Why send a second email?
| Wed, 03-02-2005 - 12:23pm |
Why do people send a second email? Do they think that you'll just all of a sudden change your mind? Maybe they forgot they contacted you or think the first email got lost (possibly but a longer shot, I think). I have had several men (of course that do NOT fit my criteria) send multiple emails. I don't get it.

I've had that experience as well. Most fall into the "can't take a hint" file. I've blocked a few because I found them scarily persistent. And I agree -- it's always the ones who don't seem to have read your profile because you have nothing in common.

Vex, probably just not wanting to give up, or worrying that you got so many that their first one was lost in the shuffle, or they want you to know they really want to meet you, or maybe they wished they had said something different ... any number of reasons. I'm assuming you mean a first initial email?

Yes, you are correct - I was talking about the initial contact email. What set me off on this rant was a guy that has obviously not read my profile nor even looked at the age range that I have at the top. He looked at my picture and that was it (or so it seems). Both emails are written in all CAPS (a pet peeve of mine but I don't let that keep me from writing back if they seem otherwise interesting). The first is one big runon sentence and says he loves my profile and asks if I "have a date yet" and if I "would like to chat" and to email him back. Since I am not a paying member and wasn't interested (he's 45, shorter than my preference, not college educated and had pictures of public transportation trains in his profile - what's up with that), I did not email back, not even the "courtesy reply". So 5 days later, I get the second email "HI THERE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE TO CHAT?...T". Ummm, still no. So this time I send the "courtesy reply" which you can send on Match if you are not a paying member saying that we are not a match and give the reason for age. Then I blocked.
