocent, but it gives me a direct idea as to who is interested. I like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two kitties (three if you count the neighbor's that is ALWAYS over here on my car, in our garage and lounging on our windowsill) and a doggie. More to come....

PLFXpert 0 #106 June 24, 2006 Quote I am thinking of perhaps taking back the pics that I've submitted and not posting anything at all in that space. I personally, do not post pics (nor look at them) online for many reasons.... But, I've heard if you don't on such sites you won't have as much response... I've always viewed that as a good thing, myself. If pm's, im's, and e-mails are too plentiful, I just hit "delete all"---I'm just not into being bombarded. But then again, people wonder what you're hiding...so to each their own.For the record: <---is not hiding anything. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

NWFlyer 2 #111 July 10, 2006 If you're not into dating anyone right now, then a dating site is the last place you ought to be looking to meet people. What exactly did you expect to happen? Yeah, the dating sites all have "friends only" as an option but really, that's not the point."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #112 July 10, 2006 Krisanne, I don't know about you, but if I am going to date someone, I would like to be that person's friend first. The men that I am connecting with have been pretty good about understanding that part. I find it odd that the person judging me regarding this aspect is a woman. Wtf?

NWFlyer 2 #113 July 10, 2006 I'm not judging what you want, Rosa, I'm just commenting on your approach, that's all. I suspect you'll find that the people you meet on dating sites may not want to take that approach, or may get frustrated/annoyed/whatever with a very slow friends first buildup. Your mileage may vary, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #114 July 10, 2006 Thankfully, the men that I've decided to talk with are pretty mature and are definitely interested in building upon a friendship first. They seem to be fine with the approach of a slow friendship and are not into pressuring me for anything that isn't natural. That's how it is for me in real life, too. That's why these are the people who I am attracted to. The pushy men...I really don't care to know, so it doesn't matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #115 July 10, 2006 Sad day for me to dicover that Rosa's gone before I even had a chance to actually meet her..... I'm a brawny, 29-y.o. Adonis with multiple Phd's and nobody to love now. Sshhhh, Krisanne...don't say a word! My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
