"What rubbish, I message people first all the time. If however, I'd only passed a couple of messages to someome and they hadn't replied to my last I would just leave it. " ^ this. Messaging first is fine but I won't chase people around. It's a two-way thing or nothing. | |||

Eeerrr yes of course I've been rejected! For most things and by lots of people if you must know. Hence my insecurities. Why would you think I haven't?" I think the point is that you've faced rejection and found it isn't the end of the world. If you don't message, you don't have a chance of a meet. If you do and they say no, you are in no worse a position than if you hadn't asked. But there is also the possibility they'll say yes. Try not to read anything into rejection. It doesn't mean anything bad about you. There are men you wouldn't meet that you don't think are unattractive, right? They're just not what you're looking for. | |||

"No my point was established friends ,I get messaged first occasionally but it was more about women you've been chatting to for months " I had to take the smilies out of the requote ha, sorry OP but it grinds my gears! Anyway .. Does it really matter though? If you want to chat does it matter if you're the one that messages first? As long as they reply and you're talking it's all good isn't it? I have a few people like that. We'll chat if I contact them first. There are others when sometimes I'll message first, other times they do. All works for me. If they didn't want to talk they wouldn't .. | |||

"No my point was established friends ,I get messaged first occasionally but it was more about women you've been chatting to for months " Well if you're talking about established friends then yeah the ones I have a connection with contact me all the time. And I have no problem contacting them if I feel like it. If there's something genuine there then I find there's conversations going back and forth all the time, literally over months as well...never ending conversations in fact | |||

If I class someome as a "friend" it gives me free reign to message when I like and about any random shit I like." This. I chat to people as and when. If they've said something on the forum I'll drop them a line, but online PM/kik/whatsapp messaging constantly isn't always viable and sometimes the conversation naturally peters out - until the next time. I think what I'm trying to say OP is don't take it so seriously. Who cares if it's always you messaging first, you're getting a response which is probably more than the majority of their inbox. x | |||
