Is there one person on this app that you have been absolutely dying to talk to but for what ever reason have never had the stones to message or they never messaged you back?

Are you joking. You could never be punching above your weight.

For one you're absolutely stunning and have an incredible figure and two we have spoken in the past and you have an amazing personality. Anyone would be lucky to get a message from you.

I like that dude. I always do my best to respect a woman's wishes. I would never send any abuse or anything like that just because I wouldn't get a reply. It's too disrespectful and that just not who I am.

I think I have only ever received a first message like once or twice and I feel you what it is lovely to be messaged first.

I completely agree. It's such a bummer when you spend ages writing a message for it to be deleted right away.

I suppose it's how it goes though. Can't force someone to be attracted to you.

Away with the faeries

Last year there may have been one or two, off the back of some forum activity which I'd thought was clever, funny.

They then fizzled out as the messaging seemed really very different to their considered thread responses. I'm guessing they just weren't that interested and perhaps were being polite.

I'm not great at making a first move in general so it was a little bit of a leap for me.

Happy to be a little voyeur for now.

Some guys in here just are not interested in getting to know people on a one to one. They want sex chat from start to finish.

Mostly, though, it’s because I’ve yet to come up with a zinger of an opener. Once I do, Hotlist of mine BEWARE!"

Ahaha you got this dude.

My suggestion is read the profile and come up with a banging zinger related to that. You can't go wrong with that. Shows you have read and understand what they are looking for.

If I was to like the look of someone and there was something in their profile that ruled me out I just wouldn't message. No point wasting anyone time.

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I have a habit of waiting and waiting and hoping. And then I talk myself into sending a message, and the following 3 minutes go like this....

Hit send

Panic because I'm punching

Figure they'll just want to have a friendly chat

Decide what the hell, because it's not real life anyway

Check if they've read the message

Check if they're online

Close the browser

Open the browser and deliberately not look at messages

Tell myself to stop being a dick

Realise they're probably either looking at my profile and laughing at the thought they might want to chat to me or they haven't read the message

Give up

I can pack a lot into 3 minutes.

These days I settle for being gobsmacked if anyone I find attractive messages me, and other than that I just send a message off the back of a forum thread.

And in actual answer to the OP, there was. And I thank god for the forum

"One that sent me a nice message yesterday thanking me for something but I am outwith their wants so they were being polite which is a nice trait."

That is lovely. There needs to be more people like that around.

I know some men hate the words "you're not my type, but thank you" honestly if I was to get a reply like this that would actually be really nice as it shows they have made an effort just as much as you have in the first place.

Unfortuantely a lot of people lack respect for eachother on the internet.

I get guys message me all the time, and I'll always reply with "thank you, sorry but I'm straight". It's nice to be nice and doesn't cost a penny.

But why not? If you put the same principle into life you will never get anywhere. You'll never get that job you deserve, you'll never going on the holiday you want or you won't buy that flash car.

Don't worry about what other think and have faith in yourself. You might not be everyone's cup of tea, but you are someone's.

This is exactly me. Hell, even if distance is unrealistic you just never know what may happen, so I'll let my interest be known.

There was one person I really wanted to see in the flesh and I literally missed by seconds/minutes at a social I attended. It was only because I was too shy to walk over as soon as I got to the venue so I did a lap, went and had a beer on my own and then I got back she was gone

A few others I’d have loved to talk to more but I like the people I talk to privately now and am always open to fresh connections

Reading a few replies a out being shy, or feel they are punching above or whatever, I'd like to think I'm approachable enough that even those that may feel shy would let me know of their interest... That's optimistic right there that they are

If you are too shy to say hi, are you really all that interested in them in the first place? Hmmmm...

I have no issue initiating a first message and I dont get nervous sending it .

I never ever expect a reply because as has been mentioned earlier , I always think theres not a chance in hell I'm attractive enough for this person .

Astonishingly it appears I'm passable occasionally for some

Then don't be shy. You've got this. I have faith in you.

I think I have only ever received a first message like once or twice and I feel you what it is lovely to be messaged first.

I think you might surprise yourself. "

I may do at some point.

It's just the way I am though, even when out I never make the first move.

But once things allow I may start doing searches and message people.

My plan is to use fabswingers for TV/TS as there are more here than Fabguys.

And use Fabguys to seek out men.

When I first started, I used to get quite disheartened when I never got a reply to a well constructed message so just stopped sending the first message assuming they wouldn't be interested.

I think my profile has evolved since then, but I still don't think I have the confidence to send out a first message again even if I did fancy them.

I think of it as Schroedinger's message, if I don't message, they are both interested and not interested

Cone on people if someone like me can build up the courage to chat to others then so can you.

So much time has been lost in the last 10 months that we shouldn't lose any more.

I find reaching out to girls more intimidating than men, but then we get chatting and i discover they felt the same too haha

Nope not one

Yes , several ... some because I know we're not a match despite having the hot for them, others hummm .... I just avoid punching above my weight.

With a figure like that you'd never be punching above

You're too kind , it's all smoke and mirrors and holding my tummy in "

Everything in good time, if it's to happen. But with so many possibilities, you have to move on and put some things behind you. If they weren't interested in me, that's great. It would have been a dead end and they spotted it first. They're lucky breaks, when I've moved on, freeing my resources fully for other people and things.
